Posted here to get some more exposure. Help me out guys. I found another project I want, but dont' worry, it has a Mazda logo on it too.

 

You gotta be kidding right? Have you even driven 'er? Dat's just not right.

So what's the new project?

 

Actucally I've been driving it for over a week. Joyriding in it all morning today. I like the car a lot, believe me, I have nothing against it, but I'm looking at it from a financial perspective. The car I'm looking at getting is a '93 MX-6 LS, V-6 5-speed, it needs a new motor, and they're selling it dirty cheap. $500 to be exact. In running condition it's probably worth about $4k....I'd probably buy it, fix it, then sell it possibly, unless I decided to keep it as a daily driver. Look at it this way, if I sold it and had the $4k laying around, you'd probably see me back in an TII. You never know. I'm trying to be rather strategic and planning ahead with what I buy and sell, this car is kinda acting as a foothold on buying something nicer. I don't mind putting the work into them.

 

If the 2nd gen MX-6 is anything like the 1st, i'm glad you feel that way.

 

I owned a Probe GT(sister car to MX-6) for 3 years and they're not that bad. I know pretty much every common problem they have, and how to fix them, as far as reliability, our cars(RX-7's) don't exactly have a reputation for reliability.

 

No offense but whata bunch of bull... a myth.... FUD. People think they're unreliable because nobody ever maintained them and they fell to ****. Your average mechanic was/is just too afraid "oooo spooky" of the rotary.

 

Not reliable? My car has near 160k miles on it and it runs better than most newer cars I see today.

 

rotary engine are really solid little engines.

 

as long as you put a rotary in it lol

 

That's kinda funny, cause it's the same way with Probe's/MX-6. The engine bay is a little crammed so nobody likes to work on them, so they give them a bad rap. I never had any major problems with mine, had 145k on it when I got rid of it, didn't burn a drop of oil, good compression, still beat my friends lightly modded FC.

As far as my plans for the other car, not sure. If I decided to keep it I'll be putting the 200hp j-spec 2.5 in it and running that.

Flack from you guys is to be expected, I knew that in advance. *shrug*

 

How much are you asking...or did i miss that part?

 

Hey the only time we actually "raced" is once when I was behind you, and the only thing I had done was a H-F Cat...so STFU And I still kept up pretty well It was a great car though, definately no slouch..

 

I'd like to see $2k, which I think is very fair.

Hehe, I knew you'd like that. How about those few times on those hills, where I just ran away. Remember those? I'm just messin with you. But you do realize, and MX-6 with a ZE would be some fair competition for you. We'll see, that kid is supposed to come look at the truck tomorrow, if i sell them both, I may just buy that Ex I was looking at, still dunno how much they want for it though. Forgot to stop today.

Accepting reasonable offers.

That's near Dubois right? I have a camp up north, and have been by Sharon numerous times. We're setting up a meet down here if you're interested. You can pick up my car and take it back with you.

Who needs a swap when you can have the whole car?

Too bad you're to far to see what your car is all about.
