Hello everyone. Here's my 93 Competition Yellow Mica. The paint has seen better days, as there is fade on the rear bumper, roof and trunk, but i'm relative happy with it overall. I bought the car from a friend back in May of this year. He let it go to me for 15k. Since then I've put about 3500 and a lot of time into the car, and still no where near where i'd like it to be. I'm actually contemplating selling it.... She's going to need a rebuild in the future, as a have no paperwork supporting a rebuilding being done previously, and she's got 111k on the clock.

Currently.. I'm Woking through the following Issues.. Feel free to comment. Not asking for help yet, but I've done a fair share of searching...
#1. When I changed the Alternator, and switched over the lightweight pulley the following happened.... Oil Pressure Light came on, low coolant light came on, ABS light came on, and the Charge battery light came on. I'm relatively sure it's an issue with the battery terminal but haven't been successful at diagnosing why this happened yet. After testing all parts of the alternator it appears to putting out the proper amount of voltage.
#2. After installing the Flasher/ Hazards CPU the signals, horn, etc. are still not working. This is a new unit sourced from Mazada by Tasca.
Welcome!!! The cym is my dream 7. I'd love to have one in all original and unmodified condition. Yours looks amazing however and I look forward to a build thread!
