That's the one. I had 2 calipers sieze up on me, and then I put another 1000k on em to get get back in town from the west coast. I have tried cleaning the wheels, but they are completely shot. Rust has eaten right into the clear coat. Either way, I have new gear for the back waiting to go on, and a Brembo big brake kit on its way for the front. When it's getting all that stuff put on, I am going to have the wheels sprayed gloss black. Wish I hadv'e decided on getting the brembos before I picked up a set of Hawk pads, now I have to sell em. Anyone interested?

I noticed you haven't driven the car in awhile, I jog/walk around everyday and yesterday i had a gawk at your car and seen how rusty the rotors were lol. I had one of my old rims fixed at custom wheels on empire ave, about $100 a wheel to make em look like brand new.
Mazda doing them for free so lol.
Sounds like a good reason lol
Not that i've heard lol. Bunch of slackers. go for a run one night the week?

Do you also have HID's and mazdaspeed stickers on the lower portion of the front bumper?
I usually go to both a&w's on Thursday, well swing by to see if its anything nice around. Not sure about tomorrow seeing its suppose to be a little snow lol
Well, got my Brembo kit put in, car is next slated for a coilover kit. Although won't be around for a run in the near future. I'm out on the west coast working. Hoping to get into St. John's mid-June. In the meantime, here's a couple pics so folks can recognize the car when I'm in town.

Oven cleaner... hahaha. They aren't bad looking from 15 feet away, but up close they are rough. I'm going to strip and repaint them tomorrow. Tint is comin' down the pipe too, but that is at least 6-7 items down on a long list of to-do's.
