Any stock FD owners in the northern MD/DE/southern PA/Philly region?

Subject is the question. If so, I have a favor to ask - I need to take a close look at your stock (or nearly stock) FD and snap a bunch of pictures, mostly of the under hood areas to get a good reference on how Mazda packaged the cooling system & factory A/C plumbing. I picked up a nice single turbo FD a few months back that I'm modifying to better suit my needs, and restoring a working A/C system to it is on my to-do list. If you're in the area and can help out, shoot me a PM.

Cheers,
Pete

Mines completely stock, with working AC and all OEM parts. I live in Northern MD, about an hour from Elkton. Once this virus hysteria goes away, be glad to help.

Thanks Rob. In the good old "normal" times, I typically get out to the local cars & coffee events or Hunt Valley Horsepower on the weekends with my FC and now the FD. Maybe we can meet up at one of those when this quarantine crap blows over.

If you guys don't mind I would love to jump on this meet up once we are cleared. I too will be restoring a 94' that had the motor removed, disassembled, and COVID hit and the owner needed cash. All of my focus will be where each bracket, nut, bolt, stud, harness routing needs to go... The rest of the car is MINT, thank goodness!!! I am in Newark, DE just of 95.

Nice, you practically live next door to me. Are you trying to bring it all back to stock or is it modified? My FD is currently under construction - I probably should put up a build thread at this point. Keeping it single turbo, but with all the COVID spare time I have, in addition to restoring the A/C, I'm in the process or rewiring the Link ECU to support the OMP (with an RA adapter so I can run premix thru it via separate tank), and using the Link ECU to restore cruise control functionality with the OEM switch gear - I have a GM 90mm DBW throttle body that the PO put in that actually works well. Anyway, feel free to shoot me a PM to exchange contact info.
