Yeah wam those parts worked great so far, i only got the headlight and fnder on but will get the rest tomorow on the car.

Oh also i forgot the bolts there, hahaha, that kinda sucked when i got homw and noticed that. But its fine i only needed the ones for the fender and headlight and i will go pick some up from home depot or something

Thanks ain for the parts. I will be back up there soon to get the hood and some more things. If you get a bumper hold it for me.

well got some more down today. The seat belts i picked up didn't work, and i expected that anyways. Got the steering wheel on and the fan shroud also.

Tomorow i should be taking care off the oil leak in the oil pan gasket.

Now thats only left to do is to get the front windshield and i should be able to get this thing on the streets. I just hope it will pass emisions which it probally won't.

Oh also i took my spare throttle body and did the throttle body mod to it. And a friend of mine is going to sell me his pineapple sleeves that he bought and can't use.

Well got the oil pan gasket changed today, what a bitch. The manuals made it look so easy.

I also went ahead and change the ouil since well i had to. But I put in 4.5 quarts of Castrol GTX 20w-50 and .5 quarts MMO.

Also i noticed that one of the engine mounts was shot, once it fell apart when i removed it to do the oil pan. I switch it out with one of the spares that looked pretty decent but I will replce them soon with some stiffer ones.

Well I havn't done much to the Subaru to make it faster but just handle really well. I just need the turbo kit to make it fast.

Now the RX-7 fells faster than the Subaru but I'm not sure though. Now as far as handling goes the Subaru is 10 times better, but I will make the RX-7 handle just as good.

Now the reason I got is cause I love AWD cars but theres only so much you can do in them, so I got a RWD car also. So basically I got a grip car and a drift car now.

Seat belt rails and motors are warrantied " ... for the life of the vehicle." It is Mazda recall # 68702. You can also find it on the NHTSA web site at # 96V173000.

The original Mazda recall notice also said to call Mazda Customer Relations at 800 - 222- 5500 if you have questions or problems. The recall is so old some dealerships are unaware of it an may give you some grief. However, I have had 4 changed on two '90's with no problems.
