First pics of my $500 GTUs... 16 pics, 56k no way.
 

Excuse the leaves, it's fall in New England and we had a hardcore storm last night. I bought her with no wheels, as two weeks before, some fuckheads stole the wheels, radio and shift knob. (He must have had a ricer knob on it...)

Here's the first problem... Broken mirror. I have the broken off piece, but I figure it will be easier to just buy a new one from one of you fine people:

Here's my phiggety-phat rims that enabled it to get on the tow truck...

No FTPs, but I found one inside, so I have to get the other one...

Problem number two... The front drivers fender is rusted out pretty badly...

Yay! Door panels!

Here's the bag of spare parts that came in the hatch... There's an assload of interior parts...

If anybody wants to tell me what button is missing on the cluster surround, I'd appreciate it.

Here's my missing radio and shift knob. :D

And here's the rear passengers fender with it's wonderful rust/bondo....

So, two out of four fenders suck, the engine is losing coolant, and I have to fix up some of the other stuff. I'm taking the 13B out of this, rebuilding it, porting it, and putting it into my FB. As for this, LS1 and T56 coming soon, and since those two fenders are fucked, I might go wide body, or at least do the flares on the back. Overall, I'm happy with it, and think I got a pretty good deal.

Damn, For $500 you scored!! Nice lookin 7!

the missing button is for the rear wiper control.....atleast on my t2....for ur GTUs?...hmmm...maybe NOS?

Ahh, so it's probably a dummy button or something. Thanks.

*starts thinking of interesting things to put there with a "secret" button... No, not naaaawwwwsss*

Looks good.

PM me if you want a mirror.

Here's the engine... It has a brand new water pump and some hoses were replaced. The guy I bought it from said it has a blown apex seal, but it runs fine. I'm thinking coolant seal, but I'm going to do all the tests anyway.

Oh yeah, I'm pulling the seats out, fixing the stitching that's pulled, re-dyeing them black, and putting them in my FB. This will get some sort of aftermarket seats, or maybe Miata or RX-8 seats.

I think you got a better deal on your tII ;)

Yeah, me too. :D

Love the leather interior option and the manual windows....so Luxurious :)
But overall great find!!

ok,all i can say if fukkin sweet,a s5,with a black interior,,first of black interior,,rare,,s5...hard to find in new england(i live here,i know trust me) and loosibg coolant..get a new radiator,,if u decide to sell it LMK

Damn, looks like fun, congrats.

Why does that s5 have a s4 manifold?

the center interior thingys s4 too

I was about to ask that too.

I'd check the differential and see if it's the 4.3... otherwise I think you didn't score a true GTUs. :( If if it's not, you've got a pretty sweet deal for $500. :D

and s4 center console??

i didn't know the GTUs could come with leather seats... i guess your right, dealer option...

I think he switched out the center console, because I have one that's a bit broken in the hatch. It's definitely an S5, it has the automatic seatbelts.

I'm wondering if it was an earlier theft recovery... I just looked at the door sticker, it was built in 89... But it has an S4 gauge cluster (like it matters...), and the current radio surround is S4, but I have all sorts of S5 parts in the back. It's like Frankenstein's monster.

Since someone stole the radio and shift knob, they probably ruined the S5 center trim pieces during removal. S4 and S5 trim are interchangeable.

As for the engine... I've never seen an S5 with an S4 engine. Maybe this particular car had been built with the S4 engine, or someone put in an S4.

Nice find regardless.

yeah the leather interior damn... didn't even realize that was an option on the GTUs

Looks pretty slick. I say good find :)

How does it run?

iSP33D-for-J3SUS :bigthumb:

Like shit. Clouds of white smoke, the guy said he "couldn't keep water in it." It runs though, and drives around well enough that I've moved it around on my property no problem.

The whole engine appears to be S4. What size rims does the door tag say?

didnt GTUs come wit power windows?

Nope!

Also, it has a S4 AFM and what appears to be a S4 TPS? Did someone do a full S4 electronic swap on that including dash harness and gauges/etc!?

That's a nice deal bro. It's got to be worth at least $500. Sorry to hear about the theft though. Some people....

Can't be too bad for $500.

Good luck!

I just want to know the story behind it, kind of curious to see a S5 with a S4 engine, s4 electronics, various S4 interior peices, and etc!

frankencar....

how much of a gtus is it if it has an s4 engine? im confused

Well, if it has more s4 pieces than s5 couldn't it be an s4 with s5 parts instead of the other way around?

iSP33D-for-J3SUS :bigthumb:

True that, though the build date would lead me to believe otherwise. We need more info damnit!

Build date is 3/89. It has the power seatbelts too, which says it is an S5. I am assuming it's not the original engine. I went under the car today to look at the rear end, but I can't tell the difference.

is there a way to know what year the engine is? i kno the hondas have the year stamped acouple times near the exhaust manifold

What's the tire size spec on the door label? That'll give some ideas. So will the VIN #, sure is weird!

Alright, I'll go check. I gotta take the dogs out anyway.

Door sticker doesn't have wheel size, but it has tire size... 205/55VR16.

Yeah, that's the GTUs/TII tag then, that's one mixed together vehicle! Wonder what carfax says?

Yeah, I am wondering what the fuck happened too... But, it doesn't really matter anyway... The engine is coming out, probably this weekend, then it will sit around waiting for the LS1.

Can somebody show me a picture of an S5 interior so I can compare it? I am going to just do a custom gauge cluster anyway, but I'm wondering what the difference in A/C controls looks like.

S4 -> http://www.mazdamark.com/FCS4Logicon.jpg
S5->http://www.mazdamark.com/FCLOGICR.JPG

Pics from Icemark's site.

Ah, so they are basically the same. It's just the AC vents in the center that are different then?

I have both an S4 surround (which is installed right now) and an S5 surround in the hatch. So, if anybody wants an S4 surround (and I think it's pretty much perfect), let me know. I like the S5 better.

Can't complain much for $500, however that 4.3 diff will KILL you with a LS1, but good thing everyone wants them for there rotaries, could probably get some decent $$ for it.

Have you found an LS1/T56 yet? I've been keeping my eyes open, but I don't really want to spend more then $3500 or so for a <80K mile or so 98-00ish f-body pullout, and I've been seeing them for more like 4K on ebay. I don't have the cash to buy it if I found it anyway, I still have to sell off all the parts I don't need on the TII for some money to get the project going.

want my stock t2 radio :D anyways that damn gtu looks EXACTLY like my t2 weird. leather interior and all....

I found a full-pull LS1/T56 here for $2900 a couple months ago, but because I wasn't sure when I'd get an FC, I passed on it. I'm sure another one will pop up sometime.

hey man i bought an s4 n/a for 200. i live in boston. meet up sometimes. round spring or summer. by then we might have things together. and race on 93 haha

The GTUs is know to have a few "parts bin" stuff from Mazda. Do you have snaps for the hatch cover behind the seat (in the carpet), but no mounts on the speaker covers?

Also Mazda still sells the Turbo II/GTU-S centercaps for those rims. Don't toss the RIMS, they're a bit rare.

$100T2

My 89 GTUs Vin number starts like this -- JM1FC3312K0700???
so your should compare.

Also here is a few pictures of my 91TII inside to help you. If they don't work I will pull it out side and take better pics.

Also check your pms for rear end info

thats a s4 motor in a gtus car? And how dare you come on the forum and isult the true rotor heads with talk of a ls1 motor for that car. youshould absolutely be ashamed of yourself. just kiddin"
