Finally bought a new car, and it's a....
 

1994 Mazda 626 Cronos (LX basically) V6 5-Speed.
Has 106 Mile or 170km on it.
I had a choice of this or a 1992 Honda Accord LX (your dx) 5-speed.
Both had A/C
but the Mazda was newer looking, much newer, it had power windows (which I'm much used to) and I thought was a better buy for my money.
The Mazda has something like 164hp and 160tq.
Getting it sometime mid next week!

what do those look like?...and congrats on the buy;)

Gratz on the purchase. I know youve been wanting a new car for a while, and it looks like you found a nice one. Do you have plans to mod it or just keep it how it is? A friend of mine has a early 90s Mazda MX-6 automatic and its tranny has blown at 80k miles... good thing you got the manual!!!:yes:

Ummm regarding the mods part, for the first year, I'll maybe just lower it and tint it, that's it.
It's got some miles on it already so I don't think I'll make it a speed demon or anything.
This is the car!

Congrats Juve.. Those are good cars.

yup its a nice one, just needs to be cleaned out. the owner before d was a smoker :pukey so the seats & mats will haveto be cleaned a few times to get the smell out.

the car looks nice...once again...congrats on the buy.

Congrats on the buy. I think you made a good choice getting the newer car. Looks really nice too.

Car looks very nice and clean. Lowering it sounds nice. May want to try and grab a cheap set of Motegi rims off ebay or something to throw on there when you drop it... the MR8s would look sweet on that thing... just some thougts:yes:

Dont forget camber kits when you lower it! No car likes bad camber, especially ones with higher mileage that are lowered!

don't remind me of that.

congrats juve. and it's a good thing you did not get the auto. on those 626 tranny is known to have problems.

you got the prokits right?
And its that bad?

yup. 3 2 degrees and 1 5 degrees, but my frame is not so kosher. i gotta take it to the dealer and ask them to bend the front crossmember. i think the car was wrecked before i got it.

btw I heard that Mazda uses a ford auto tranny
do they use anything else from Ford?

Congrats Juve.. Hope you like it.
