Well guys, it doesnt seem like there is much hope for the midwest mazda's. But I'll tell you one thing, I have been looking for some ppl to meet up with. I live in FL, but I'm in the army, and they moved me to Ft. Riley, KS of all places. Anyhow as of now im in iraq, but will be back around feb of 2006, so at around that time i will be looking to meet up with ppl that share the same interest as me. All 2 of you..lol...but anyway seriously, i want to get to know some ppl around my are. BTW do you guys happen to know anybody that does good engine work for mazda's like as far as a swap. I plan on getting the rebuilt block from MAM when I get back, but dont know who to go to to install it. Thank guys and be safe.
