Question What's inside ur storage bins?

Just a thread to see what everyone keeps in thier storage bins. Here's what I keep..

Driver's Side storage bin
Portable set of wrenches (got for x-mas last year)
3 Terry Cloth towels (used)
WD-40
Windex behind the driver's seat
Uner the bin is the amp

Passenger's Side bin
Eagle One quick shine (instant detailer for those bird crap stains)
Armor-all orange wipes (just in case)
Extra set of spark plugs (in case the engine floods)
Two lighters (in case the second set of plugs flood)
Coolant behind the passenger's seat.

A big 'ol rat nest was in there when I got it.

Now=nothing.

I find when I'm practicing my mad dorifto skillz, things rolling around in the back throw my car off balance and cause the bolts on my intake manifold to blow off.

You FB people are pretty spoiled. I have no such luxuries in my 79.

However, I do have an "oh ****" kit way it the back with a whole bunch of stuff to fix anything that goes wrong.

what type of subs did you use? is the bass boomy? I'm debating betwen 1 Eclipse Type R 10 or 2, i don't think I have enough power to run 2, and I don't want it to be too boomy.

storage bins

Since my 1979 does not have bins. Could someone send me a template of the size and placement of the cutouts so I can cut out the holes where the bin doors go and make some doors. Maybe there was a template with the kit Mazda used to offer for the early RX-7's? TIA

I removed those stupid bins decades ago so that my surfboard can fit. I guess you can say I have a surfboard back there (sometimes).

Who needs an ol' **** tool box and parts when there's AAA

Reasons for calling: throttle stuck open b/c a rivet lodged in there, dead battery, dead battery, bad starter, and bad fuel pump. That's 0.3 times per year.
