It Runs!!!
I finally started up my car. After 5 months of work...well, maybe 1 month of work, and 4 months of sitting I couldn't boost it at all, I still need another fuel fitting since I broke one of them, but I just had to hear it run again, so I epoxied the fitting to the carb. It held for long enough to tune the idle before it started a small leak and I turned it off. The fuel fitting have to be special ordered, metric thread on 1 side, -AN on the other. Luckily Robert(www.rotaryshack.com) had another one lying around and he shipped it to me, it'll be here early next week. Once that's here my car will be on the road again! I was very suprised at how easily the car started. The engine had not been turned over in 5 months, and it started right up once the fuel started flowing through the lines(3 secs at most). I have some information on my setup at www.cardomain.com/id/coldy13 In a week or two I will update that site with new pictures of the completed car. Just one more week until I can start driving it again

Everyone will probably laugh at the pictures Everything right now is just functional, I havn't taken the time to actualy make it look good yet. I still need to finish the exhaust, right now it's just a downpipe and presilencer, but it will only take a day or two to finish it. It's great having free access to a very well stocked machine shop

Tennis, anyone
hey man, i can see the mazda logo on the stereo, but i have not seen a 84-85 7 with a pushbutton stereo like that. and the vent,recirc. controls. It doesn't look like anything i've seen. My 84 -SE's controls are all pushbutton no slider. It just looks way different. what up ?

It's the base model stereo and vent contros... Our 85 base had the same thing, but I put in the stock stereo and amps from my -SE parts car...
The odd thing is that the base stereo doesn't have the eq. just the radio and casette...
That's also a Series 1 steering wheel if I'm not mistaken...

The EQ on the stereo did come stock, the car is an '85 GS, no sunroof. The steering wheel is from a Series 1, the stock one was very torn up and I found this one for cheap, I also like the 4 spoke look better. The dash is black, seats are grey, and the carpet is blue/grey. Just a few more days and it'll be on the street again

Major thanks go out to my dad and Robert(www.rotaryshack.com) Without them supplying parts for me I probably wouldn't be finished until next year.

Congrats mate, love the car. There's just something about a blow-through turbo on a 1st gen... cheap, simple and effective. Especially with the Nikki carb! Plus the fact that you're doing the work yourself makes it even better.
