    new pics :D

    well, i took some pictures today of the new ride. it's a 1988 Mazda 323 GTX. After some basic tuning up, this car runs very well. I had the coolant flushed since it was dark brown when I got it, had the oil changed, and had the rear brakes done. Yesterday I cleaned the k&n panel that's in it, which looks like it hadnt been cleaned in years. Also today I pulled the sparkplugs, which were all nasty as hell. It runs a lot smoother and revs free'er.


    the '88 and the '00 ;D beauty and the beast? :D:D:D:D




    bangin' ass stereo system yo'!

                      well, the car actually runs awesome now that i have it. the previous owner didn't take care of it for **** from what i found out after purchase. coolant hadnt been changed since he owned it probably, it was dirty dirty brown. the k&n panel he had in it, hadnt been cleaned in the same ammount of time probably. same with the plugs. v-power plugs that were almost v-less at this point. ;D when i cleaned the filter, it starting hesitating really bad. well, thats because the ****ty plugs were doing just good enough with the ****ty air they were getting. so, new plugs made it run perfecto. vacuum'd and scrubbed the interior, looks good now. the handling could actually be better imho. on a little bit of ice today, i think the pro handles better. it needs some suspension work all in due time. new exhaust, and a cone filter atleast wil throw it a little power. its quick though for only 130 hp!
