Dont forget that pesky FPD.

tanx guys will do

 

Is regular vintage red in the engine compartment or is that some JDM red we dont have?

 

Yes it will. You just need to modify 1 connector and lengthen the coolant temp sensor wire. My car runs fine with a JDM harness

 

At least the '92-95 JDM harnesses should work fine. The later harnesses are quite different.

BTW, that's good to know about the JDM harness.

oo how do i find out if my car is pre 95

its does have dual oil coolers like and r1/r2 model

anyone???

mike

 

woops

 

I think you should just paint it VR, and throw in some tan seats.

 

You should be able to determine the year by deciphering the VIN stamped on the firewall, right?

If it's a US car, it was made 93-95. In Japan, they started as model year 92, and made the cars until 2002. Model year 96 in Japan was an update, as was model year 99. Think of the update like the '89 update for the FC's - some cosmetic changes, underhood changes, etc. In '96 they went to the 16-bit ECU with the black control box under the intake manifold - the wiring is TOTALLY different, and the ecu plug is totally different.

I need that empty front clip, my radiator support was damaged in a frontal collision.

 

ok

i change the plugs, drained all the fluids, and replaced the belts

got the car out of storage and back in my garage

only thing left to do is drain the old gas check all wiring harness connector and replace oil cooler hose ( which i need if anyone has one!!)

here a pic i took this morning



mike

 

good luck man, btw beautiful cym, makes me want one

 

Damn I'm suprised no one said anything about the oil. !

 

I would like to second that.

 

haha dude its water, i already drained the oil

im not that senseless

mike

 

hey mike let me guess, you got the engine hoist and leveler from harbor freight??? same **** i got. it works and it wasnt expensive at all. anyways i see everything is coming along nicely. cant want to see it all done. good luck

 

The engine you bought is a 92-95.It has the old y-pipe instead of the "newer" that came for 96+ engines.Also,please check everything before you put it to the cym.It will be a pita to take it out and in again.When i bought a jdm one,i removed everything to a short block state,checked almost everything,did the hose job,cleaned the injectors,etc,and still after the installation to the car,a few minor probs came up....(but a 8.8 compression :-) ).

 

Buy a new radiator support, it isn't that expensive and getting the old one off the car will screw it up more than it is worth.

 

haha

*ding* ding *ding* we got ourselfs a winner!!!!

yeh itr was like 250 for the hoist, casters, and leveler

i dont pull motors all the time so i didnt see the point of buyin those 700+ hoist

yeh its comin along motor is goin in today i hope

mike

 

yeh did that

im expecting some setbacks , but its koo im learning on the way

thanx for your input, helps

mike

 

OK, I give up. What is "CYM?"

---- Bill

 

CYM = Competition Yellow Mica, Mazda name for that yellow.
VR = Vintage Red
MB = Montego Blue (looks green to me)
BB = Brilliant Black
SS = SilverStone or SSM = SilverStone Metallic

I haven't seen many people refer to the white FDs with a 2 letter abbreviation but it is called "Chaste White" IIRC.
