ihavetwins,

The car is lowered! It's as low as I would want it. Otherwise I won't be able to drive anywhere. lol

RE-Amemiya,

Thanks for the complement. I got the rims off another forum member. As you can see, the wheels are in mint shape! No rashes or dents at all.

Scrub,

Can you imagine I had to scale those pics down! They were much bigger before! lol
I just wanted the rims to give the car a more modern look. The body doesn't need any alterations (I absolutely hate body kits) but the original 16's looked a little small for such a potent vehicle. The optional OEM 17's give the car a more aggressive stance. The added rubber also helps with grip.
All this while keeping the stock OEM look is what I want.

Now all I need is to rob a bank or something so I can afford the Mazdaspeed diffusers from Ramy... LOL
A good possibility I'll order the 99 spec Nardi steering wheel as well...

Thanks guys...

Lets see some more pics!

Lates,

 

you sellin those black recaros?

 

HAHA.. not on your life. I do keep my eyes out for them though. know how much you guys like dumping money on JDM stuff.. lol

 

That's freakin awesome Rob. I love that hehe

Ship 'em to me; I'll repair 'em stateside, ship 'em back, and it'll STILL be cheaper than getting a SINGLE seat cover from Mazda (I'm serious BTW...feel free to take me up on that offer).

Good luck w/ that. They're getting REAL rare nowadays, and the ones I am finding are either beat to hell or they're REAL expensive...and sometimes both! lol. I think the Japs are finally realizing how rare these seats are...

I am www.FDNewbieImports.com (or just click on the banner in my sig a few posts above). They're under the "Products" page (along w/ a bunch of other rare JDM & Spirit R stuff Hope you have deep pockets!

I know, right? lol

Lemme know. You know I'll take care of ya

Thanks!

Ramy.. Ive been meaning to look around here for a way to have them fixed or replaced. But I will take you up on your offer If I cant find anyone here, or if I dont take a trip to Korea soon.. lol

 

NP. G'luck w/ the search. Hopefully you'll find someone

 

I got my set from Ramy and he's a fantastic GUY!!

 

Awww...I'm feelin the love Phil

 

Me too ;o) And agreed; Ramicus Britanicus is the manicus.

 

It's a '93 with 115K miles on the speedo. It has a Mazda reman engine installed 09/2000 at 87K miles. I drove it home. Yes, I only paid $4500 for it. Was it worth it? Yes!

Comments welcome.

 

Salvage title? Doenst really matter, beautiful find for a great price. Mind telling us how you got it so cheap?

Chris

 

very nice i payed 5100 for mine

 

I must have paid way too much for mine. Awesome deal for you though!!!!

 

now strip it down, clean it up, and put it back together again!

 

Looks good for the price, all the ones I see for that much are shot.

Is the compression and boost strong? I'm sure if it wasn't you may have said something.

 

Hell of a deal! Nice find

 

LSx T56 in that murr. Hehe.

 

Very good ****** deal!

Amazing find your about 10K ahead of the game no for the mod's!

 

Nice, wish they came that cheap in Southern CA. Cheapest I ever saw in my area was 9+.

 

where did you find that gem?

 

Wow. I paid 4x as much for mine. Good find.

 

oh and Fd3s4e, nice sig!

 

OK, here's the deal. It has a clean title for starters. Second, I picked it up from Atlanta, trailered it to Savannah and drove it to my house (about a mile).

I have only one reason why I got it so cheap. DIVORCE. Yup, the owner had family trouble and needed to pay for a lawyer. He told me he was tired of paying people to fix it all the time. He wasn't a mechanic and will be the first to twell you so. He aslo had trouble finding garages that would even work on it. One place turned him away when he asked for a fuel filter change.

The car had a few things wrong with it. The A/C didn't work. The driver window would not come up. The stereo just made strange noises. It had trouble idling, slightly rough but driveable. It also smokes on cold startup for less then a minute. Surprise, surprise. Well, a can of Freeze 12, a drivers window switch, bypassed the Bose amps and made the stereo work and a 1st time change ever of the air filter and the idle is well now. I never fixed the smaoke on cold startup yet........

I put a boost gauge on it and found out I was only making 4 pounds. Well, I got a leak. I went checking and did find a clamp missing on the black plastic intake tube (crossover?) right behind the filler neck. There's my boost leak I said. I didn't even test it. I saw the rats nest for the first time and gasped. I had broken vacuum lines all over the place. Time for a non-sequential turbo mod.

I pulled the turbo and found cracks in the casting. Some of you may have seen my other post with pics asking about them.

Even with those problems, I am WAY F**KING JEALOUS!

 

Nice find, thats what I paid for mine 8 years ago..
