Thanks for the complements guys!


heres some more pics from the show
i didnt get her completely finished, but good enough to bring to the show
still have to do some buttoning up on the body, and finish the wiring to start her up and get tuned!

Roxy was also awarded with the "Hottest Mazda" trophy!!

Absolutely love it

The new wheels are awesome, and I'm lovin' the fat full width tyres. Gives it a real muscular look.

Insanely nice build.
I've bought the feed fenders, re-a diffuser myself and plan on running it with the plateless 99' spec front.
Came across your thread when I was figuring out how much of the rear fenders have to be cut away, and your thread is a huge inspiration

Did you fall in love with your buddy's OZ pegasus and have ISS knock them off? Fat 5's are awesome. Sick wheels. Pegasus and Regamasters are probably my all time's.

PS what became of the OZ's off the cosmo? What's the new wheel setup on that?

yes and no on the design of the wheel

It does have some OZ pegasus in it, but i never really liked the forging that the pegasus came on, and i didnt like that it was reverse bolted

so it actually has a lot of design from the Nismo GT2-LM wheel in it, with some Pegasus flare...and ISS just pulled it up amazingly with their center disk lathe profiling...and it became exactly what i've always wanted

and you are absolutely right, theres nothing like a proper fat 5 spoke

He wont let them go, i've tried everything LOL ...he said hes gona rebuild them, and hang them up in on the wall in his office
ISS is doing something crazy for him, not sure what though, last he told me, he loved their Blonix F/10 design
...should find out soon

thanks for all the complements and encouragement guys!!

I never thought my car would get to this point, and i feel truly blessed...been working towards this since i saw the FD for the first time!!

The wing will be going on the car!! Just taking a little bit of time to get my school work out of the way...mid-terms is killing me right now

Should have it up and running, tuned, wing installed by the end of October for the Churazco Meet and Simply Clean 4

Hey guys,

finally got some new stuff to post!!

Picked up some of the last parts for the car

-Garfinkle Engine Torque Dampener
settle the drivetrain for more spot on shifting
not sure what finish i'm going to do on mine yet

-Shine 3 piece undertray
the last part of the aero kit that i needed

-Tweak-It Idler Pulley
no water pump pulley slippage and over heating for me


everything should be here in about a weeks time...the worst part about buying parts, the shipping time!!!
