muffler with twin tips looks very sexy.
the bodywork is in reall good shape! the sedan has heaps of space under the boot compared to a hatch. my timing is somewhere around 15-17 BTDC. it is right on the limit and is a little poo poo at low rpms. love the look of the rear pod thingos. never really did before. but they are growing on me. might have to get some since i got a front lip. needs (only cos i am a annoying opinioned d@#k):- flying M mazda badges. metal bit on front lip painted. clear side indicators, the smoked looks out of place. moar!!! camber!!!

This type of Mazda badge:-
I believe the current badge is the Eunos logo. |

in sept 97, the badges on BAs went from the old style to the current style. bonus is that there are current style badges available for BAs if you have a 94-97 model. |

So I spent the last two days pulling my car to bits.. There is nothing left inside her except the dash.. I also did a couple of jobs while I had everything out.
- I rewired the front door eclipse 6 inch splits speakers - I wired in some eclipse 6's speakers in the rear doors - installed some eclipse 6-9s in the rear parsel shelf - ran the power cables for the battery relocation to the boot - got my tinting removed and installed some brand new tint ( looks 100x better) - installed my new intake pipe (thanks Cosmo from may somebody ) The car is still in pieces ATM will be reinstalling the carpet tomorrow and the seats if I finish work on time Also have my new shifter boot and hand brake boots to install too.
