My beater 323 wagon

Zoom Zoom Boom X 3
286,000 miles. The racing stripe is what gives this car all it's get up and go since it added about 50% more HP to the B6 motor. I mean...it runs the whole length of the car!! Gone are the stock steelies and in it's place I installed some uber trick 1st Gen RX-7 GSL-SE rims wrapped in Falken rubber. To keep me firmly planted in front of the steering wheel under the high G forces that this car is capable of I swapped in a pair of MX-3 standard issue Recaro seats and "Powered by Mazda" seatbelt pads. The next mod will definitely be a trick body kit from Home Depot's landscape molding department.

I was going to install 2 stripes side by side down the middle of the car, but I found out that the weight of the second stripe upset the overall corner balance since I usually keep a strategic amount of garbage in the passenger floorboard.

mmm, is that dent on the drivers side fender for aerodynamic purposes to? trick

That was already there when I purchased the car. I'm pretty sure the previous owner knew what he was doing.
 
wow...i'll give you $10,000 for it, a true diamond in the rough.

Be careful, though. If you use too much nos you might blow the welds on the floorboard and get a ticket for littering.

Back from the dead.

So I've had to do a ton of work on the car in the last few weeks. I'm trying to get it saftey inspected and my normal inspection guy who didn't care lost his license. Now everything has to be perfect. I'm leaving right now to replace the wornout steering rack with one out of a salvage car. While I had the car on the jackstands I dropped the shocks out. I figured that with the 5-6 extra coilover sleeves/springs/parts I could fab up a custom coilover kit for the Wagon. After a little head scratching I got it all back together and she is at least 2 inches lower now. pictures will be coming later tonight if I can get back over to the garage before dark. I also removed all the old purpley tint so the car looks much cleaner all around now. She almost tucks the front tires and I installed camber bolts on the front spindles to get rid of the positive stock camber.
