I still have more I'm planning to the engine bay but I'm going to the Mazda Meet & Eat on Saturday so this is how she's sits for now.

Went to the Jacksonville Mazda Meet & Eat 2, had a great time.
Seen some old friends and it was good to be out again since I haven't done anything car related since DGRR in April.

Seeing those first gens has motivated me to get mine finished up


Couple if pics...

It's a small imperfection. Kinda like a gorgeous girl with a lisp, or something...

Really though, not only is your car a fine piece of ***, but it can handle it's own, and that's what's important! And you keep it looking good, inside and out!

A Mazdaspeed Strut bar would accent that engine bay up nice... Not sure if it would fit though with the REW...

Thanks, I've thought about the mazdaspeed one too and I think it should fit but I'm more focused on something else currently
