That's a kickin' little car - I drove one for a few months in high school.

How'd you find it with such low miles?

As for mods, maybe check eBay? There's gotta be a good Mazda forum out there with a section on older 626's...

I wish i could find it (a fourm) ive checked ebay, but i think i might as well go 13b turbo, and trans just to have a powerful oldschool ride that will win shows, ect

There is http://www.mazda626.net if you scroll down you'll see a section for "Other 626's"

Header found here http://www.dalhems.com/engine/ssheader1.html

See what I can find for rims/bolt pattern.

Uh, does anyone still custom drill bolt patterns? 'cause there's NOTHING beyond steelie's out there. Even the '82 RX7 (same size) was only a 13 inch.
