Beautiful first car. Safe and reliable that thing will run forever.

Is it a 5 speed?

As far as upgrades, it depends if you are going for looks or driveability. Personally since you have the OEM sides I would go suspention first. Rims are just going to get your daughter a lot of unwanted attention. If you don't want to drop it I'd go with the cold induction consider the cold induction.

it is an Auto...

Apexi seems to be the only one to make a cold induction kit besides all the ebay ones, I know i wont gain alot, but she will breath a little better..

New Bosch 4 way plugs and new wires are on the way.. as far as looks . i thinks she looks good as is, would like JDM tails , but they aint cheap..

She is a noisey sucker... i guess it is a hatch thing... will use some form of dynamat paper to kill some of that noise!

Nice looking rig. Congratulations. My wife has a 1995 GT vert. We bought it this past spring with only 87K on it. We love it as is. The only upgrades we have are the wheels and a rear spoiler, which were on it when we bought it.

Just my opinion, but I think the cold air intakes are a waste. You don't get much for the price you have to pay.

Here is a pic of ours.

K&N drop in filter.

flip3d · 09-21-2006, 01:54 PM

stay away from those bosch plugs... just get some ngk iridiums, you wont regret it.

I had no problem with the +4 in the 5S and 4A. I know some engine don't like them at all, most are Honda.

I have the *4's in my Corolla which has 205k and it runs like a champ..

been doing alot of reading on the 6gc, very tough car!!!

still might do intake mod using a CAI from an accord.. not no big gains i know...but she will breath alot better!!

not doing exhaust cause she is an auto..

mazdaverx7 · 09-24-2006, 10:36 AM

i would just focus on maitenance at this point. a cai would give you a nice sound, but i wouldnt expect any big gains. its a very nice car, i would just make sure the maitenance is taken care of and keep it mostly stock. also, stick with the ngk plugs. the manuacturer reccomends them for a reason. they are all i will use and many will agree. use what you like, its just a suggestion.

Is with a heavy heart that i inform you guys and gals, my daugther flipped her 6gc 3 times..

She was driving on a 2 lane road, when another car went to pass her, when an oncoming car was coming towards the passing car the lady proceeded to turn into my baby''s lane and her rear clipped my girls drivers side front pushing her into a 2-3 foot ditch,, the nose dug in and the car flipped 3 ****ing times!!

My baby girl was shook up but her and her friend came out w/o a damn scratch {well just a small one}

Gotta love a ****ing TOYOTA!!!!

vozizm · 09-26-2006, 02:08 PM

Well The thrill is gone!!!

thousand_five · 09-27-2006, 10:53 AM

That looks bad... Glad to hear that she is alright.

Good thing your daughter and her friend came out with a memory rather than anything else. Looks like the car did what anyone could want. Performed where it counted. Hey, good thing you didnt get the nice rims on and all the fun stuff yet,
