Well, the conversion itself is nothing new. Very clean install. Any dyno numbers?

Hey I go to Alamo Rotary all the time. I know Tito and he does excellent work. I've been taking my car there since I bought it from him a year ago. Car has not had a problem at all with the engine or drive train.
It's a great site to pull up and see about 8 FD's and countless FC's.
Everybody knows to take your car to him if you own a Mazda. The only thing I don't like about him is the time he takes to get **** done...a little over excesive!

Street King,

I'm currently looking at a car he's selling. Would you recommend going through him? One problem I have is the fact that I'm out of state. I would really like to see the car before hand. I just want to touch and feel it before I commit to anything.

I'm waiting on a few jpg's from them to see more of the car but aside from pictures I'm stuck in a logistical nightmare as to how else I can see it.

How close are you too them?

Is it the black one with the chrome rims? You should always test it before you buy any car but I do trust him and if if sounds like a good deal then it probably is. I live about 20 minutes away from him. He didnt like me at first because I was only 19 when I bought it and he thought I wouldn't know how to take car of it. But after dealing with him for awhile he knew that I did and its been good ever since. I'am waiting to get a response from him on my wastegate porting. He knows exactly what he's doing so I trust him to the T in the mechanical ways. But he is a little pricey for work but I like his work and hes helped me out a lot. But I repeat you shouldnt buy a car without testing it first, not even from your mama! Good Luck!

I would never buy it without seeing it first...this I know. It is the Black one. What's your take on it? Have you looked at it? They did put a new engine in it 2k ago. It's on consignment.

They look like air horns to me.
The question is WHY put them there?

Notice where the intake filter is. I'm at a loss to explain that "design choice".

Ive seen it its good but the crome wheels make it look kinda cheesy or maybe its the tires but it looks good to me! I wanted to do my rims chrome like that but when I saw that I didn't want to any more.

Consignment means I sell it for you and keep part of the money.

With the placement of the air intake behind the engine, it's never gonna get any cold air......it'll always be sucking hot air in....or....maybe it'll always be sucking the hind teet?
