My question more was what have others done to their cars, and what they think is of higher importance in order of upgrades etc.

clear corners if you wanna get rid of the orange sidemarkers in the front!

cat back exhaust if you want your 8 to sound a bit meaner

if you are getting wheels, you should probably lower your 8 with springs/coilovers! it will look much better overall ;]

ON

Bought a few weeks ago, Mazdas putting in a new engine as we speak. Not sure on what color rims to have, and haven't decided on clear corners or the stealth corners yet.

I asked them to do a compression test before buying it. They did it cold so it came out better than it actually was. Drove it off the lot. It died an hour later so I took it back and they took it overnight, did some more testing and Mazda Canada came back and said it needs a new motor, so it is at their cost now not mine as they did the test wrong in the first place. Lol I'll take it though, kinda happy it died within the first 2 days otherwise it wouldn't have been covered and it would have went through either third party warranty or at my cost. They're really accommodating at Scarboro, always willing to help, gave me a loaner and everything, and they're asking Mazda Canada to help them put some more new parts in with the engine as well.
