I don't feel like driving mine for a week or so after getting 2 tickets in it last week. lol One of the Silverstars burned out Wednesday night, and the car needs an oil change bad(I haven't done one to it yet since I bought it from my dad over a year ago...I've put a little over 3K miles on it and my dad didn't put a sticker in it from the last oil change nor does he remember when that was). I bought oil for it Friday and will be doing that some time this week. I also have to get the Tracer rear seat bottom in the car and probably install the seat belts in the back again. And I really really need to wash the car at work, it's well salted from the snow storm last week.
Yeah i stopped using the silverstars for that reason... they burn out way too quick.

I got mine from my brother who used them in his MX-6 for a while. I like em, they're great with the brand new Mazda headlights I got from that guy on Mazda323Performance.com for $48 or something.
I drove and injoyed my BF. I love boosting by ppl who dont have a clue about the car. Also due for an oil change, but by only 4 months into it, and i use Full Synthetic, so its got a 5 month lifespan. In a week from this tuesday, ile hopefully be getting my Front brakes replace/upgraded, as well as replacing my front swaybar bushings. Then its on to the rear brakes, and then all my motor/trans mounts.

Yeah sometimes you get lucky and get a good set.. most times.. not.

...workin on getting my air dam on, but i still need to wheel out our jack.
Yeah, its a 4 ton, get that! Its not the easiest thing to menouver.
Ile post pics our so a lil later if i get it on.
I did the much needed oil change...had forgotten that the B6 only holds ~3 quarts instead of the 4.3 of the BP so now I got a lot left. Also tightened up the metal heat shield that was loose, bend the lower valence back to where it's supposed to be, and then washed it/cleaned the wheels/door jams...I kinda like going up to the dealership when I'm not working and doing stuff. I'd rather do it while I'm getting paid but oh well.
Well I went to a junkyard today...they had a red '88 323 hatch, nothing good really, and a black '93 Protege LX, nothing really good either. I got nothin'. My brother said they had 2 or 3 BFs there so that's why I went, looking for an '86-'87 hatch for the rear seat belts and speaker covers, so my interior would be complete.
Then I went out to the valley here where I took some pics of the 323, they can be seen in my thread in the Photo section.
Then I got home and put the Tracer seat bottom in. I don't know, I don't really like the seat bottom in there because I like the flat-ness of the seats folded down and the bottom doesn't let them go flat. Plus when the Tracer seat backs fold down they bunch up at the bottom corners...I gotta fix that and possibly modify the seat bottom so that it's lower. I can cut the foam and bend the frame/latches so might be able to get it low enough for my likings.
