Tried rope once, the gxl proved to be a heavy pig when hauled by the na... But the NA will show up >> make its last appearance with my name on the title and hopefully fog the area for skeeters.

And i think ive decided on a price for the ADR's, 100bucks and come get the buggers, i need to put rubbers on the TSW's soon and see about fitment on the turbo...hopefully they fit just like the 18's do...just right.

Evan's old G20 had no problem towing the TII once when the clutch slave blew. Man that was an interesting day.

100 bucks for all 4?! Good deal. I can't wait to see what that new turbo does.

hm, I wonder how good the wheels with look on my car.. I understand it's a red car so it'll look about the same but the black vert top is what bothers me.. I have a problem with looking for wheels.. I'm very picky and don't want something to not flow well.. Anyway.. if someone doesn't take you up on your offer I'll take the wheels. I could give you more so I don't feel like I'm robbing you. Then when I finally find some wheels I really really like I can pass them down. Not saying I don't like them now or anything.. I'm just looking for mesh wheels I think.

Yea, meshies are nice on a vert, and either a chrome/silver or a gunmetal/black rim would probably be your best bet.

I think they'd look good on your vert. You're right though, you can't go wrong with mesh wheels on a 7. Unless they're 20's. Then you've gone wrong.

Mazdatrix prices seem pretty even with dealership prices before you factor in shipping. Oddly enough they seem to be staying in business just fine.

They might get a discount for buying in bulk and/or straight from the manufacturer (Denso for example). And they also have a shop.

I just try to do my own bodywork. Some things come out better than others. I've been referred to JR Griffey here in Knoxville by a couple people. They quoted me 2500 to repaint my TII.

Yeah well I was out sanding and buffing the orange peel out on the side today and noticed that I was hitting primer in spots before I even had it level. Lesson learned: sand everything GLASS SMOOTH before applying base and clear.
