Hi! I love my Shinka! Here's some photos to share with other Shinka lovers - enjoy! Got my windows tinted about a month ago - I can say that my car is hot! Will upload more photos when I get some new pics of tinted car.

the white sticker says "Mazdatrix"
I gave them some props cuz they were the only ones that could get me the appearance pkg stuff in black cherry long before the dealer could supply...

the spoiler is an MS style CF that I got from rotary extreme

the clear corners are about the same price anywhere ya go...i think i got mine from mazdaparts.com

good luck with your modding...once you start, you cant stop!!

Already got the clear corners and strakes - just gotta have my bf install them for me. I want to get some awesome wheels though...I was thinking the wheels on the mazda Kabura concept would be kickass! Too bad they're not available!

That's kool! I admire women who can do things on their own. My man's a car guy and has moded his Audi TT - he's the one that ordered got the mods for my car. He travels alot so, when he's home - he works on his car and will work on mine too. He also has an S2000 - but probably won't mod it out like he did his TT. So... I leave the car stuff to him - it keeps him busy and out of trouble.

On a seperate note - have you taken yours to an autocross event yet? I want to take mine, but I'm not quite sure if I can just show up w/helmet and money to pay for registration or if I'm suppose to be a member of SCCA...any advice?

rxpaetgrl, I am autocrossing this season (see pics in previous post here). My local SCCA region put on a driving school that I went to. It was great for answering all of my newbie questions. It looks like you are in SCCA's central Florida region. Check out their Web site. Check out the Novice Handbook. It looks like they have practice days as well, and I am willing to bet that one of their woman members might mentor you. Here in my region, you only need a helmet and admission fee, but it helped a great deal to have help. Good luck, you'll have a blast and learn a lot about how you car handles!

Hey all,

I found this while surfing. It is the Japanese Web mini site for the Sport Prestige Limited, a.k.a., Shinka.

And...

I found this on eBay. It is a Japanese model of the Sport Prestige Limited. I picked one up at the Mazda Museum, and I can say it is pretty cool. And it is pre-painted Black Cherry Mica. I am looking forward to building it since I have not assembled a model in years.
