The only things who aren't original are the exhaust and the coilovers, the gas pump is from an FD but i have the originals too. I found it in Spain, here they are not common either, this one was hard to find, the rest has lot of engine problems, this one looks fine in that aspect, for now i just had to replace two bushing of the brake reservoir and i will need to buy a new thermostat, the engine is very cold all the time so i think is broken, the sensor works fine, oh and the relay of the wiper washer buttom needs to be fixed, i think thats all. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...8c3f661357.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...92e9171d22.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...bd8237e4ad.jpg |
Welcome! The car looks great! As for the wiper issues, also read up on cold solder joints inside of the wiper switch. The solder joints fail and will cause issues with the wipers not working or not turning off.

Thanks for explanation :)
Is there a club in Spain? |
The factory coolant temperature gauge is known to be very inaccurate. If you haven't, you may want to verify that it is actually running cold with an aftermarket coolant temperature gauge. If you do replace the thermostat make sure you buy an OEM Mazda unit, make sure to properly bleed the air out of the cooling system.

Very solid advice on buying a Mazda thermostat. Be sure to install the thermostat with the jiggle pin at the 12 o clock position. I will only buy a genuine Mazda thermostat.
