Well about two weeks ago I picked up a 2002 Mazda B3000 from a local pawn shop. Before this, I had a 1981 Camaro (bumblebee haha) but the engine blew in it, and it was impractical as a daily driver. So I sold that for 2750 and bought this truck for 2200. VERY happy with it, the pawn shop said that slave cylinder may need replacing so I drove it home (just barely) and used the rest of the money to put it in the shop. For $450 I got a new clutch set, and slave with labor. I already replaced the master clutch cylinder before taking it to the shop thinking that it might have been just that. It's the 3.0 V6 with the 5 speed. Everything is stock

Without further ado, here she is :)

Here she is on the lift getting an oil change

Took of the mudflaps. Having access to a lift and huge garage with every tool imaginable is nice :)

pic no workie, need to use photobucket with the img codes to post a pic. Glad you got into a RBV and $450 isn't to bad for parts and labor really i'd say you got a pretty good deal, welcome and don't hesitate to ask questions or post pics
 
Welcome to the Station Mini! Your pics didn't work so try and use the attach function in the go advanced section. So do you have a manual 5-speed or a 5R55E 5-speed? I've got the auto 4R44E 4-speed. I wasn't sure if the 5R55E came with the 3.0 or not. Anyway, welcome again!
 
Thanks guys, I'll fix the pics later. It's a 5 speed manual to clear that up
 
Yeah, i've had some ideas. When the tires need to be replaced, I'm thinking some 29x9.5 General Grabber AT2's or some other AT tires. Any suggestions? Also will probably purchase a K&N air filter.

Eventually I would like to get a lift, with some 31's and a posi in the rear.
 
the only good thing about k&n is you can wash them and last alot longer than a normal air filter. no guarrantee on hp gain tho sorry. they say it will but i wouldnt believe it. a cold air intake kit would boost your hp anywhere from 2-10. just cuz of the more streamline air flow
