Looks wicked man! Loving the centre caps.

Seriously... Hats off for effort. Although you used rattle cans... You did it properly, looks mint. Top stuff.

I like the dark blue more every time I see it! Rims look swish too. Might have to pick up one of those grilles as well.

i thought about it, but practically everything is going to be going black anyway, so it won't look funny

it's nuts hey!
all agt members who do not want to spend money, i advise you not talk to HAIGHIE about possible upgrades.
he knows his stuff too well!

going slots all round, i've been looking at damper adjustable KYB's, seeing as i'm beggining to get the ol' body roll back. probably a wholesale rear swaybar and adjustable endlinks, front strut brace for now, and maybe LCA brace then i'll talk to andy again and he'll talk me into something else

Soooo ummmmm guess who makes andy spend money....
Hehehehehehehe

But just saying... If your already getting new rotors... Spend the extra 100-150 and get the Mazda 6 front callipers.
Once you do that suspension upgrade... You will thank me

Duhhhhhh your still 4 stud :/
But check out shaleys build. He did a mazda6 calliper with mx5 4stud rotors.
Worth the extra $100 now.

Should head out my way one weekend with andy and will take you for a little run down the local pass that we did. One way down hill road. You will go home and order your suspension stuff after that

Should be a pic in my build thread back a few pages.
They clear the stock 16's by a few mm. Plenty of room!

My suspension setup is not the greatest... I would prefer some tokico shocks along with the autoexe bracing kit. But bang for buck wise and with daily ride comfort I am pretty damn happy! Lol

Should come up with andy in a couple of weekends time.
Would be happy to take you for a drive... Especially if that's what you are going to be spending your money on.

Want to at least know what it's going to drive like before u spend $$$$
