I fail at knowing Mazda colors

Actually, That brings up a question. In the paint codes what is K8?
I need to find that out >.>

But yeah, I hope you get the FD man. That'd be fairly 1337\
As long as you let me touch it

Oh Brilliant Back ftw. I'd hit that.

Still not sure what the color on my FC is, I mean. It is Gunmetal just not sure of the color code Mazda used.

-Shrug-

Needing a paint job with the typical paint peelage and some needed Body Work.

Hey, First. About how many Sev's are in Pull-a-part that you've spotted if you don't mind me asking? I may need to take a trip there one day. Just no idea where it is :p
I'm in the need of a couple of bits and parts.

Any 300zx or Mitspoo Starion corpses scattered around it?
Egh, I need to go junkyard diving when I get back to TN

i found a really beat up SA the other day. i past this house 1000s of times before and didnt see it, till a few days ago. its been sitting for years and years. the grass wasnt even there under where the car used to be, it turned to dirt. but he moved it like 5 feet forward and BOOM, ugly *** orange, and rust everywhere. but i might be able to buy it for like 100 to 200 bucks. not sure if i want one with that much work needed tho. we will see. i dont have anymoney to buy a nice one so i think i might have to get this one and look for another one for parts.

According to P-A-P they have 1 FC in stock and FB, But i need to get a caliper off the fc(if its 4pot), scavenge another Efan from an escort gt/taurus, and see if they have a 'newish' dodge caravan i can get a wheel off of for use as a spare for my grandmother.

if they have starquests....im ganking anythiing i can for my use on my own Conquest....dunno what you need though lol.

I have a set of spare starquest wheels in 16x7 (front pair) and 16x8 (rear pair) the one front has a bend in the lip that could be fixed, though as it is it does hold air, and the rear pair are currently unmounted, but i may use them to refinish and put tires on, but the pair on my quest are in good shape, aside from needing refinished as well.

What kind of interior or body panels do you need? I have one spare passenger fender in good shape right now, and i have one 'good' condition drivers fender currently attached to my fc. I have a pair of good condition fenders im putting on my car once i get a pair of s5 bumpers.

Welp, If you ever want to get rid of the Wheels let me know <3
As for fenders I was looking for some spares to do a little modding work on.
Interior wise I'm still working on tallying up a list.

But yeah, If you end up wanting to get rid of the Fenders or the wheels definetly let me know.

By the way, How you liking the Conquest? Alway's fancied the Starquests.

well...Id love it if i had it right now. Its at the mechanic getting the head replaced. but with fouled plugs, eating coolant/oil it was getting 23mpg with stock boost levels.

Ill definitely think about it the parts, i always need to make space, though if you need the wheels sooner look into the www.starquestclub.com forums, a set usually runs about 100~300 depending on how clean they are and the pairings (the 7's and 8s, or the 8's and 9's)

Aye, The Stocker Starion wheels > FC Stockers.

But Hey, I can always make a damn nice coffee table out of 'em Hitokiri :p

Sad to hear about the Conquest being at the Doc.
Any word on when you'll get her back?

But yeah, Thanks for considering getting rid of the parts <3

I'm in no big rush either way.

Id love to have it back before my next autocross...I need to put the 7 down for a few essential repairs before it passes tech right now. But a 'simple' exchange of heads cant take that long, not when all the 'new' parts are present and paid for already. The only hiccups I could imagine is the stock IC piping falling apart or some of the the stock rubber going to ****. But Ill give the mechanic a call after i get home from PAP, see what the prognosis is...

Oh, Autocross?
Where at? :O
Never been to an Auto-X Event nor had a chance to take the Sev on a track.

Then again, You can probably consider most Tennessee traffic as an Autocross event... I take that back.

Oh lord, The Dragon D:

That's another place I've never been. I live in TN and I've yet to explore any of the epic driving spots with my GXL.

God, I need to get some time off soon to do that.

Epic fail on my part

I need to work on locating Track's/Event's nearby here :/ Still think the Closest to me is most likely the closest to you.

Nearest we have is Drag Strips and Wartburg speedway (Once again, Curt Williams ftmfw)

Welp, Better safe than "OMFG DITCH"

You have a point, But "OMFG DITCH" Usually keeps you between the lines from then on due to the car no longer wanting to run x3

That, Or turns you into a Rally Racer "LOL Meant to do that... OMFG LAKE"
