Put a B6 manifold gasket on my B3 carby intake and discovered there's a lot of hogging to do to port match that sucker.........:-|

The front when I redid it would have normally cost 300$ But since the shop I'm with works with ihatestickers.com for wraps and stuff as a side gig from tattooing, I got them all for free.
People would think I've got hells worth of money in the stickers, But the truth is: I'm a cheapskate. Haha. If It's free, I'm all over it.
The only money I put into the car is mechanical and body (dents and stuff) and tires and wheels. Because id rather have a comfy ans safe ride I dont care how distasteful my car is to others, It's me. It's mine. It suits Me. Nuff said.
Oh, also I nabbed the big ass Mazda badge from the back of that Rx7 and Just installed it. Be jelly.

Started painting my brakes drums red with caliper paint, and re-coating my wheels with gloss black paint.
Also tidying up the lug-bolts, gave them a light layer of paint just so they were not that ugly rust color.Last edited by TorqueEffect; 06-24-2013, 07:46 PM.

The shifter had fallen through the floor, the carpets didn't have an inch of clean space, the engine looked like it sprayed a crap load of oil ALL over A/C parts and firewall.
Poor festiva.

I think I will just find a nice gloss black paint, and paint my wheels again. I need to paint my new rear wiper anyway.
Also I was going to get the fender, but then I noticed that the GLs had that stylized crease down the side, so it wouldn't have looked right with my 91' L.
Also there is no additional wiring needed for the rear wiper, the L models have the connector. Though I have yet to check to see if the washer bottle plug is there, my guess it is, no sense in wasting money on making separate wiring looms for different trim models.
