Well I had this truck 4 years and it is done...
Here is what I had done to it so far

I have about almost 40K on mine sence I converted it to a Rotary...
BTW I am pretty sure mine would have out hauled any miny truck even with a ton of weight in the bed...

I built this truck as a shop truck till we bought a 96 F250 last year...

88 MAZDA B2200
Supercharged 13-B

Eng 87 Turbo 13-B
Camden 7inch
Holley 390
86-88 N\A RX7 transmission

Chassey ALL stock
Rearend stock 390 gears
miles on the chassy 196k
3 ton Air bags in the rear to haul weight

Millage on the chassey is 197XXX


I was rearended last night on Meridian @ 5:15 PM heading home from work the tail gate was closed and it shoven the bed of the truck into the cab....
I am gussing the speed of the 00-04 F-series to be about 40-45MPH...
the driver seat is broken from it..
the front went into annother car that had a a wheel chair lift on it, and put the center of the bumper almost to the radiator ...

So I an now looking for another Mazda B-series that has been allready converted to a Rotary.. If you know where there is one please let me know as I will be needing another one.....

as I dont know how to post photos here on the forum and you know how would you be willing to send me your e-mail address and I will send you photos here shortley...


here is a list of events this truck went to
SevenStock 7,8 & 9
all 3 of the NW toy drives
many of the izzys meets
2 BIG BBQ's
and the BBQ that was held last year in Renton.
and one mini truckin show...

too bad about the truck, but are you OK?
We were cruising out meridian about that time on the way to yakima via white, must have just missed it...

 

ouch
sorry to hear that dan hopefully you find a replacement

 

Yes I am still breathing I have a sore back but you allways have to look on the bright side of thigs like this, Like every one walked away...

I will give Mazda all the credit thay want on building cars & trucks ..That that know how much sheet metal to use and when it comes to getting wrecks you will 99.9% of the time walk away..
I have seen worse with the 7s and I think this is the worst B-series that I have yet to see ..

The only RX that I saw was a 81-83 1st gen chassey that was gold...

BTW I did have my seat belt on, as you never know what will happen next on the pavement...

Dan

 

Sorry to hear about your truck Dan. Glad that you are ok.

Now this time thay will have to replace it for sure...

Dan

 

Oh Damn! I though I saw your truck last night coming form picking up my fiancée from work but I only realized it was your truck once I was already crossing Fred Mayer from my side door mirror of my Tiburon, however; didn't notice you except some other guy standing next to the truck. Man, sorry to hear that, I did like that truck. I could had spotted you from anywhere with that truck but now will have to see what kind of replacement you will get. Well the most important thing is that you are ok.

 

Glad you are OK, Dan...Sorry about the Loss of the "loved one"(truck)..you can always Build another one,but it would be hard to replace YOU.

 

damn. that sucks. make sure you make it to the doctors to get checked out for whiplash. hopefully you will find a better truck with a lumber rack on, oh yeah. king cab for the future little one.

 

sorry to hear the truck didnt fair so well, but glad you walked away allright.

 

Dang, that was one sweet truck. Glad you're alright, though.

Is the motor OK?

 

I went to the ER on thersday night to get checked out...
the motor is fine and will be back in another B-series truck...

Thanks again for the kind words...
Dan

 

hope you get well soon dan, sorry to hear about the misfortune.

dammit dan!!! i allways liked your truck.... it was cool and unique.

 

I remember seeing it at SSIX and it has made me want to do that swap, hope to see another one at SSXI

 

sorry to hear bout the truck, that really sucks. its good that you walked out though. get that back checked for sure, when i got rear ended by a jeep (in my corolla) i felt fine for 2 days till i felt twinges of pain in my back, found out i had a slipped disk and a hair line fracture on my L4/5 spine. 8 months and 1 surgery later, i have arthritis in my lower back at the age of 20 and i'm almost guaranteed to have another surgery for my back later on in my life. hope that everything checks out with you though!
