this is the last picture Jordan took of it before i bought it
my vision for the car is similar to Jordans, first and foremost i plan on keeping it clean. my first major mods to it will be to remove his coil overs and install some H&R springs to raise the ride height and soften it up a tiny bit. down the road i hope to get a mazdaspeed bumper, rear hatch shade, rs raised spoiler and some kind of rear lip. but for now the car is going to stay in its current state for a while. i also plan on doing quite a bit of maintenance over the next 6 months or so. not that the car needs it but i want to get it as close to new as possible.
today was a beautiful day so i took the car on a nice 200km drive up to Squamish and snapped a couple pics to share.
as the car sits the only major problems im having with it is getting it to pass emissions testing. so far ive tried:
new disty cap/rotor
plug wires
smaller oem exhaust
larger 2.25" cat
guaranteed to pass
i didnt completely burn all the guaranteed to pass s--- off before i went for my test which is what im thinking caused me to fail. i have new o2 sensors coming in the mail im hoping will do the trick. if it still fails im going to have to "move" out of the city and register my insurance at a friends place a couple hours away where its not required.
