I found these wheels on a web forum a couple of weeks ago. They're 17" wheels off a Mazda 3. The guy that had them only had them on his car for only a year and then decided to make his car a show car. Here's a picture of one of them.

 I finally started to buy some things for the car. Now I can't wait until spring so that I can start putting it on.

 

Fog lights that I bought off e-bay;

I found these headers and test pipe (they call it aconverter, yeah right!) on e-bay also.

I bought a Flowtech Terminator muffler. 2 1/4 inlet and outlet.

3A Racing exhaust tip.

I put the header on, and because the rear O2 sensor had no clearance between it and the transmission mount (I think), I broke it. So I found this O2 simulator on E-Bay.

Struts and Springs, still in the box. I'll take a better pic of them before I install them on the car.

The Front and Rear strut tower bars that I bought for the car

Here's the stereo equipment that I bought;

I decided to keep the Pioneer head unit, so I bought this Pioneer CDX-P1280 12-disc CD changer.

Here are the Power Acoustik amps that I bought;
greatdane68's 1996 Mazda 626 TS980-2 2-channel amp (for subs, bought used).
greatdane68's 1996 Mazda 626 OV2-420 4-channel amp (for mids and highs, bought new).

The Tsunami 2.0 Farad capacitor that I bought used;

Ok, I changed my mind. I've decided to go with this Kenwood radio and changer combo instead of the Pioneer one. I'll use that in another install soon.

Kenwood KDC-C719 10 disc CD changer.

Alright, I've made my final decision. I'm not going to use the Kenwood stuff (I've already sold the CD changer, and the CD player is also for sale). I'm going to use the Pioneer 12-Disc CD changer, and I'll be using this Pioneer CD player;
greatdane68's 1996 Mazda 626 Pioneer DEH-P5900IB CD player.

I was on E-Bay one day, and I found this amp. Got it BRAND NEW for $61.00, including shipping.
Rockford Fosgate P3001 Mono Amp
greatdane68's 1996 Mazda 626
I'll be using this instead of the Power Acoustik TS-980-2 amp on my subs.

I got these subs on sale through Crutchfield. They're MTX Thunder 4500 T4512-04 12's.

I finally got my Mid/High speakers. They're Pioneer Premier TS-A841P 6"x8" speakers for the doors and rear deck.

Pioneer TS-T15 tweeters.

When I put my rear strut tower bar in, I lost the room that I needed to put a 12" sub box in that wouldn't take up much space, and the one that I did mock up took up more space than I wanted it to, so I'm putting in these two Kicker C10's.

greatdane68's 1996 Mazda 626

I realized that I might be about to create a problem with my charging system. The Power Acoustik 4-channel amp that I was going to use on my mids and highs can draw as much amperage as the Fosgate that I'm using on the subs, so I had to come up with something else. Viola!!! I'll be using this Power Acoustik LFA2-420 amp on my mids and highs now. I'll be loosing 35 watts per channel, but I'll survive. 45 watts per channel is still plenty of power for mids and highs in a daily driver.

The muffler on my new exhaust system is rattleing, so I'm going to replace it with this one.  I found it on E-Bay.

greatdane68's 1996 Mazda 626

 I also found a headlight in good condition too.  The one that's on it is in pretty sad shape.

 

greatdane68's 1996 Mazda 626

I got this H.I.D. kit for it last week. I figured that since I had them on my other cars that I may as well put them on this one too.

 Here's the yellow H3 bulbs that I will be using in the foglights.

Wow I used to think 626s are ugly, but this isn't bad at all.
