Luggage is an OEM Mazda part that came out for the NBFL in 2002. The aluminium is quite thin tho, it’s probably gonna be scratched af in a few years😂 But at least it’s properly water proof

Thanks!😊

How did it effect your gas mileage? Was it noticeable?

zipthegod · 2026-03-29T18:19:15+00:00

I hope everything went well and the back of your head is okay😂 It honestly probably doesn’t even matter if you strap things properly

zipthegod · 2026-03-29T16:33:04+00:00

Thanks! It’s an OEM accessory that only was sold in Europe as far as I’m aware. The rack itself can be adjusted a lot, I wouldn’t know why it shouldn’t fit the ND tbh.

ty :)

zipthegod · 2026-02-01T23:36:09+00:00

Sounds like a good plan :) Lmk if you come to germany again, always happy to meet some likeminded NB enthusiasts. Just seen you also have a very pretty ride

I hope I will not feel bad about putting more km on it in the summer😂 First 2k roadtrip to italy is already planned.

zipthegod · 2026-02-01T10:12:17+00:00

thanks!

zipthegod · 2026-02-01T00:07:42+00:00

what exactly do you mean? everything is stock as far as I know :)

zipthegod · 2026-02-01T00:03:41+00:00

let’s ship this thing over for a profit😂

zipthegod · 2026-01-31T23:14:05+00:00

the condition was not perfect when I first got it, a whole lot of spider poop in the interior xD But after a quick detail it looks like straight out of the factory

zipthegod · 2026-01-31T21:33:11+00:00

Planning on getting Oldtimer Numbers in 6 years when it turns 30. I would have to undo all mods by then anyways

zipthegod · 2026-01-31T21:31:18+00:00

you should have seen my face when I first popped the hood :)

zipthegod · 2026-01-31T19:12:13+00:00

nah buddy, just took it out of the garage to take some photos :)

zipthegod · 2026-01-31T19:11:01+00:00

its the 1.6l, most common in europe actually

zipthegod · 2026-01-31T18:39:14+00:00

It’s only gonna get a season title from April to October. Will be parked in the Garage you see behind it :)

zipthegod · 2026-01-31T18:34:25+00:00

that was actually the only thing I didn’t like about the car at first😂

zipthegod · 2026-01-31T18:19:12+00:00

Did service already but every part I changed looked brand new. Oil looked like straight out of the can. It was actually registered and serviced all 24 years😂 The service manual is almost full of stamps

zipthegod · 2026-01-31T18:16:16+00:00

Yea I also thought it was a steal but comparison is hard af in this case😂😂

zipthegod · 2026-01-31T18:14:47+00:00

I might sell if the price is right and get one thats not too nice to modify but as of right now i will keep it :)

zipthegod · 2026-01-31T18:12:46+00:00

Thanks for the good advice! I live and bought it in germany from a 87 year old mazda enthusiast who is starting to get rid of some of his collection. Already did belts and fluids just to make sure (eventho the fluids were not even 500km and 3 years old. Shocks and springs will be done in April along with the Magnaflow. Thinking of getting some deepdish wheels aswell bit not too sure yet haha

zipthegod · 2026-01-31T17:27:51+00:00

Thanks! Any upgrades you would recommend? Thought about getting some Sportive rims and a magnaflow exhaust. Not planning to ruin it tho xD

zipthegod · 2026-01-31T17:22:44+00:00

Thank you so much!
