Fairly. Hey that's something I can write a how-to for.. just left myself a reminder. I should have it up tonight, I gotta go into the garage to change my front sway bar bushings anyway.

 

Very much so. You just have to shave off a little bit of the M6 wiper to make it hook up right. Total cost is $30 or so from www.onlinemazdaparts.com

Part numbers needed:
Blade- G21B67330 MSRP-17.50 Website-14.00
Arm- GM9E67421 MSRP-23.00 Website-18.40
Cover- GM9E67395 MSRP-1.25 Website-1.00

Make sure to get all three from them right away, cuz the blade is impossible to find anywhere else. It's a special Mazda product so you'll have to get them from Mazda every time if you make the switch.

 

i took it autox racing...

 

How'd it go? Got pics?

 

omg me too

twas the FLR-SCCA novice school. It was a blast! The slalom course was amazing fun, they said I had the tightest line on it all day

 

quite hard to get pics.. you're either driving, working the course, or .. back to driving and stuff :P

There's another event tomorrow but I can't go.. studying has to come first sooome time.

 

52.5 - middle of the pack? i guess

 

I took some before pictures. My comp is still in between moves. So its up in TN.
But I figured for my own sake, I'd take pics along the way. Been asking folks
around here for bits of info on what to do with the car and such.

Plans :

Bend/Hammer Out dents. If not possible, gonna replace Hood/Passenger Fender

Replace Alternator / Radiator.

Paint car : I Know a few folks, one of which has a real nice gun. I've got a
compresor and an empty garage and too much free time. Sanding/Gel-ing the
current paint off while im taking pieces off. Going to repaint a nice black.

Spruce up the insides. CAI, Maybe mess with the exhaust some. Give her a little
extra kick. But thats a bit in the future.

 

I didn't get to run my normal number (323) today, they did the numbering to group the novices into 5 groups.. a 4wd group, a rwd group, a low power fwd group, a massive sedan (grand prix gtp) group, and a "very high power" fwd group (yay they put me in that group, I guess the HKS SSQV throughout the last event let the cat out of the bag). Last event (first of the season, two weekends ago), the first instructor that went in my car.. and I quote "oh jesus!" when the turbo kicked in :P

 

Me? Sure.

So far, the FD has:
-Zeal B2 coilovers
-Petit AST
-Petit ECU
-ARC SMIC with Samco I/C hoses
JIC STB in front, stockie in the rear (Harness bar soon to come)
-Efini (99 Spec) Y-Pipe
-Peter Ferrel exhaust
-Downpipe
-Cheap Bastard intake
-Enkei RPF1s wrapped in BFG KDW2s
-Some audio stuff

 

Thank you KF, very cool mod. Did you swap out the Tribute sprayers as well?

 

This is nice, with more traffic here. Since owning this Mazda, I've really noticed that a lot of Mazda owners do the AutoX thing.

 

Thats the color I would get if I can ever upgrade to the racey Mazda, beautiful car.

 

TEINS ON!!! yes!!!!! Got them about 2 weeks ago after waiting for Tein to get new shipment - backorder was 6 weeks! Looks awesome sitting on my 17's - pics to follow in the photo section in a couple of days. Can't wait to drive it - endlinks are not on yet have to order new ones - mechanic was challenged even with air tools today, but they finally succumbed to defeat.

 

I listened to my shifter. It started squeaking today , so I'll have to take it all apart again (installed the MSP shifter two weeks ago) and grease it up. The ball joint seemed to have enough grease on it but i guess I was wrong.
