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!!!

I believe the current badge is the Eunos logo.

Nah, just the mid 90s one. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda#Emblems

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.

I'm keen to take photo's. I'm always willing to do free ones to test out new things. Maybe could have a QLD photography day haha.

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 :)
