I don't necessarily regret it, but wonder how it would have been if I did. I'll never find another deal like that, but at least I still got the goat for even cheaper. You must post a video.

It just didnt have the posts on it. It wasn't on the rear deck. It was AT THE TOP OF THE HATCH. No other exterior mods were present. Now i know what rear window aero kits look like, and this aint one of them

Plus they're the only small truck left now that the Frontier, Dakota, and Tacoma got huge.
I have a 94 Mazda B4000 LE myself. So it's a ranger with the 4.0, it's an automatic (blah I know, the truck was given to me for free in 02 with 40K miles on it), 4x4, two tone paint (medium seafoam green and silver). Love the thing so much! I just wish it was a 95 so that it got the brand new (at the time) interior with airbags and such. Must be kinda weird replacing a 12 year old truck and getting a truck with the same interior (minus steering wheel, gauge cluster, and a few other tweeks) eh? The thing people complain about the most is the ride quality. IT'S A PICKUP TRUCK, GET OVER IT. I want to strangle reviewers whenever they mention how you can feel a lack of rigidity in the chassis over bumps. It's not like it's a unibody.. it's a truck. Why waste money on a truck that rides like a Toyota Camry? How good is the mileage with the 4cyl and 5spd? time to go look to see if there's such thing as a 4cyl, 5spd, 4x4 ranger. If I bought one (used) it would be a winter-only car, hence wanting 4x4. |

get a wideband, get megasquirt, and tune your own economy map. 16.8:1 below half throttle, 15.5:1 above half. smooth the difference out, work on keeping timing as little retarded as possible, and enjoy 28mpg on a v6. |

I wouldn't have turbocharged the car if I couldn't keep the same fuel economy on the highway. It's a 6 hour drive to get home from school, and I can just make it on a full tank. Most of the fuel stops on the NYS thruway are friggin exxonmobil so I refuse to use them. I gotta be able to do the trip on one tank :P my car still is my DD lol. since it gets 36mpg highway it makes up for it. I've measured as bad as 15mpg filling up just before an autocross and then right after. granted idling while waiting in line only to spend nearly a minute near redline in second gear at full boost will do that. it's just really sad to get 15mpg from a 2.0 i4 |

it's so good.fuel economy plummets when I autocross or go to a track day but that's the price you pay for performance. Breathing mods go a long way. I got 36.6mpg before I turbocharged the car, and since then (been over a year) I have managed 36.2 even with the added backpressure of a turbo. I just hate all the v8 pickup trucks with 1 person in them and absolutely perfectly clean truck beds. what a waste |

The Jetta, Focus, and Malibu made it through fine. The F-150 and Silverado got stuck.
Don't underestimate the power of FWD. |
