Starting off small with my updates.
I will soon be tackling:
moon-roof,
break calipers,
muffler,
manual seat belts,
and Mazda 3 front seats
(Planning engine swap for sometime in the fall! )

Nice SE. I like it.

Whaaaaaaa!!! Keep it stock.....

Boooo!!!! Stock is boring!

And what do you mean about sunroof in the first post? Need replacing?

My sunroof is bent so it takes some help opening and closing!
I love it stock, but I want it faster!
I did manage to get my new muffler today, not sure if any of you noticed the 4 cylinder muffler on my V6. The guy I got it from just put it on the day I bought it. So this morning I went and got the stock one! It sounds muuuuch better now!

The stock v6 muffler sounds awesome. So are the Mazda 3 seats essentially bolt in? I've been looking at replacing my front seats since they are kinda uncomfortable.

I am sure Blake has enough parts laying around he could throw in some cams, headers, and a new intake mani in the meantime.... until your engine swap of course... very clean car!

the stock muffler sounds like a qeef IMO

But yeah dude sweet SE. Good choice on the tails and headlights. I think they update the car styling a tad

Hahaha maybe mine is a little leaky or something, because I've got a nice growl/vroom sound going on

You guys need to throw a straight through exhaust on, that sounds the best especially on the 1.8L V6.

Actually - KLZE and an LSD gearbox = approved.

The exhaust I had on the old car was perfect for the KLZE - improvised - but perfect. OBX headers, no cat, a resonator, and (get this) a muffler from one side of a dual exhaust stock Mustang GT. Quiet when it should be, good presence when it was wanted to be!!

The mazda3 seats don't just bolt in, unfortunately.
With the 4 cylinder muffler on it you couldn't hardly hear the car at all.
I don't have a cat, but the place I went didn't give two sh*ts they installed the muffler anyways.
When I test drove the car before I bought it there was no muffler at all and although it sounded really good, I would have gotten way too many tickets!

Little bit of an update, I painted my calipers finally, and I got a new muffler.

Really liking your car... Clean!! Keep up the nice work! I love the sound of the v6... I had a pacesetter catback on my probe 2.5 and loved it..

Thanks! I still have plenty of things on my "to do" list that I'll be working on in the next few weeks!
