You realize, of course, that there is a canadian section on the forum.
My best advice, PM PDday. |
lol ... yes i do realize that ... just though the input from here would be better... i'll go give out a shout to the people over too i guess

Dude, I'd be interested in knowing too.
Yes, there is a Canadian section of the forum, but most of them are 2nd and 3rd Gen guys, so I'd bet you a box of timbits that they wouldn't know ;) Jon |
^^^ as he said ... and they always go off topic ... they just try to flame you for everything you say ... i don't like that part of the forum
|
I don't mind it.. but I'll PM PDDay to see if he knows :p:
Thanks Feds ;) See you at the meet in May?, Jon |
Alright i tried PM'ing him ... but it keeps on telling me that there is no such user ??
tell me if you get anything viper. |
don't buy the hygrade kit, i bought 5 of those damn kits for my 7 and each one came with a set of gaskets for something called a carter carb for old chryslers or something. just break down and buy the mazda one

Rx7Carl and Sterling use *only* the Hygrade/Standard kits in their rebuilds because they come with metal replacement crush washers, and replacement checkballs and weights IIRC.
Whoever you were buying the kit from probably had the wrong part number for our cars and kept ordering the wrong damn kit. I would NEVER buy a rebuild kit of any sort from Mazda. They have such an insane markup on almost everything for our car that it's almost always better to find out who makes thier kits and buy it from another supplier. The only exception I've ever found to that "rule" of mine is NGK sparkplugs. They are only slightly more expensive at mazda (less than a dollar each difference from other distributors) and they are more likely to have them in stock or be able to order them quickly. That's why I want to find a Hygrade/Standard rebuild kit. Other kits for our carbs (like the one I once bought at Canadian Tire for $35) come with crappy washers made of gasket paper and no replacements for anything other than the seals. It's more a "re-seal" kit than a "rebuild" kit. I don't even know if Hygrade/Standard sell in Canada under that name or at all. I may just have to drive down to the US and get one. Jon |
who sells them down in the states? my sister lives in lake charles louisiana .. is there any places near there that it can be purchased from? like that she would be able to ship it to me from there
|
i bought the hygrade kits from carquest, they can order them in from the states, if you do just make sure the kit u get is the correct one
