Just a update to my crapbox I bought a while back.  After ditching the plan for a v6 swap I let my son tear off the head to find out what was going on with the low compression. Turns out the head gasket was blown and all the exhaust valves where leaking. After a long wait for the head to get done at the machine shop we finally got it back together and running! Even with the automatic I found it a pretty fun car to throw around. My son is proud he got to actually tear something up and put it back together, lol.

Up next is tires, it has 4 different sizes on it at the moment. 

Brakes,  looking into the Mazda 6 upgrade .

Suspension,  lowering springs and a rear bar?

More power..?

AWR makes strut tubes that allow for available konis to be fitted, with eibachs it makes for nice pairing that plays nicely with a rear sway bar.
