Here it is in close to stock form. I am offering this up to you guys first before craigslist gets it. Car has 175K on the odo. Car runs strong and all guages work. Starts right up everytime.
What I have done since I bought it from Dirtyboost:
1. I have fixed the power windows. The switch needed R+R and the motors where taken out and re-surfaced. Now they roll up and down fast and strong.
2.The exhaust leak was at the catalytic converter, so the gasket was replaced and new harware was added. No VW sounding exhaust.
3. Ebay airfilter was swapped out for a stock airbox and filter by Boostfreak(Thanks Chris).
4. The timming was advanced to 12 degrees and engine runs smooth and very strong. No valve ticking, hesitation, or idle droop.
5. Swapped out the vented hood for a uncut hood from 90MX(Thanks Mike)
6. Swapped out the Tein Flex with complete NB(tops and shocks) Suspension and added racing beat springs to them. Ride is excellent.
7. When I swapped the suspension, I noticed the Driver side LCA was slightly bent(ah why it was pulling to the left). Rplaced with a new OEM LCA. Had it realigned at Hiros. Smooth and straight.
8. Removed the Autopower Rollbar(sold).
9. Completely cleaned out the interior of cat hair. Pulled the seats out too to clean under there.
10 Added a stock heat shield on the exhaust manifold. Looks stock under the hood.
11. fixed radiator leak by replacing bottom hose with a new one.
12. Replaced old chewed out steering wheel with a new(stock) one.
13. Removed Tint from windows(that was a B!tch).
14. Car will come with a working stereo.
15. Replaced the battery with an OEM Mazda vented battery.
As you can see I have spent alot of time and some money on this car, but I really need to get rid of this thing.
As for the bad,
1. no rear window but the top is still intacted
2. Body has little dents here and there.
3. Paint is not the best, but I think it is acceptable.
4. Something weird going on with the headlights. Regular low beams work but when you flash the highs, the lights turn off and the doors close down. You will need to keep the doors open by switch and your good.
5. Car has AC but is missing the hard line,s condenser, and tank.
6. Driver seat is torn on the bolster.
7. Rear finish panel has a damage
Asking $2100 OBO does not include the rewinds. car will have daisies.
