Wanted to say hi to everyone, my names bobby I just bought a msp, used to have a 92 Cummins but I got a kid on the way so it was time for a four door. The car is pretty well destroyed I picked it up pretty cheap but it needs work, I think one of the previous owners tried to turn it into a drag car. So you guys will be hearin a awful lot out of me the next few days. I can't wait to actually get driving this thing.
 
Hey man! im not that far from ya. But post pics so we can try to help ya out and see whats done to it or to see what needs to be fixed or replaced! :D
 
Ill try to get some pics up, its bad. I couldn't believe someone would tear a car like these apart the way he did. It'd probaiy disgust most of you guys!
 
wow it's been a month and no response for pics. Curious to really see what it looked like.
 
I smell stripped interior......which sucks

Depends on the application. To haul kids around in....hell no, they will get in every nook and cranny with those little fingers. You don't want your kids fingers getting cut, its hard to keep band aids on little ones.

Edit: Post pictures soon, im curious to see the damage.
 
it is probably just missing a few things here and there.stereo components trunk carpet. stupid s*** that isnt a huge deal. maybe it is missing the body kit or has dif rims. who knows.
 
yeah, i was super curious to see what this "MSP Drag car" looked like, so either he sold it, or said F*ck you, to mazda247... ;\
 
Na No F**k you to you guys haha, I've just been unbelieveably busy and not having a computer makes it difficult to get on here. I didn't give up on it!! the interior had almost no plastics in it. The gauge bezel, radio bezel, and plastic around the shifter was painted red. both the front seats framework had broken mechanisms. the dash has holes drilled in it and the passenger side foam peice was all cracked up. there is nothing in the trunk, and all the speakers and radio is gone. the wheels were painted bright lime green and purple at one point (keep in mind this car is yellow....) almost every suspension part up front was finger tight along with motor mounts. they must have had the engine out something went drastically wrong with it, threw it back together and said it didn't have spark so they could get rid of it, leave it to me to be the sucker. So far I've made good progress though! I have pretty much a complete interior down to all the seat belts and new bracketry for the front seats. It has a brand new pads and rotors all the way round. new control arms and tie rod ends. I pulled the 2.0 out and am in the process of putting a KLDE in it right now. I got the motor and trans for free so that was a big factor in doing the swap. The motor is now pretty much rebuilt, I have a set of KL31 cams to put in and a curve neck manifold that I am almost done porting. I have to fix the spyder gears in the transmission and then it will be ready to bolt in as soon as I finish up my wiring!! so thats the update on the mazda, sorry it took so long to reply!! ill have to see if I can have someone take pictures and put them on here for me so you guys can see what I'm working with, it looks a whole lot better now though than when I brought it home.
