Ooh Believe me I have had my eye on that, but if i acquire it I will also acquire no money. I have a go fund me going for the car just to help me afford some more expensive interior bits that arent in my budget.

and i'm doing all this on a college budget (Im close to getting my bachelors in mechanical engineering.)so everything counts and is going to a great cause.
The interior goodies are arriving!!
First on deck not sure if i want to use it much but its another eBay find. A super duper clean Perforated Mazdaspeed Shift knob. Featured in side my 97 "The Daily"

Next is the best $50 dollars i've ever spent. A Very clean scratch free center console. Also the rarest part of this post is my still functional VHS player from the late 90s.

I had to do an insane amount of rewiring and all my electrical engineering skills were tested. I had tons of wires for the radio, TEIN edfcs, and I'm being serious 5 aux jacks, which I deleted and narrowed down to 1. Japan loves there wires.

Also here is the custom center console, would be cool in a track car.
and here is the fancy pic of everything done.

Out with the old and in with the "New".
Many months ago before I even thought of getting an Eunos i bought a near perfect condition HKS Silent highpower. I can now finally install it because the 1.6 doesn't have that second O2 sensor. And my goodness this tip is Phat.

The exhaust hangs pretty low because 1) the right side rear exhaust hanger is aftermarket and 2) im missing the right side front exhaust hangar. but i took it for a drive and doesn't rub on anything surprisingly.
I did take a quick video of the car revving. revving and driving are 2 different noises I will try to get a video of this exhaust in action. While driving it sounds like a 350z and a low liter Japanese V8 had a quiet child sounds super refined and sounds very racer car with its little pops on every upshift and downshift.
My full exhaust setup is a Mazdaspeed header, SARD Cat, and the HKS Silent hipower from the cat back.

So this is very fitting for winter but i live in Miami so i should say the weeks worth of cool weather. I found a MazdaSpeed Jacket thanks to Lecreamshop.com

It is a tad bigger than I am but it feels great for a jacket so i don't mind it.

Its really light for a jacket yet has a good amount of layers too it, this weekend im going to north Florida so should feel cooler and i will give my review when i get back. and as a bonus came with a BIC lighter hidden in an inside pocket.

Here's me looking like a lunatic because i was so excited. I wore it for like 2 hours.

Only time you need a Jacket in Florida is when you open the refrigerator.
That Jacket is killer though.

north florida, must be like 85 degrees there instead of 90

The Eunos is getting more stuff!
I found a New 1.6 Chrome Valve with the original box. Thanks to Roadster_parts on Instagram. Does show a little age but for the price it was definitely worth it.

These are actually leftovers from the M2-1001 and 1002 cars. Nice find. They are triple plated chrome if I remember correctly
I have one on my Miata now, and an extra that I plan to mount on my wall as artwork LOL

It would be some unique art work.
