I like the B&M shift knob. I'm an Old School HotRodder. It looks out of place, but I like it!

Is that Gold a custom color? Stock color? Mazda color?

It started off as elegant beige metalic but its been resprayed atleast twice from what I can tell. When I picked it up in florida it had two distinct paint lines in the door jam so Im thinking this is as close as the shop could get. Personally Ild like to respray it a gunmetal/dark silver color.

So interesting thing today while I was on a drive for lunch, my seatbelt track threaded out :( I stopped by the local mazda dealer to see if theyll fix it for me so I dont have to hack into the parts car but I cant get an answear till monday. They said they have to call the recal in to get it approved since it was checked out in '98 but heres hoping for the best!

Finally got my baby back with a shiny new seat belt. Funny thing the dealer tried to tell me I needed a new dome switch and latch to make it work but it would be out of pocket for me for him to finish. Yet it was miraculously working when I picked it up after declining the additional repairs...

Anyhow I feel bad if anyone has a 99 626 4banger after they put me in that for the 2 days, poor thing couldnt get out of its own way :(

So new update, hopefully Ill have a new body kit for the spring (ty aaron) And I wont have to look at my poor bumper without its lip anymore. Now the hard part is going to be deciding what color to go with.

So sadly after a quick trip around the woods and some help test fiting the kit (ty to aaron :) ) I decided to forgo the body kit for the sakes of ground clearance.

It did look nice though, but im afraid the first back road would kill it :(

However we did swap a few bits so hopefully Ill get a az3 bumper to go with the vader sides I got since noone can find the factory ones
