Tore the tints off my headlights and taillights after a ticket last week. Also told by officer that I'd need to mount my front plate, so waiting for the bell mount.

^ FYI, my Bell mount was okay, but it got real rusty and ugly after a year or two. I've had better luck with the Rho-plate, though it's ninety bucks:

OK thanks for the heads up. I'm in WA so lots of water will be splashed. It's not permanent just a quick fix. Had planned on the electric plate hider mount just for gigs.

That Rho Plate looks awesome though.

Took her to the track again. Was promoted from advanced driver to instructor training. Set a new personal best lap time. Didn't break anything. A very good day all around.

Just changed the oil the other day! New motor now is at about 1100 miles and running strong. Will be changing plugs and compression testing at 2k miles on new motor! Fun fact, so far on the new motor, averaging 17.4mpg and 15.36mpg since ownership! Goto My thread for a picture of my gas log!

Took a 3-day 1100 mile road trip. 18mpg at 75mph.
Not the best road trip car - but fun nonetheless!

He started with some small performance upgrades (cold air intake, exhaust...) now he's working on the appearance. What you don't see in the pictures are the carbon fiber diffuser & trunk - really does look nice.

I have to say that I took your advice Jedi that you offer others on here and purchased the Zaino car polish kit - the results are amazing. The judges kept commenting how clean and mirror like finish the Mazda had...

(First place went to a Toyota Supra - go figure lol)

Parked this in the driveway behind her. She is really concerned about the older broad. But she shouldn't be. She still has her place in the garage, while the old chick is stuck outside. At least until the turbo goes in.






2003 LS with 5 speed and LSD. Only 63K miles. Carfax shows 1 owner and dealer service every 3K miles. Obviously garage-kept. Oddly has new Racing Beat dual tip catback. Body and interior are immaculate. Everything works. I feel like I stole it for $7200.
