My 5th 626 of 88 flavor

Actually one of them was a turbo MX6 but almost the same. Got for 1k, not bad considering its one of the cleanest I've ever seen. The speedo is broken so it only has 112k on it! ha ha and it looks like thats all it should have. Anyway, I'd love to save it but it was an investment to resell. Hoping to get $1500 out of it. Shouldn't be too hard for a car that has all the options, that work still and looks this nice. I am going to pull the 17's that are on it and see how they look on my P5 or even the mazda5. Should be interesting.

The car looks great for being over 20 years old. I always prefered the sedans over the hatch models.

Me too. My wife won't let me hang onto it since i told her i was going to make some money. So now I have no choice. The engine bay was detailed but despite that the wiring harness's look as good as my 03 P5, detailing can't do that. Who ever owned this must of parked in a garage for most of its life.

oh the other cool thing about is it has the oem stereo with a working equalizer. I am going to pull the equalizer and put it in my 88 323 if it'll fit, since that car also has the oem stereo.

looks good. shame its not a turbo though.

Monoxide, where you on MX6.com? I was on there for the entire time I had the MX6. Name rings a bell.

Looks really good for as old as it is! The wheels are too big IMO, so I agree they would look better on your other cars!

 

[xxxmonoxidechil]

yup. been a member of mx6.com since like 01. lol. im also a mod on probetalk, and mazda626.net. im all over the place!

 

[sethro_GT]

Yeah JK, but my wife doesn't like em. The car may sell faster with them on it though. Since I didn't pay extra for them I'll probably just leave em on rather than trying to find replacements. Although, I may be able to get some MX6 GT 15's but I would have to buy rubber for them.

cool, I was s1eeper on the site, I think I joined around the same time or 02. That was a good site of information, seems bogged down now with all the ads. You know of thread anywhere outlining what is needed to use a kia sportage FE3 in a 626? I found one at the pullit yard and kicking around getting it.

truefully, its not worth it. you need quite a few parts off a FWD mazda fe3 to get the kia fe3 into a 626. you would end up spending more on the kia fe3, and the few mazda fe3 parts, them you would on an entire JDM fe3. and a jdm fe3 is alot better of an option then the kia.

check out ebay. there's always real mazda fe3's floating around on there. and usually for less then $600
