Nice EP3.

One question, why are you running with the number plate in the window when you haven't cut a chunk out of the number plate recess for more airflow?

It began to fall off on the trip, all back on now

My Mazda 323 GTX, I've owned it for 15 years and slowly modded it, I use it for sprints and hill climb events now and it was dyno'd the other day at 382bhp.

Like that lots, my first GTX was black with a GT-R Bonnet, I have a pic somewhere what was the original reg?? you never know

A bit like Mike Tyson. Not the World champ anymore but you'd think twice about trying your luck.

Me and a group of mates went to Scotland a couple of weeks back

That is a cracking shot mate.

Lovely car. I think I might even prefer that paint could to midnight purple or bayside blue, it looks brilliant.

Thanks mate. Silica Breath Metallic it's called. Looks better in the metal.

I'd have sworn that was millennium jade. Must just be that lighting in that shot!

Here's another.

Never really a fan of these GTR's at the time, but that has definitely aged well. Like that a lot

mmmm, and that Mazda as well!

[GravelBen]

After coming close on several occasions, I've finally bought a cheap old 4wd to have some off-road fun with (and to stop scraping the Subaru's nose, tail and belly taking it places it isn't really designed to go)



So of course I had to drive up a bank for token 'rear articulation' photos too...

[AmiableChimp]

Gave the big red Maz a long overdue clean inside and out on Saturday, and brought her wee sister out for a photo alongside.

Taxxed the Eunos yesterday so good to go once this biblical rain subsides

That is absolutely stunning. It looks perfect.

Thanks, I wish I could say it was my own but all credit to Rafe Abrook (http://www.rafeabrook.co.uk/) who came the trip and took some fantastic pics.

I always liked the concept of the AWD Mazda when they came out as an alternative to all the Cossies that were the benchmark at the time.

The rarity of the car never allowed that to happen when I finally had the funds and by that time, GTIRs' STI's and GSR's were being imported in droves.

Took mine to the Haynes Breakfast Club last weekend.

Just posted this on the RR "Your cars before and after thread". My other RX-7 as when I got it and a few years later, having kept it completely standard like I said. Oh no, that's not quite right...

[Nik da Greek]

And the other one, something like seven years apart









....yes, the intercooler's on straight now

[Quickmoose]

In 2006 I had this

today I have this, made in 2006

I'm really liking the way your S2K sits.

thanks... it took frickin' ages and was a total headache.
I was after a stance-lite look, flush at worst.
It started out like a balloon tyre'd Carlos Fandango looking thing, that had coilovers set to 'spinal fracture' and overly large arch gaps
Arch rolling, moving the bumper tabs, fitting lower profile tyres with very mild stretch, increased -ve camber and finally softened suspension and I'm there I think.
The Works wheels were from Japan, "Specific S2000 fitment"
only they really shouldn't be as an et offset of 38 is way beyond what is suggested... but a few guys more clevrerer than me have got the car to how I wanted and imagined it...

My last remaining issue is judging everyone's driveway...as if there's anything uneven about the gutter or pavement I will bottom out
