I made some custom door cards. I bought some MDF and cut it to shape, covered it in foam for padding, and then glued fabric on it. The blue straps cost me $1 per side, and I used the metal covers from the handle on my old Bass amp.
I got a BD bar
which allowed me to rock a Bikini Top from Project-G (brilliant guys to deal with, would buy from again)
On a photoshoot at Doncaster Westfield, we tried to fit as many people in and on my car as possible. We got 5. Pretty slammed at the back!
The low got me interested on having it on a more permanent basis, so I got these from Shox.com (great customer service, phenomenal price)
and these from Rupewrecht (my JDM supplier of choice)
and these from FatCat Motorsports (great customer service, not the cheapest of products, but incredibly well crafted)
which after doing this (with the help of Pamex and his_kansei)
lead to this.
I wanted even more toggle switches in my car, so I made this;
which after installing;
looks like this;
Rupe brought in a 340mm Mazdaspeed D-cut, which I immediately and impulsively bought
He also imported me a set of Mazdaspeed MS-01s wheels (15x6.5 +35 at 4.3kg a corner)
which look like this;
I also got a muffler from an exhaust shop put on, just as something a bit more audible than the stock job. It's a bit raspy for my taste, so I want to get something smoother.
THINGS STILL TO COME:
-Better muffler (corns)
-RS Factory Stage ducktail spoiler
-NA8 style rear beaver cover (the panel which holds the rego plate on), probably from mr pham
-better window control switches, like what the NB and NC have (one touch power windows)
-Mazdapseed front bumper
-new soft top with glass
-better seats (lotus elise seats are very tempting)
-gauge faces from Revlimiter.net
-(maybe) iPad based information/entertainment unit (to control lighting, windows, music, and to display diagnostics)
Eventually, I'll put the motor in the hands of wozzah to build up. I'm planning on reaching ~100rwkw while still having a comfortable, reliable daily drive. So much stuff, so little money do it all with!
