Thumbs up clean and simple

So far I have removed the battery shield Fan shroud air box assembly, Doing electric fan- puller, plan to delete clutch fan to negate draw from the motor,clean up the engine bay We will build a Nice custom 2.5" exhaust with a header and, custom Intake which we will Manufacture eventually for all FC owners to consider.

By the way your VERT is A++ Loving the black on black.

Thanks brian! Yes, new pictures will be posted up as soon as she is buffed out paint is a little dull. We still need to put the seats back in and door panels.

Everything in her works except the passenger window, driver we already replaced! we also replaced the vert top motors both sides and she works like a charm fires right up.
Upgraded the injectors to 720cc all 4

"Racex7" I'm late on this one, "Welcome to the Otherside", water logged or not, for the price you bought it for , it was a steal , (you could have sold the parts and got your money back and some), you you coundn't lose, now bring up to par and you'll be enjoying what the rest of us vert drivers have been enjoying for a long time.

"IRingTwyce" is absoulutly correct, too much sun can cause a bad case of sun burn, or even skin cancer, if exposed to a certain type of uv rays for periods of time, so use protection , a hat , if you want, and definately, sunscreen, if you know your sensitive to the sun, even if your not. The Mazda Vert is the only soft top convertible that is very versatile, with the top up we drive them just like the coupes owners, with the top down, we enjoy the scenery around us (can't do that with the coupes), The only soft top vert, that can be put into a targa mode, see pict : the top hard targa top doesn't bubble up, like you see most other convertables do over the years. So, crank up the music and cruise on down the highway, and enjoy, just know when to put the top up.

Thumbs up Oh yeah

(Lip on those wheels +1).We drover her for close to 7 miles last night drove great not a bump or squeak. She was not water logged any worse then some jack wagon driving threw the car wash with the top down like in the movies. At 64K miles she's mint and worth every penny of investment! It's only profit if we even consider to sell her. There is another I drive past everyday to and from work that has $800 in the window coincidentally its white with blue top and interior the exterior is ruff but seats look mint from the road im letting it bake see if he comes down, guess it hasn't run in 5 years but If compression is good no problem for F.R. will it be # 16? lol

"Ricex7", if you could afford another $800.00, you should consider buying that white vert. depending on the availablity of mazda verts in your area. Sooner or later , your gonna need to replace parts maybe just the trimming that cracks easily over the years or door panels, trunk lid, window regulators , top motors, etc, etc, etc, and if that car runs, you got a bonus . It'll pay for itself.

The ecu shouldn't matter. Mine is running on a N351 and doesn't have any issues. G/L on your sale.
