Add a little boost to that KL DE too?
Then you got yourself a little street weapon!

well being that i'm not really all that interrested in any model before the BJ ( just because i'm not a massive fan of older cars except for old rolla's ) i like the bj and mazda 3 bk model just love that shape easyer to work on and better technology, so don't look in to the specs of the earlyer models,
and also never ever worked on one at work either thank god the I4 BA's and even the v6 626's are y paing in the butand i reackon this is the first one i've actually taken any noticed of because it's got sexy wheel on it and it's really tidy, so yes maybe rookie but i don't look in to things i'm not going to be interrested in/ going to own was that a good short answer essay???

More parts for the 4cyl. More parts for the V6. Easier turbo upgrade for 4cyl. Easy KL swap for the V6 and easy turbo swap onto that KL while you are at it. They have a greater aftermarket support for the BA even though its older :/ A fair bit available here is aus for them... And not as much of a pain in the ass with the Whole upgrade the ecu/ reflash. In saying that... Still prefer my BJ And Marc... The MPS rims wouldnt suit the BA as much as those CX7's do. Just such nice clean smooth lines

Just an update.
Slowly converting everything to LED. Just looks so much neater I think. Along with that around 2 weeks ago the water pump finally crapped itself so I did a mini overhaul. Changed; Timing Belt + Hydraulic Tensioner Water Pump All bearings in all pulleys Spark Plugs Spark Leads Fuel Filter Oil Filter Air Filter Oil Coolant Top Rad Hose Front and Rear Cam Cover Seals Just need to look into why the car is vibrating on acc, and seems hesitant when foot planted also. Pretty sure its going to be either engine mount or driveshaft for the vibration and dissy cap and rotor button causing hesitation. Also tinted the fog lights

A front lip/splitter and miniskirts. Looks great I think.
