It's easy. A little bit of heat and some fishing string.

Just search on YouTube.

Not tricky at all. I've done it, but you will have holes where the Mazda goes on the left. Have to be filled and painted. Fishing line is your friend.

Too bad we can never seem to get all together. There are a few s1's in my area but I doubt any of them even know what they are driving....

s1 WB on Williams
s1 WWP on Vintage
s1 VR off a street on Loyola
s2 MG behind Wal-Mart on Loyola
s1 TG on Joe Yenni (ME )

And I see at work...

s1 BB
s1 VR
s1 TG
s1 WWP

And I somehow managed to loose that sticker Hesselrode made me...

This Saturday I will finally be putting on my Megan Racing rear control arms and doing another alignment. Maybe after that I'll go try the drift event out.

There is an RX-7 that runs with a V-8. Hadn't seen an 8 at all yet. Speaking of engines, I can replace engines for anyone that needs it. Ray Brandt Mazda charges $1881 for labor and $2001 for the engine. I can get the engine for alot less and can do the labor for half the price. You know I don't hardly ever see RX-8's anywhere. There are a couple on base, and one in Belle Chasse, but never see them like 1.3 LOF does.

It just doesn't seem right to put a v8 in any of the rx models. Isn't that rotary sacralig.lol....... I have been seeing 8 alot more latly. I don't need my engine replaced just yet, But eventually I'll prob need a rebuild.
