Are you going to have him take the front and rear bumpers off? Just for safety when loading and unloading.

The rear bumper is stock, but he does have the JDM rear skirt thing, just not on the car. I told Stateway about the mods and it being lowered and they said some 2x4s should help with loading and unloading. I'm sure it wouldn't be a huge deal to take the bumper off if needed, though.
As for the engine bay, it's a fairly stock Z5 bay. Painted valve cover, some blue plug wires and cable cover things, and some aftermarket short intake. He does have a front strutbar, but I'm going to swap my Mazdaspeed one on when it gets here.

Yeah, just an LX. BP would have been nice, but I'm sure the engine will feel hugely different compared to my old, leaky Z5, haha. It's also automatic, but I've got that Kia trans with an MFactory diff I'll swap in over winter along with the ES brakes I got from Chris a few years ago.

Replaced the A/C compressor and filter with units from Advance. Waiting to get the system charged and told there's now a leak. I'm having them find the leak now so I know where to start.
I hate this ****ing car right now. The A/C system is just looking like a heap of scrap metal at this point.

Edit: Just ordered some new o-rings from Jim Ellis Mazda.
Also, a little light of hope in an otherwise horrible start to my day, Stateway says their driver is in the Fort Worth area and the car should be picked up today. Good thing because the seller is leaving for a vacation tomorrow. The car should be delivered by next Tuesday and I should be getting the title in the mail this week.Last edited by irishkev90; 06-18-2013, 10:05 AM.
