Is there someone driving a really clean black FB that lives near the Woodstock area?

I saw one on Highway 92 last week in the heart of Woodstock, by Trickum Road.

reason not to call your local mazda dealership for rx7 parts...

called rick case mazda over on pleasant hill last week to see if they had front cover gaskets available, after 2-3 minutes of waiting, he says..."it's the same as a valve cover gasket, right?" had to tell him no and then ordered the front cover from atkins.

The guy at Pearson Mazda in Richmond always smiles when I walk in, and always says "damn, I can't get stuff for a 5 year old 3" when he finds what I'm after. Then I remind him that the 1st gen Rx7 is the apex of Mazda achievement, which is important to the Japanese.

It doesn't take much intelligence to be a parts guy at a Mazda dealership.

Look it up in the catalog.

Tell the customer it's not available but you can get it "special order".

Charge customer 3X list price.

Call the customer 2 days later, say the part is in and take credit for the fast delivery.

Except when u go on a Monday and they tell u it's going to be here the next day, wait til Friday to give them a few extra days and go to pick up...guess what, not there and had to wait another week.

Save some money, time, and headache by just ordering via Atkins, racing beat, mazdatrix, or any other vendor. My front cover and oil seal came in 2 days from Atkins and was $36 shipped versus $53 plus tax if I ordered from Rick Case.

I've got a lead on some heat shields for my 84 GSL. Is the shield that goes up against the passenger floor, the same on either of the 12a or 13b cars?

Hunan, 11:30, Friday, for an MSG fix. Does this work, Ray? Anyone else need some MSG. It's a great preservative. Look what it has done for Ray and I.

Guys quit whining about your OEM Mazda Parts and order them from Paul at Mazmart. Mazmart: Your wise choice for Mazda parts. In business since 1980. He practically has all the Mazda part numbers memorized. Anyway, that's where I have been getting my OEM parts and have them the same or next day to pick up. They'll beat the best prices too. Plus they have great aftermarket upgrade products from various vendors too.

And, if your free come out to Mazmart Saturday, October 26th at 9:30AM until?? for a Mazda meeting. Yes, if you are just now reading it's today.

I went to this because I wanted that "ghetto blaster" in the pic (didn't get it) but yea they had like 3 trans, keg, and other parts plus pics of a fb in storage. The owner is dead and I don't think these dudes (estate sales guys) know anything about them. What I know about these sales is that whatever don't get sold pretty much get tossed
But I told the dude I'd post it here and it's ok for whoever to give him a call.
