Braggin' Rights Test Thread
I know a few members have mentioned some interest and due to slower traffic some may think its a waste of time but why don't we see. I don't think there is nothing wrong with giving it a shot and having a friendly competition among those who love to visit this site and participate on the forum.
I've never started anything like this before so if I'm way out of line, firstly say so, I take no offense but why not start a Ride Of The Month on a test basis as merely a friendly contest and change the name to BROTM - Braggin' Rights Of The Month. Any Mazda is welcome to put up their rides, from modded to completely stock, its the love of the car that matters and owners of stock cars are just as proud, 2 pics please. If this thread busts, oh well, no worries. And if the mods feel I have overstepped any boundaries please just ban me and get it over with. lol. I don't want to create any extra work to an already workload of the mods as I'm not in a position at the moment to actually monitor this type of thread, so gauging interest at this time. I will start if I can be so bold to see what happens. I'm relatively new owner so mods are slowly coming.

There goes the neighbourhood,,lol... ^^^ sweeeeeeeeeeeet.
Does that red top work with the factory hold down bracket? |
Red tops come with a 1" plastic spacer that sits underneath them to make them normal sized. you can almost sorta see it in that pic of my engine bay. It's the red piece at the bottom of the battery.
