Yeah, I like Fredericksburg a lot, but the traffic is getting horrible!

Thanks for the .pdf, I'll get cracking on the material list ASAP!

Turbo Jeff: the carpet is black. I just pulled up the aftermarket floor mats the previous owner had put in last night, and the original mazda driver's side mat was there underneath, but no passenger side mat. The carpet under on the driver's side looks really good actually.

you have to mod the car a little though! at least get a catback on there because the stock one is ugly. Then a front lip and 99 tail lights lower it haha theres so much

good luck oh and my favorite reliability mods are the boost and water temp gauges. get some good ones maybe warning they are really important to track.

btw how does the car feel to you fast?
Ive always loved that guys car he copied me on the color though haha. Did you guys do this on the way home too?
I didn't realize I copied you on the color.

Of course this assumes you were able to manipulate time and space and somehow were present in 1998 when we painted the car. We also custom mixed the 5 different shades of red to choose from.

I would rather copy your time machine, rather than the color of your car.

Mmm, the red looks good with black. I have a SSM with red, so I know how nice it really is in person.

I see you were forced to censor your avatar. That's a damn shame.

Cool, I've only ever seen 1 or 2 FD's in this area, and not very regularly. That Wawa is about 5 miles from my house.

Yeah, I never knew they made the black/red either until WVRx7 told me about this car, I thought that the only color combo with red interior was the silver.

rotaryhardcore, your car looks great too

We should do a poll to see how many black /red owners there are.

Definitely...I'd love to know how many are on here.

And thanks.

I bought the car site unseen from Maryland in '99...not even a picture of it. I had someone go take a look at it though. I knew it was black/red before I bought it...but when it arrived abou 12 am one night, I was exstatic to see how wicked that combo looks on the FD.
