I've always wanted a set and these came up for the right price, €750 total which was cheap. They're 7" wide and the offset is +38 so they're almost perfect for the familia. Ill wait and see what they look like on the car first but I was thinking about fully matt gunmetal gray.

those are awesome looking!!
I replaced the fuel lines off the sending unit, replaced the sending unit/gas tank seal, fixed my clutch switch (wonky a/f ratio with the pedal up) and scared my sister going for a test drive LOL
Also checked/set the timing/tps/iac on a friends built KLZE Protege5...thing felt like a DE in he beginning...but after setting the tps properly (other sensor values were good)...the car REALLY came to life...colt cams, ported heads, ported intake, pacesetters blah blah blah...I wasn't expecting that much of a difference lol kinda scared me!-Jack

Speaking on that subject, I'm looking into alternatives for CMC's with built-in reservoirs. I happen to have an ABS specific 89 probe GT CMC with its own reservoir that looks like its going to work when I swap in my KL... I'll have to bend new lines from the CMC to the BG flex line, but I think it'll work pretty slick. I hate the shared reservoir design of the BG's. That feed line is ****, and it'll be nice to diagnose the fluids independently once done.Current:

My experience isn't with the line itself, but the fitting they use on the CMC that either sucks in air, or just pisses out fluid LOL.
Most Mazda's are interchangeable in that aspect tho, 2 bolt ftw! So it should swap over with only minor modifications (maybe the push rod length/adjustment)-Jack

That's the best combo. I ran that setup on my old pony after the original master cylinder went out and I had an eg civic clutch master cylinder on the shelf from an old project. (hydraulic handbrake setup that I had on an old crown vic i played around with for a few weeks. Then it's transmission failed and I removed the handbrake setup.)My family has lots of bg's!

meh, I could swap to an external reservoir easily, but it still doesn't fix the fitting at the CMC from leaking lol.
Swapped my OEM chrome lug nuts on today, and started stripping the paint off the wheels with some heavy uty goo-gone...slow process lol.
Also installed the two missing bolts for my intake plenum...and well the boost leak is gone now haha. I was just hoping it would work, not expecting it to! Saved me a few hours!
Then detailed the engine bay and went for a drive.-Jack
