Body and interior minimal of course, but a functioning set of sequential BNR's would be great. Even at 10k, I would be looking at the FPD and other known issues.

Really glad you got another FD Rich, and you took the cake with this one.

Thanks guys

I have an Efini Y-pipe on the way, along with what is evidently the last Mazdatrix short shifter available out there. Also already have a Works Bell hub, and am deciding on a steering wheel.

All of these parts are easily 'swappable' to get the car back to it's stock goodness of course

In the near future I plan to install a downpipe and the RB catback along with replacing/relocating the fuel filter

P.S. Mileage just turned 12k last time I drove her.

P.P.S Dale, how did you know about the snugglin' going on during the road trip ?

Yup, I have a pile of parts ready to go if the car doesn't sell once the weather turns nice

The owner had it in his attached garage, parked right next to the house so it received heat in the winter months. It came with a blue Mazda car cover, which it spent about 98% of it's life covered by

The price was reasonable enough that I jumped on a plane with Trusty Tommy McBagel in two within a week

Thanks

I have a pretty interesting set of wheels coming in for this car..... they'll require fender rolling, which is kinda tough on a car of this caliber. But once they're mounted, I think it'll be worth it

Probably because it's worth more in stock trim than modified. And we are talking about rich here, he cant just leave things alone!!
