im in the process of fixing my car and came into a HUGE problem for me. i can not find ANYTHING for my car that i need. first off i have a few ideas about stereos that maybe somebody could help me sort out later, bu ti need a new top dash,( black), i need to silver part to the grab handle on each door, the case thing that goes behind the door handle (black), the silver trim around my shifter and maybe a new shifter altogether (the one i have is fine, i just thinking about a short-shift), im trying to find the mazda emblems and that go on the side between the windows ( it says 10 in roman nums. and anniversay under it). thats about all i can think of for now but if ANYONE can help me out with this i would greatly appreciate it.

 

get a parts car- they should have everything you need and then some.

 

well.. i thought about that. but im 16 and dont really have the money for that. any other suggestions?

Good luck finding the tenth anniversary badges!

 

you have 2nd gen?

 

^ Sounds like it....with the 10AE badge

 

Tenth anniversary of the rotary in USA, n0ob

Joking, it's probably not a well known thing. It's. . . 79, I think. Came with much better rims than other SA's, also.

 

yeah.. 88. you never know though.
like they all said, good luck finding the AE badge.

 

No, there was an anniversary FIRST GEN. 79 or 80. It was to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the ROTARY in the US. It has a ROMAN NUMERAL badge (as he said he was missing) rather than the 10AE badge, and special rims. I also beleive it had a special dash/tach, but I could be wrong there. Either way, the stuff is NOT for a 10AE FC, it's for a X AE SA.

 

oh... i knew there was a 79/80 ae but i didnt know it was 10 yr. i thought it was 1 yr of 7 production.

 

Nah, it's tenth, hence the roman numeral X
I think the rims are some of the nicest stock rims first gens ever came with, btw.

 

yeah, i wouldnt mind getting a set myself

 

ya its a first gen. (80) tenth anniversary.. i just got i repainted a few weeks ago. but ya, ive been to about 4 different junkyards and they had sum 7's but they were completely torn apart. nothing was left except windows and the frame... its kinda sad to see a 7 rusting in undergrowth . but im not too sure abtou the special rims u were talking about. but maybe im mistaken

 

Do yours have spokes or are they like a honeycomb?

 

I have the complete inside interior to an 85 gs...in excellent condition...the only problem is its not black its grey!!

 

my rims are liek honeycombs. i wish i had the spokes though, i think those look a lot nicer

 

oh ya. audio idea. i hvae a first gen right, so behind the seats theres that little hump and under it is just all empty space. i wanna put subs and an amp like inlayed into that but i dont know is thats a good idea. so tell me waht u know or think about it so i dont make a mistake.

 

do you have storage bins or the corragated steel looking stuff?
ive seen it done so you could surely do it with enough time

 

I got all kinds of parts for my 85 GSL off e-bay when I was redoing it.

 

its the like corrigated steel liek under carpet, but as long as it sounds good im gonna do it. and ive checked ebay SOOO many times and still came up short. but eventually ill get lucky.
