Cockpit
There's not much done here. The ancient mazda head unit has been replaced with Soundmax SM-225USR unit, which besides having standard RDS radio and CD/MP3-CD player supports MP3 playback from USB thumb drive and SD/MMC. The major drawbacks of this budget equipment are the rather hostile user interface and long boot-up time. If you plan on buying one, make sure you carry the manual with you and make the passenger your radio operator.
The steering wheel is Dino/Raid sport wheel with collapsible hub. The diameter of the wheel is 350mm. It's a very nice wheel with offset hub, which makes the wheel feel even smaller and keeps the view to the instruments unobstructed.
All the lights in the dashboard and instrument panel are made red. Incandescent bulbs have been replaced with red LEDs.
The moonroof is a retrofit. It's basically similar to OEM item.
The seats are swapped from a 5dr GD, and are 1" lower than GV seats.
Pedals are made from scratch.
Passenger comfort! Is not found here. The seat for the last two passengers is in to trunk, facing backwards. Actually quite a good thing since there's no seat belts there... The seat is covered in velour though. It can be folded down for storage space.
