Nice car.

What's so wrong with the King springs? We use them on the race cars and have never had a drama with them.

they're just not so good on the road with standard shocks... I don't like how it feels.

thanks guys.

I do have a stupid question to ask though.
So.. my hardtop has a demister.. my car has a plug for the wiring on the parcel shelf area... but... where's my button to turn it on?

LOL! DOH!
If you have the switch, it should be to the right of the steering column, next to the interior light dimmer knob. You probably have a switch-blank there right? There should be 3 places for switches, I have the demister and dimmer there, and my 1 switch-blank is occupied by my immobiliser's LED.

Not sure if it comes with the wiring for the switch, and all you need is install the switch itself.
Mazda is funny this way with wiring, they install things for better equipped cars on pretty much every model.
If you look under your seat, you'll find wiring for the seat's headrest speakers which you don't have :mrgreen:

haha..thanks Andrew.
I'll have a check of it today once I get home :).

The other night I was so excited to use the demister, since my rear window was fogging up, only to discover that I had no idea how to turn it on :S.

No worries Chris. Fingers crossed that the wiring under the dash exists, and all you need is the switch.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
