silteglude’s 1992 Mazda 929

MISCELLANEOUS STUFFI put LEDs in my front maplights. They are always on so at night there is red illumination to see CDs or find my Kools. I also put them in the front footwells. These are switched with the door opening.In case you were checking out YOUR 929 and noticed mine was missing something... I shaved off all the badges but for the Mazda symbols on the rear decklid and grille. The grille has got to go. I see mesh as an intermediate step.============I removed the plastic rear panel surrounding my taillights and license plate. It was cracked (see p1) and rattled like a mofo with any sort of music at any volume. If nothing else it looks different. Ideally I'll seal it with plexiglass and do something strange back there...an aquarium with some fake fish you say? Perhaps.========================I changed the amber front turn signal lights to clear. The lenses came clear from the factory. OK Mazda.========================Here is a pic of my mad 'custom' airbox. I drilled many holes to allow for increased airflow. The difference made is negligible, but it sure was fun to do... Ghetto? Nah, not so much.After scathing criticism of my drilling skills I received this adaptor and cone type filter.While I was at it, I decided to loom some of the hoses/cables under the hood with some scraps I had laying about. I can't decide if the colors work or not... they don't!So I changed the loom to all blue.

Street Glow Gold Series Undercar Kit - Sorry the nighttime pics suck!I just got a set of red neons. Allegedly they can take 8 hours to install properly... what?!? I didn't have 8 hours to spend so I did it in 5 1/2. (Thanks Dex!) I did everything according to the instructions. Front neon... I had to remove all 4 wheels to route the wires properly. Side neon from below. I even went to the trouble of using wire loom and connecting a relay to my factory foglight switch to power up the transformer for the neons. Here is the transformer (with the red wire coming out of it) mounted with custom bracket. I did this since the fogs are replaced with the cheap driving lights which don't add much to the HIDs anyways. So now when I switch on the fogs, the neons come on.

x77911s 92.929Bad News - As of 4/28/03 the 92.929 will ride no more. Incurred major engine damage on 4/27 and cannot justify the repair & replacement of the parts. The 929 WILL run.It's for sale, as is. I'll have pics of my 1998 Mustang soon so stay tuned.Here goes my 929.Page 2 - HID ConversionPage 3 - AudioPage 4 - Street GlowPage 5 - MiscellaneousI have owned it for about a year and a half and put nearly 30k miles on it. I love the way this car rides, drives, sounds, and looks (sometimes it even smells good, too). I haven't done much that anyone else couldn't do to his car on a meager budget like mine.

They aren't great in bad weather, but I don't care at all 'cos the stick they have when the roads are dry make up for having to corner slowly and brake early in the rain anyways. About the tires not being great in the weather and all... Late in Oct. I was driving up 287N and was exiting onto 510W. I was going a bit fast (ca. 60mph) and got the tail out. The ramp is a slow right, decreasing-radius. The first few seconds were all fun as I counter steered and had (almost) complete control. Then suddenly the tires caught traction and my countersteer sent me over the curb and straight towards the guardrail. I managed to avoid the rail, but my wheels are bent to shit and my right front tire is cut. Here comes a good excuse for some new bigger wheels.Here's the damage to the front wheel and tire: Look at the flat spot. BAM!...And the rear wheelIt's utter crap that this happened since I've been extra careful up to that point and never touch the curb, hit a pothole, etc. Oh well...My New Tire Damage Pics (Note the Busted Ass Sidewalls) Apparently they aren't going to make these tires anymore since they've been replaced by the AVSdB, which is too bad. When I have the tires warmed up I can hear them picking up anything and everything on the road. Over tar expansion strips they make this great sucking sound. Onramps that I could previously take at only 35-40 mph, I am handling easily at twice the rate of speed (testing performed on closed roads, of course). The Yokohamas are mounted on (I know the name is queer..) Sport Edition Tekno wheels. They have a design which I enjoy on the 929 and although they are not the lightest, they do enhance the look of the car.Here is the vehicle with the stock 15" alloys.

I know it isn't clean as can be.I chose an Eclipse 5442 5 volt CD head to supply signal to my system. It looks classy in an understated way that appeals to me. I personally don't care about flying dolphins on my dash.The 5442 closed and OFF...Open and ON. Check the CDtext...Currently I have installed Eclipse 5" component sets with outboard crossovers. I made a custom mounting bracket to fit the woofer and tweeter to a 5x7" opening.Here is the setup with the panel offAnd with the door panel ON!And NEXT comes the custom painted grille (it's the same paint I used on my brake calipers)I am very pleased with the sound of the drivers. If I could change one thing about them it would be that they have the slightest hint more low end.I utilized an Eclipse PA5422 4ch. amplifier to power the front and rear speakers. It is mounted behind the driver's seat under a false floor with air ducts and cooling fans. Pics coming soon...My rear speakers are nothing to get excited about... just some POS Kenwoods.To handle the bass duties, I enlisted the aid of one JL 10w7. Previously I had a Rockford 18" in a 1.5 cuft slot port box, but it got old and I had to have the w7 series. This box is also a ported type.Note the cigarette box on top to show scale.From the backPowering the 10w7 is an Eclipse 34230 1100w 2 ch amplifier. It is mounted where the factory amp was in the trunk. I have installed a Lightning Audio 1 farad cap under the rear seat to help feed the amp's voracious appetite for power. Pics coming soon...

Page 3 - AudioPage 4 - Street GlowPage 5 - MiscellaneousThe Mazda 929 lighting system is grossly underpowered. 9005/9006 headlights and H3 factory fogs. They SUCK!Initially, I upgraded the low beams with PIAA Super Plasma Ion bulbs. Big improvement. After my factory fogs broke, I removed them and replaced them with some off brand driving lights, mostly for looks as the lights aren't well focused.After installing a HID conversion kit on a BMW M5, I knew I had to get HIDs for my car. Here is what they look like. At first, I had them in my high beam location (9006), but I got pulled over and have to deal with a load of garbage about my license (long story; I'll stop). I moved the HIDs to the 9005 lowbeam spots. I'm not as bright now *haha* because there are beam focusers(?) around the HID bulbs.========>>>>>AUDIO SYSTEM PICS...========>>>>>

Previously I had a Rockford 18" in a 1.5 cuft slot port box, but it got old and I had to have the w7 series. This box is also a ported type.Note the cigarette box on top to show scale.From the backPowering the 10w7 is an Eclipse 34230 1100w 2 ch amplifier. It is mounted where the factory amp was in the trunk. I have installed a Lightning Audio 1 farad cap under the rear seat to help feed the amp's voracious appetite for power. Pics coming soon...
