So can piston engines. Just sayin' ;). A diesel rotary does have a cool concept about it, though.

Damn, that sucks Mr. Mazda. At least the quarter panel wasn't touched. The fender and door is an easy fix when compared to fixing the aft section. At least you insurance has it covered. Good luck!

Welcome to the boards! :)

From what I can tell, the wiring looks stock. The passenger side fan operates with the A/C. If the regular fan is called on while the A/C is on, then both will turn on. The small white connetor on the driver's side is for the air A/C compressor clutch. The fan connector is just below it. It...

Yeah, I definately need more wheel. One of these days, I'll reshell the Panasports.

P1498 is an OBDII code. The older cars simply flash the CEL when placed into diagnostic mode.

Sounds like the EGR valve is indeed the culprit.

That's pretty easy to do with a good 99+ 1.8L and a Megasquirt ECU.

In my opinion, that is the best solution.

I'm not sure you'll like having the 6-speed with the stock 4.3:1 diff. You may want to consider grabbing the 3.9 diff and axles from the wrecked car as well, especially if it's a TorSen (a superior unit to the early diffs). Everything bolts up and all guess work is removed.

That's good news. What's wrong with your valve seal?

That's a good deal! It's a handy thing to have. I think mine is just about worn out, hehe.

I see your problem now. The red hose is supposed to connect to a solenoid near the other end of the blue hose. Furthermore, the red and blue lines are reversed at the EGR itself as the blue is supposed to go to the manifold. The red line, open as it is, and connected to the manifold is...

Assuming you're speaking of a stock replica, you'll probably be better off with a faux overlay as a real CF spoiler (in stock form) will net you nothing but an altered appearance and lighter wallet.

I think I see what you're referring to regarding the cut, but I can't be sure. With both hands, thumbs at the cut, try to open the cut by pulling and pressing on the hose simultaneously, albeit gently. If the hose is cut, you should see it spread with little force. If not, it may turn out to...

Welcome to the board! It's always good to see a white NA, especially with a hard top :) .

Welcome to the board! 3 motors?!? Hopefully the car is in good hands now ;) .

MSMjohn, looks like a lot of fun, FWIW. It's hard to beat working on a clean engine. Furthermore, I can appreciate the manner in which you've laid out the removed parts. Do you have any info regarding the flow rate of the stock MSM injectors? As a side note, welcome to the board! :) Keep...

Save your money for that mini-van you'll inevitably fall in love with ;) . Seriously, there's nothing wrong with saving your money as opposed to blowing it as soon as it arrives. You'll thank yourself later in life for doing so.

Cool project! I'm interested to see where this goes. Keep the updates coming! :)
