^^ Well I purchased that diff off a member here. He figured it was f'd so he got a used one and I bought this one to rebuild. It will get Mazda gears and all new bearings soon. Babying my car lately until I can get this one finished.

Got the rear brakes installed today as well as the coilovers. Also got the alignment the best it can be. Needs some more goodies to go a touch lower and get a proper alignment but it's fairly decent for now.

Stole these pics from my Instagram, haven't washed her yet to take any nicer/proper pictures.
Before and after of the rear setup.


Car at home in the driveway.


Updated "to-do" list:
- Finish front bumper / front splitter
- Rebuild diff
- New AP2 soft top or a hard top.
- Wheels
- Diffuser
- Engine mods

Already have lowlife problems haha. Rubbed through the right side marker and signal light wires. Will be fixed tomorrow.

Another jacked Instagam photo. Love driving a lowered car again after 3 years of stock height cars.

Thanks Jason! It's getting there.
It's hard to get it where I want it in the time I want it done since I'm trying to finish another project car at the same time.

Regardless, I'm happy with it'd progress thus far.

Do you have 2 sets of AP1 rims? I'm so confused, they keep changing from black to silver

Haha no, I plasti-dipped one side of the car to see if I liked it, and it took me like 10 months to finally do the other side.
Just trying to make it look a little more mean until I can choose/afford rims. Even if I had the money for them right now, I wouldn't be able to choose wheels. Too many I like.

Single shot from tonight.
Haven't had the camera out in a while, pretty rusty.

Decided I wanted to get the camera out more often, so I finally hit up a location I've wanted to use for a while now.
Couple decent ones from today..





Some engine bay work going to happen this week.
- Valve cover/coil cover getting redone tomorrow.
- Hoping to get my battery relocated and possibly my fuse box/EPS box moved as well.

Also on the list of to-do's is to lower the front a little more to even it out. I feel like the front is a tad too high compared to the rear.
