A random mix but anyways...
First pic
The first attached picture shows my current drop with the JIC coilovers. You can also see the overlay on the side marker... no more nasty orange thanks to Andy from bluebatmobile. I'm contemplating painting the front Mazda emblem black and want to ditch the front plate, but fear the police (five-0)
I adjusted it so the front and rear are similar in height. Hopefully that keeps the
stock "feel." I measured from the lip to the fender. Since I rolled the fenders (only the rears, lazy), I could drop it more. I may drop it a tiny bit. Pretty soon I'll be in the "can't fit jack under car" territory.
Second and third pic
Finally got around to installing my Scosche dash kit. Much more solid than the Metra one so hopefully it won't break. I made a bracket that attaches the pocket to my CD player which seems to help it stop wiggling and makes it stronger.
Fourth pic
Again, the side marker overlay from bluebatmobile. The second one is always easier to put on... I think I'm going to start ordering two sets at a time
OBX header pics click here foo
A couple pics of the OBX header. You can see the fun EGR valve, CEL fix with spark plug non-foulers, and the header... duh. In one pic you can see that the O2 wire hit the header. I fixed that by wire tying it to the hose closest to the camera. After driving around for a day, I went back and retightened every bolt. I didn't go nuts on the header bolts... just shy of 20lbs/ft seemed like PLENTY.
As for performance and sound, I'm digging it. The sound is subtly different, probably due to my stock exhaust. It sounds excellent though. The power does seem a little better, noticeably in the top end. Throttle response is nice too
So there it is folks! Sometime in the near future, I will get some good pictures of it, aka not in the driveway with crappy lighting.
Thanks for looking...
