    October ROTM Jho

    Congratulation JHo for being voted Octobers Rotm. Even though it's a beater it sure does deserve the vote.

    I picked it up last winter on craigslist for $1200, completely stock, 140K. I bought it off of a girl who had just moved up here from Texas. She bought it brand new back in '94, so I'm the second owner. It has plenty of dents and scratches, but it also has of the cleanest, most rust free bodies that I've ever seen.

    I've put a lot of work into it, and brought it back to perfect mechanical condition.

    Anyways, here's what I have done to it so far:

    Engine modifications

    * Ryan's cut manifold
    * Black powdercoated valve cover
    * Custom cold air intake
    * Pacesetter 4-2-1 header
    * 2.25" mandrel bent custom exhaust
    * Aluminum 2 row radiator
    * A/C, C/C, and charcoal canister delete

    Drivetrain Modifications

    * Custom short throw shifter
    * ES poly urethane motor mount inserts
    * CS SS braided clutch line
    * Redline MT-90

    Suspension Modifications

    * Tokico ZX2 S/R Struts
    * Ground Control coilover sleeve kit
    * Mazdaspeed upper strut mounts
    * Off The Line Motorsports tie bars

    Brakes

    * 3rd gen front/1st gen rear Brembo blank rotors, painted black
    * Axxis Ultimate pads
    * CS SS braided brake lines
    * Rebuilt, sandblasted, and painted black calipers

    Interior Modifications

    * MX-3 front leather seats
    * MX-3 rear seats
    * MX-3 leather shift boot
    * EDM rear deck panel(3rd brake light delete)
    * Canadian manual seatbelts
    * 18% front/30% rear metalized tint

    Exterior Modifications

    * GTX sedan front bumper
    * JDM grille
    * EDM glass headlights
    * JDM corners
    * Mercury Tracer glass sunroof panel
    * Front and rear mudflaps
    * Emblems/decals/door moldings delete

    Wheels/Tires

    * Nippon F-2 Racing 15" x 6.5" rims
    * 205/50/15 Kumho Ecsta tires

    Coming soon!

    * EGT side skirts
    * Poly urethane suspension bushings
    * GTR clutch and flywheel


    I'm going to paint the front bumper someday too.
