I've got one that I decided not to use collecting dust in the garage.....$40 shipped if you are interested.
Washed mine today.
Drove it in the morning out in the county after a rainstorm and got it filthy.
Then lowered it on Evotion springs... Turned out alright and took away the massive wheel gap. Much better.
Oh, and to top it off, I got massive air on accident going through an intersection way too quick. Pretty impressive haha!

Update on the last few months.
- Transmission is slipping. Automatics suck. Period. No matter what anyone tells you. It can't hold power while switching gears if near max boost. If all goes well with getting a job after graduation next year, a Lentech street terminator full transmission is going in as well as a forged engine.
- Finally fixed most of the big oil leak I was having for the last 6 months. Went through 10 quarts of oil in 6 months due to it.
- On radiator number 3. Thank you advance auto for lifetime warranty. This was after the last one sprung a leak. Found out that the main fan was unplugged (oops).
- Rear driver's side strut mount broke completely upon hitting a big pothole that the city of Columbus didn't feel like fixing for 3 weeks. Strut was moving freely in the back of the car. Fixed and waiting for verdict from claims court about getting reimbursed.
- Fixed huge boost leak i thought was a defective wastegate actuator. Ended up being a disconnected coupler.
- Installed Hella supertones today. Holy s*** are they loud.
- Miss the Mazda community. A lot. School is taking up all my time.

so i was driving my car the other day, and ive had this problem for a while but never mentioned it,
whenever i drive really hard, like floor it, my car will smell horrible when i come to a stop at a light or something, its a really strong oil burning smell, and its coming from my engine bay
the other day the smoke from the oil burning was actually coming through the vents lol it smelled so bad
pretty sure its a bad gasket at the oil drain flange, since there is oil all around there and the DP has like oil residue from where it burned off...man these ****** things just keep comin up
so im about to order a new gasket, and new AN fittings, some 90 degree pushlock ones, this time im going to make sure that i use teflon tape on all the threads
the smell is so bad, i know its the oil, but for some reason, it smells exactly like when i was baking my manifold right after i painted it...so it could be the bad paint burning off of the mani
sometimes this car pisses me off so much because the little things always **** up
