I'm in bdorf and im a certified technician.

 

Well buddy!! if ya wanna help gimmie a call ill shoot ya a PM with my number.. I did lots of the work yesterday.. so all thats really left is bleeding the clutch, installing the UIM and throttle body, all the vacume lines, and fuel lines, then the intercooler and wiring.. a solid 2-3 hours of work thats all....

After that I have to bolt on my front bumper and bolt on my hood!! ha ha whoopie doo right??? id love to have it running within the next 2 weeks.. however it being on the street running superstrong im not too sure since im not a good tuner... Yet!!! A-Spec ill be there soon!!!

 

junk yard alert: 2nd gen at U-Pull-Apart in Milan il.

 

How torn up is it and is it a TII?

 

I listed everything that was wrong with it.

The big reason i sold it was b/c I was going to VA for a 1/2 year and had a FD too. That didn't allow me enough time to work on both and i still needed a winter car.

 

yeah, is it a TII???????????????????????

 

any of you guys ghave a mazda wiring diagram for the negine harness?? my wiring on my car is going haywire!!

i have no odometer at all it just lights up.. when i installed the PFC back in the car still no power to it... i think im missing something but since this is the first RX ive ever done im skeptical at my skills ha ha!! anyone have an idea?

 

im off tomorrow. if i have any free time after my tattoo appt and selling the wideband, ill give you a call.

 

I worked alot with the FD engine harness.

I took a J-spec series 6 harness and put it in my car (Warning: not a bolt in!) so I know the harnesses pretty well. Still remember the damn BR/W wire on the Jspec harness.

I also did the non-seq before I went single. If you don't know what your doing just leave the solenoids plugged in.

LOL most likely that is a little too late tho


Best thing to do is look at the Factory Service manual and get a multi-meter.

I really liked the manual and saved me alot of time - very good investment if you plan on keeping a FD.

Since then I went haltech I got rid of my old factory harness.

One of many reasons PowerFC's blow.

FD harnesses are horrible and should be replaced if you want to have a reliable car. They are just too brittle and break or short out.

 

unfortunately no ... there is still a few usable parts left on it though .

 

im darn tempted to buying a brand new harness from mazda..

 

I think they are about 600-700 through ray.

about 1k thru oem dealerships.

They are not cheap.

Might as well buy a haltech for that amount of money.

 

yeah, ill makemine work! ha ha my neighbor got me a schematic of the wiring so that helps out alot.. i just cannot get my odometer to power up and it bothers me..

 

Anyone know of a decent mechanic that can put in a rear main seal for me? I'm busy studying for exams and don't have time to do this myself, but I prefer to get this done sometime soon and with a mechanic in the Des Moines area otherwise I might look into doing this in the Spring. I heard transmission shops can do this for a reasonable price, but then again that's just word of mouth.

 

just noticed a black 3rd gen in moline . it is for sale and is by blockbuster video .
it said on the sign that it was a twin turbo. looks decent ... just in case one of you was looking for one <.<

 

Other then the front end damage and the asking price, its clean.

 

AHHH!!!! i want one! black specifically!
how much were they asking??
could someone cruise by it and get a couple pics??

 

Is there going to be fall get-together? I haven't seen anything and I've missed the last few get-togethers. If there is, I'll hold off on my next project (A fuel system rebuild) so I can attend.

I'm also trying to get rid of these.

If an RX7 owner wants them, I go as low as $200.

I wouldnt count on much...we dont seem to get together too often...
plus, when we plan something, more than half the people who "say" they are going to attend, dont.

 

I saw those rims and I was thinking "man, I wish those were 4x110." I can always just invite all of you guys over to my place for beers again. I'm not gonna be in town this coming weekend, but how about next weekend? Who's in?

 

I'd love to go to a meet sometime, would be fun. I've got weekends off now, so that's awesome.

 

that blackone is only about 2 blocks from my house..hes asking 14,500 for it.. but its clean tho.. but not to burst the bubble on the sign he has on it.but all the 3rd gens were twin turbo..

 

Where would the meet be? I traded my FC for a fairly clean FB, so I can show up to meets.
