Ray Crowe has entered the building......well, kind of

I'm going to be helping Ray out on his new Vendor account he just created.

For his upcoming 'Smokin' Hot Days of Summer--Rotary Edition' sale, what requests does everyone have for parts? We're looking for ideas from you guys

Also, one thing Ray requested----- please please please communicate with him via email at HMKparts@aol.com,especially with long lists of parts. That's the only way he'll be able to satisfy the demand, if everyone calls his number he'll be very tough to get ahold of.

So, bring it on

 

Canadian/ Euro Spec. headlight washer tank (the big one that mounts in the void between the center rear brake light)

car covers

Floor mats

Rubber shift boot (heard it was discontinued)

Mazdaspeed PPF (discontinued?)
Mazdaspeed motor mounts (discontinued?)

 

Sorry, Ray can't get Mazdaspeed parts, nor can he get 99 spec/JDM parts.

 

How about a clutch rebuild package, not the clutch itself but the, fork, bearings and such...LOL..I will be needing it soon...

And for the fuel, FPD and Filter...

94 Interior parts...

 

i would say suspension parts like pillow ball bushings ect.

 

+1

 

and the upper rubber shock mounts

 

you should hit up the 2nd gen forums too, i know they are way more broke over there but some guys do throw down on decent OEM parts. I have probably a grand worth of stuff from Ray and I own a 2nd gen turbo. I bet you could get a bunch of people trying to get a brand new 2nd gen TPS. The TPS always fails.

As for the FD,

specials on all the broken interior parts would be nice, like the center console. A power window switch deal would be nice. Maybe specials on OEM engine internal seals like OEM apex, side, and corner seal/spring combos?

 

Say hello to Ray from Tom up here in Ironton Ohio. Now for the parts most folks always need...


1. Driver door pocket
2. Fuel filter
3. Fuel pulsation dampner
4. Spark plugs
5. Two turbo coolant hoses ( kit )
6. T.O. bearing/Pilot bearing/seal kit
7. 5th gear syncro/detent upgrade
8. Pillowball/seal package
9. Coolant level sensor
10. Hood latch cable assembly
11. Oil pressure sensor
12. Knock Sensor
13. Floor mats
14. Rear base speaker brackets
15. Clutch Slave cylinder
16. DP gasket


Later

 

'93 FD PARTS

1. Driver door pocket.
2. Fuel filter.
3. Fuel pulsation damper.
4. 5th gear syncro/detent upgrade.
5. Coolant level sensor.
6. Floor mats.
7. 2 Stock rear speakers.

Can't think of anything else right now.

 

Another vote for bushings...

 

1.rear upper control arm
top pillow ball joint bushing

2.heat cover for stock hood/bonnet

3.pass side window switch

4.pully bearing for air con/power stearing pully

5.pipe from air pump to cat

thanks this site rocks

 

power window switches, little triangles on the interior of the doors close to the windshield, defroster stirp at front of dashboard, full antenna assembly

front upper control arms!

ill think up more soon.

kevin.

 

Door interior stuff, and my defroster vent just cracked :'(

 

1. Pillowball/seal package
2. Interior Plastics in Black '93 Style Finish
3. Chrome Bezel
4. Driver Door Pocket

 

FWIW, the packaged "sets" seem like a good idea IMO. IIRC Ray has done some in the past. The buyer benifits from a little break in price, he's less likely to overlook something and saves a little on shipping too.
*Coolant hose sets
*Clutch "kit" packages as KaiFD3S suggested...throw-out bearing, dust seal, pilot bearing, clutch fork and rear transmission seal
*Pillow-ball bushing sets?
*Ignition "kits" could be made up...coil harness with a set of wires and plugs?
*Alot of owners like to stay with OEM filters...maybe a package deal for 3 to 5 oil filters at a time?
*How about external gasket sets...UIM to LIM, TB to UIM, Elbow to TB 'O' ring,

 

Awesome. Im glad Ray is getting more involved in the forums. I just spoke to him today. He is one of the best vendors I have ever dealt with. GL guys.

 

How about:
Door cups
AC *****
front suspension arms?

 

under hood matt (?), windshield wiper grill, front fender liners

 

Underbody plastics.
Namely Front Undertray(FD01-56-1b0C), Fender Liners(FD01-56-13ZF,FD01-56-14ZF), Rear Stakes(FD01-51-9B0B,FD01-51-9C0B) and rear underbumper cover(FD01-50-231A).

 

Does he offer a complete rebuild kit for the FD3S with all needed apex seals, water gaskets?
I will order such a kit in the near future and i really would be happy if someone offers a complete kit and i dont have to get headache if i forgot something for a complete rebuild.

Thx

PS:
Ray is cool, i ordered via phone ( with my stumbling english ^^ ) from him and after he asked me how i got the contact with him ( and i told him because of this forum ). Then he told me that i will get a better price over this forum. 1+ for ray and malloy!!

 

Hmm... I'm thinking the fuses in the engine bay would be GREAT! I'm currently 8 time zones away from my FD so I can't go out to look at exactly which size/color the ones I'm talking about are..

I just remember what a PITA it was to source new ones when my A/C Fan relay took a crap on me the other summer. I, for one, would def buy up extra's if I knew they were easily available, and running at a decent price. Same goes for the sequential turbo control solenoids..


Otherwise, I'd have to agree on interior plastics, 93 and 94+

 

Fuel and oil filters

 

You can get the MS motor mounts at Corksport. Talk to Derrick. The PPF, IIRC, has been discontinued.

 

heres my inputs

drivers side window switch (94 and up with auto up)
pillow *****
engine wire harness
solenoid kits, one that replaces all solonoids and another for those with the simplified setup.
coolant hose replacement kit
interior plastic parts that commonly break
floor mats
non bose rear hatch carpet
oil pressure sensor
external engine gasket, O-ring, exhaust gasket and crush washer kit
internal engine gasket, O-ring, seal, and spring kit
tuneup kit including fuel filter, oil filter, spark plugs, plug wires, drain plug crush washer.

kyle.
