Story
So, what happened was...LOL :P

I bought this car a little over a year ago. It was originally turbo'd with a "blown" motor. I was able to get it running, but it ended up blowing a few months later regardless. Unfortunately, I had to part out with the turbo stuff in order to afford a new motor. I had the new Madza OEM reman'd motor installed by Mazdatrix for $3,900 total. They apparently forgot to flash the ECU back to stock for the new motor, so that brand new motor blew at only ~1,000 miles or so. They wouldn't warranty their work, so I had to bring it to a local dealership instead.

$3,200 later - I had another OEM reman'd motor installed by John Hine Mazda here in San Diego. The motor is warrantied for 1 year/12,000 miles. Some factory emissions parts were also re-installed, and I had some additional parts replaced that were worn, like the motor mounts.

Bottom Line
Basically, although the car looks great now and runs great, it just isn't what I need right now. My wife is 34 weeks pregnant and I basically just need something more practical.

The "Bads"
- The replica Mazdaspeed bumper doesn't fit up that great. It's urethane at least, so it's nice and flexible...but still, it just doesn't line up perfectly.
- Paint is about a 7/10. Just various nicks/scratches and a small area of oxidized paint around the trunk/rear-windshield.
- Small area of oxidized paint on passenger side by the rear windshield/trunk.
