What have you had to replace on your FD?
Since buying your beautiful 3rd gens, there have obviously been things that have gone wrong. This thread isn't about what you've upgraded but what has broken from either beating on it to hard or just because. What have you had to replace on your FD since you bought it, what has gone wrong?

Engine (rebuild)
Transmission (rebuild)
Turbos (under warranty)
Clutch/pressure plate (because of psychotic chatter)
Driver side motor mount
Rad (punctured)
All coolant hoses
Intake Thermosensor
AST cap
Drivers side rear caliper
Rear pillowball busings
Multiple Bose amps
Bose headunit/cd (damn bose)
Sunroof weather stripping
Shift **** (cause the leather self destructed)
Front bumber (because of nasty sagging)
Paint
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. All this $$ just to end up with a stock car that works like new. Gotta love an early 92 build date.

radiator, radiator hoses, front half of engine (don't ask), exhaust
have owned the car for about 1 year (18k miles). seems like I keep running into things I have to replace cause the previous owner never knew what the hell they were doing.

Plugs, wires, coils, fan switch, fuel filter, new tires, seat skins, dash vents near window, dome light cover, radio, headlight cover, bumper cover and waiting(over a month) on hood+fender to arrive from ASI so I can put a fresh coat of paint on it.

Bought the car stock at 65,000 miles with new engine, nothing but problems first year.
Blew the motor from thermostat broken.Catylic converter fried my turbo's,aftermarket alarm was tapped into my AT tranny ECU power wire, and wouldn't go into fourth gear,thought it was a bad ECU, just bad alarm installed,and the power window's broke the control arm for the window.
main things replaced,
thermostat
motor
turbos
tranny X2
rear main seal X2
map sensor hoses
Misc. vac hoses when they went bad
oil pan gasket
ECU X 2 auto and manual
few sequential selinoids
FPR
headlight cover's
cigar lighter
slave and master cylinder
drive shaft
clutch/flywheel
differential and seals
AC compressor
odometer
window switches X3
window control arm
tires/rims
catylic conveter's
radiator and hoses and lot's of other stuff
i have Mazda service reciepts that add up to 35,000 dollars. One good thing it was stock, and i had a aftermarket warranty, with $50 deductable,it just sucked that i couldn't replace the parts with aftermarket parts, i felt that i didn't want to void my warranty with altering from stock form.Warranty is gone now, and now i spent sh&t load on aftermarket.
