What is the difference between the original S5 OMP and current OEM S5 OMP?
The dealer says I need a new electric OMP for my 1989 RX-7 vert. They would charge me $2200 for a new one. So I felt it was worth my time to research finding a cheaper alternative. I'm now planning to buy a new one from mazmart for $750.
But when I look at the picture of a new one on mazmart or mazdatrix, the part looks TOTALLY different than the picture of a used one on ebay. Here are links to the pictures:
new one on mazmart==>http://mazmart.com/ItemDetail.aspx?id=441
used one on 915racing's store page on ebay==>http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mazda...4506.m20.l1116
The new one looks a lot bigger and beefier or is it just the angle of the 2 different pictures? If they are really different. What are the differences? Is the new OEM version from Mazda better built?
I know most of you guys on here block off the OMP and don't give a damn about replacing it! But I'm just a gal who wants to keep cruising in my convertible for a few more years. ;-)

Looks the same to me, different angles though and it's hard to see the second connector (I believe it's behind the visible one in the new unit picture)

Thanks. Now I see what you mean. The ebay picture is upside down relative to the mazmart picture. And the mazmart picture does not have the plastic omp lines connected to it.
Thanks!
Thanks!
