That engine bay is super clean!

Sorry if I missed it in a previous post - what are your plans for the suspension?

 

[njaremka]

aw man, you ruined it with the stickers! of course, with the speed3 guts, it makes up for it.

 

[d-machine]

WOW...I'm constantly amazed at how fast and how smooth this monster project is coming together...Major Props to Eric & the AUTOBARN MAZDA Team for putting together this awesome "ZOOM ZOOM" creation and for sharing the build with the Mazda Forums Community! (2thumbs)

Love the "MAZDASPEED5" touch! (thumb)

It would be a great honor to have Mazdas247.com Decals on the "MAZDASPEED5"!
