To rice OR not to rice that is the question ?

Stick with the standard early '96 badges - Upgrade to the new "flying" M ?

Or....

Forgot to mention that I picked up the 4 x BRAND NEW Bridgestone 530z's for only $80!
These were originally $880
Though it was nearly a 3hr round trip to acquire them..

The Mazda gods have really been smiling at me since I bought Asty

Give me another month or 2 & 'Asty' could end up on a Magazine cover

The throttle pictured is different from you current one in the car. What is the plan?

Nothing set in concrete yet but thinking supercharger + a correct air inlet through the bonnet (ala XW GTHO) and a tougher gearbox.
No wanna bigga badda boom !
