I hope you don't miss the side exhaust...
actually, i kinda do...with the twiggy cams, the car sounded like a v8 at idle after it warmed-up...i had people next to me turn their car off and stare at it while we were stopped at redlights. granted, you couldn't even hear the radio when it was actually moving...i enjoyed it. there's a magnaflow resonator attached to it.

I hope any passengers in the back seat on that side of the car missed it. Looks like it could be ankle biter/burner for them getting in or out over there. Still, cool ass ride. I'm checkin the cps strut bar & wonderin how cool mine coulda been with it had I decided to ditch or relocate the cruise control. Ditched/relocated the bar instead & went with gt spec stb. I'm sure the cps would work better for a car that might see track time. Mine won't.
...no one rode in my back seat...i was supposed to take the car back to the exhaust shop and they were going to slide that back a few inches...but, that was never to be.
the strut bar was one of the best mods i did...seriously. that thing made a HUGE difference. it's a shame no one makes them anymore.

FYI
The coil is now much more expensive.
$180.10 at www.onlinemazdaparts.com
$199.00 at www.napaonline.com
BUT
Rockauto has them for $54.79

My stock 2.0 ignition coils lasted 12 months. My 1.8 lasted two years.
Going from wanting to leave early due to the holiday to not going in at all.(burn)
yeah, not quite sure why they increased the prices...i paid $35 for the coils on my mp3 from the dealer...of course, i worked there...but the price shot up around a year later for some reason...perhaps these were released with a TSB and they made them cheap for a certain amount of time to give people the chance...and after the time was up, the price went up...

No, no timing issues. I have heard of someone recently in some thread here taking them out because of misfire related cel or some type of similar issue. Best to just stick with good ole NGK copper plugs, either standard BKRs or long reach ZFRs. Nothing else will gain you anything except a thinner wallet & possible problems.
