Now, it just got sold to someone, probably on here, who wanted to pay more, and the seller didn't even let me know.

So, I just wanted to give a big **** YOU to the buyer.
Well it wasn't 06vmi06 that bought it, he decided against it, it wasn't me either, and no one on here has said they bought so I'm guessing it was bought by someone who saw the craigslist listing.
You might wanna reserve that FU for the seller and not the buyer, how does he know you been after it for 8 months. (you couldn't come up with a grand in 8 months?) and it's not like you let us know that you were after it either.
You should have put some money down on it even if it was a $100 just so the seller knows your serious.

Actually, I meant to put to the seller, not the buyer. I can completely understand a buyer bidding a higher price than another in order to win an item, but what bothered me is how the seller swore up and down it was a sealed deal.

First off, I don't need to explain to you anything regarding my finances.

But, if it'll put a big smile on your face, I wasn't able to come up with that money for several reasons. If you have a close family member thats not in good health, then you just MIGHT understand.

No you don't, sorry I even mentioned it.

That's your own personal business, but you're not the only one with stuff to contend with.
That aside if for whatever reason you can't come up with the money and someone else can in a short period of time, I can see why the seller made his decision.
After the experiences I had selling the FD and the S14 I won't be trusting anyone or holding a car till I see a deposit.

Wednesday night at Cap Ale House (West end) it is! I'll be there a little after 8pm, as I work just down the street.

Cell is 212-7808 if either of you needs directions.

Any other rotorhead is more than welcome to come out as well - just give the cell a ring/text so we can all meet up.

Just left you a VM, I'll be at West End tonight, a touch after 8p.

Of course I don't have tires with me tonight, since I thought this was going down tomorrow. I guess you'll just have to bring it upon yourself to drive out to the East End (horror of horrors!)

So what's the deal with the Mazda Dealership??

I went up there this morning to order some pretty common gaskets (lower intake, water pump housing, etc.), and the guy at the parts counter told me parts had been archived, as he was not able to look up price and availability. Hell, I even made it easy for him by bringing in a list of part numbers. WTF?

Anyhoo, important lesson re-learned today- stealerships suck.

Also CAP update- went up there yesterday. No FCs.

With a wider IC core, you could drop it more level (better hood clearance) and route the IN/OUT down the sides of the radiator, instead of over the top.

The hood clearance is actually perfect, (1"-2"). plus this way i can match the sides of the intercooler and radiator for sealing purposes. And its as big an intercooler as i think is necessary. maybe not. i guess once it blows up i will know
