The car started life as a 2002 SE, which meant titanium silver paint and saddle brown interior. It also meant that it had a 6-speed transmission, 3.9 Torsen rear end, Bose stereo, a factory appearance package consisting of small side skirts, rear mud flaps and a front lip. I have since added various other aftermarket and OEM Mazda parts to come up with a rather unique "Special Edition". The following pages will show the transformation.
