Nice pics!  :good: Not a Mazda fan really, but quite good looking cars all.  :drool:

On a side note, who the hell has 56k anyway these days. :D

I love the combination of colours (or should I say absence?) in the underground parking! :)

Thanks,

It was mere happenstance all cars were silver, that was the first time I had met the two other mazda owners :)

Added some goodies under the hood.
Installed the gauges I cant sell in my glove box with a custom bracket.
Installed a Canton Accusump
Moved the intake/air filter from the driver side to the passenger side because of the Canton
made an aluminum bracket and mounted my fan override switch and relay, and heavier duty fuel pump wiring.

The engine is pretty much stock, other than the intake/timing/etc
I added the accusump for reliability since i drive the car so hard.
Once I get the struts I want to match my springs and a couple other small suspension peices I will start with the power. Luckily having owned so many of these I know exactly what to do for power (my previous miata demonstrated that - 600+rwhp)

I will be aiming for 400 or so at the tires.

I need to take some incar video.
The intake noise I get outta this thing makes it sound like it has 400hp. It is the loudest intake I have ever heard!

So it sounds like a little monster
(oddly enough I call my ankle mauling wire chewing bastard of a furball cat Little F*in Monster lol)
