I was just going to ask why he needed the monster Tach when it's an auto....


maybe he's shifting it like a standard?

ALL series 3's in other areas of the world had gsl-se (turbo to be more accurate) style suspension.

and Mazda only made the GSL-SE style dash in LHD

I'd say tuck the loose wires away, loose that tach,
get some cool wheels, and paint it. good to go. IMO

If you lose the seat covers and get black seats, it might be worth considering getting the centre section painted body-color yellow (provided you get a clearcoat too)

Bringing the bodycolor inside, when done tastefully, can be a nice cosmetic mod. I had my centre console painted H1 black, with clearcoat, to match my car...

Yeah, she will be sweet when you get her painted. And while the auto trans would limit the driving fun, it does free up your left hand for more social activities while driving.
