still have alot more work to do to the engine bay. and still need to get my megasquirt tuned. its been on my own tune for a few years now, and would really like it done by someone with more experience. but hey, i havent blown the motor or had any issues. so ive been lucky so far.
 
thanks. :) i really appreciate that. i should have it out of storage in a few weeks. and then i already have a few things ive been planning to change. have to do a few more 'euro' touch's. lol
 
what um, spoiler is that???

BTW thought I should let everyone know.......... I'm selling the white mazda after I get it running. (gonna go and grab some k mart wheel covers that AREN'T all shiny)

gonna buy the 89 (YES. 89. not 88) turbo.

why you may ask? well duh it's just a better car, AND contrary to what I thought, it DOES have cruise control and swinging vents!! and a sunroof :)

I'm excited. I mean the paint looks like crap but I'm gonna paint it gray with gloss clear then still use these new wheels I bought but make em silver :)

edit again: OH and yeah, it has 16K less miles on it than the 98 :B

Knowing Mono it's probably a super rare spoiler and there are like three remaining worldwide.

Glad you decided to ditch the 98 for the 89. Can't wait for pics.
 
LOL well I'll just have to find one made for an MX6 if they fit.

I am too..... I guess I might be able to take some pics of it today. maybe.

I'll fix up the 98 and try to sell it for $2,500 obo....... that gives me my money back, plus enough to buy the 89 and paint for it. (which for the record, is actually gonna be metallic black :))

with this paint: http://www.paintforcars.com/kits_5star_blackmet.html
 
got a few more pics of what it actually looks like (because the ones I took before made the car look silver-ish due to the surrounding snow) it's really gold, and the paint is fading and or peeling all around. otherwise the body is REALLY straight, and once I sell the other mazda I'll paint it that metallic black, and then the interior black with some gray and brushed aluminum (thinking what I could do with that color still though) accents, and hopefully even having the seats re upholstered (they're in good condition too, but I want black down the sides and gray down the middle) :)

the wheel is the stock one for the 89 of course..... the 98 has the exact same everything wheel wise, and the 89 wheel is actually a 15" wheel opposed to 14, so I'll put that on the 98 (would be better than steelies, and kinda neat/rare)

Rough idle in drive

Bump.. Anyone think if i fixed up and cleaned the white one, I might be able to get at least $800 for it?

Hi i know this is off topic but anyway I have a 98 626 2.0 and when i shift into drive the car vibrates like crazy also there is what looks like a vacuum line that comes off the top of the tranny. I have no idea where it goes could this be my rough vibration problem when the car is in drive.
 
LOL I just realized your valve cover is gold! I swear I didn't mean to copy you! :D

thats actually how it came from mazda. the high compression FE3's usually have the OEM gold valve covers stock.


what um, spoiler is that???

its actually an OEM spoiler made by a company called FOHA. it was a factory option in some of the Euro country's. mine is from finland off a car that got totaled a few years ago. and yes, it is the only one in the states PrinceValorum. lol
