Hahaha thanks guys! Yeah its been a little bit of a hiatus for me as I have been busy with other stuff in life.
However, the 96-BRG is alive and doing very well. Have a few plans for it this year....but in more exciting news, I may or may not have bought another NA.
This one is a car that I actually helped my friend purchase when he was looking for one. He has decided to move on and given how clean it was, I couldn't pass up the opportunity.
It's a '95 model NA8, zero modifications and completely 100% stock. My plan with this is to go the route of the Japan Restoration program, where they take every nut, bolt, rubber moulding, etc everything back to brand new using OEM mazda parts. Only thing I would change would be the headers (already have a set ready to go, maxim works) and catback (oem NOS mazdaspeed from Yahoo Japan). Aside from that, the rest will be completely 100% original.
