Bag set-up

Your not going to find a tech article on the front bag setup on a mazda that is super in depth....so the link I gave you above is basically the best you'll get...that I am aware of!

That tutorial gets you setup for the install pretty nicely! If you've tuned ricers before like a lot of us you can bag the front of you maz! Its not rocket science, just take your time and measure!

Its sweet that you are venturing into another scene and once you complete this thing your will have more confidence in yourself then you ever would tuning a ricer!

Just my 2 coppers!

Good luck mang, and like I said just keep searching the forums!

Let me know, or any of us know if you need help!

THis isn't SSM so your not going to get flamed or jerked around by asking questions!

Alright. I need to get a welder. I know this is kind of basic but, what type of welding am I going to be doing. I figure I might get myself a welder so I can practice.

you could tig weld your brackets and whatnot, but i don't think that would be reasonable for you to learn quickly, and it would be most inconvenient. you'll most likely be MIG welding, using a wire feed welder with a 'gun' and trigger. hopefully a welder with gas assist. you could arc weld them too, but that'd be pretty tough too.
a lot of people will tell you to get a 110v welder, a miller, lincoln, hobart, etc. and there's nothing wrong with a cheaper 110v welder, it'll get the job done, but i prefer something else.
i am a fan of the 220v welder. i won't ever use a 110v welder again. i love the versatility of being able to weld thin sheetmetal and thick steel plate.

There is no such thing as too much practice, or 'good enough' when your dealing with your front suspension, or any frame modification for that matter. you'll need to practice and learn proper metal fitment, and penetration, so that you know when you grind down your weld your stuff's not going to fall apart.
