The Cynic Says……

Yeah, no joke… we actually bought a fucking car. Well, my girlfriend is going to be the one driving it but we have a car at our disposal nonetheless. We got a 1995 Mazda 626 LX-V6 for $1500. Not too bad of a car, but it needs a little work, unfortunately. Both oxygen sensors seem to have kicked the bucket. I’ll be damned if I’m going to pay stealership prices to have them replaced seeing as how I can get them online for about 1/3 the price. The front sensor is the easy one to get to; I’m not so sure about the rear one. I may just buy them and take it to someone. Then again, I’ve seriously been considering dropping in a JDM KL-ZE engine and transmission to replace the tired drivetrain in the car currently. 200hp in a 626 wouldn’t be half bad. She wants to put a CD player and Sirius radio in it, which I’m totally cool with. We really don’t have jack shit for decent radio down here so it’ll be a nice change. I figure we’ll end up spending $400 or so to do it. Not too terrible and it’ll be a nice upgrade from the factory cassette player. Either way, we’ll end up turning this into sort of a project car, which might be lots of fun. More to come later, including some pics.
