I road race and autocross, so chromies would have to be an "extra" set and I don't have that kind of $$ laying around. Polished or painted is the way to go.

Nah, my car is mostly stock right now. I did the cold air box (Max Air), strut tower brace and my favorite mod -- Tein HA coilovers. Let me lower the car to a decent height and have 16 levels of adjustable dampening. Since I autoX and road race, they were money well spent. I also just had a new clutch installed (HPF bronze unsprung, RPS pp, new OEM flywheel), so I'm still getting used to it. Should have seen me the first couple hundred miles... looked like I was learning how to drive a stick for the first time. Pedal travel is about half what it was and it's still very grabby. It's supposed to hold up to 800whp though, so I shouldn't have to upgrade it again.

You gonna go with a custom color? I love the Beryllium that Saleen uses on some of his cars, but it looks similar to the Mazdaspeed color so... :shrug:

Thanks...I know you're just being nice. going from MKIV Poopra to 3rd gen Maro is quite a leap...

hehe beat u to it, will have it on sometime next week as soon as I find a decent place that wont scratch the rims.to be fair, how about I promise I wont paint the car white.
when is that beast going to be ready lenny. I am sure there is a waiting list for people that want a ride once it's ready. fuel system all taken care of?

I sent the T78 out to get rebuilt. This week I'll replace my valve stem seals and change out the bump sticks
