Ray- Yes sir, I received the calanders in good order. I have yet to deliver them to their intended owners. Maybe this weekend I will make the rounds.

Thanks again for the work involved.

The RX-2 is off for a long, rainy drive to a faraway land. Well, it will be tomorrow. Definitely not local.

She did it. She gave up on a new rotary powered car coming out anytime soon and bought this



Finally an all Mazda all Rotary family again!

Nice! Probably a good call. I'll be surprised to see another rotary hit the US

Thanks all. Now I can get us 12.5 more 12A equivalent points at our Monthly OGTA meetings. I'm not sure of the Trim package Dave. It has the front appearance package front bumper cover, but not the rear. Other than that, it is pretty basic. Nice car, I am enjoying driving it.

This is what happens when you buy cars from under the bridge.

Thanks, Ray. I'm shooting to fix everything that I can think of, so the do it one and take all summer route sounds good. It's going to be finished before ZoomFest, I know! (besides paint, moving out kind of kills that)

That RX7 owner's survey sounds interesting...

Side note on the Boinger scene, Maxine's throwing that code loud and proud, and I believe it's ******* with my power output. The engine does not pull as cleanly or as strongly as it did before the light came on. I should replace those o2 sensors (Frickin' three of 'em!), but at the same time... Wanda needs a parking brake that works. Ray is going to say I should play favorites.

That is all.
Thanks. When my CEL came on for the same thing as yours, I didn't notice any power loss or anything. Then again, mine was for the knock sensor and the O2 sensor, but I read that the 02 throws the knock sensor code too. Did I mention that it's still off after ~500 miles? lol.

That's awesome. First Kristy gets the FC, then Alan and now you get an RX8. Cool cool.

On a random note, I got to drive my aunt's '08 Tahoe tonight. I've never driven such a huge boat, but it was pretty cool. I felt like some little punk who's parent's give them nice new cars when I pulled up to the gas station... haha.

And tomorrow's FC day. Working in Jim's and just possibly pulling the motor out of mine!

Hopefully you are also one of those punk kids whose parents give them a gas card. My last fill up in the bronco was $78 . Tahoe is gonna be similar.

Right you are, it was $65. That's better than my cousin's RX350 though, I followed her down there to use the same gas card and she was using premium @ $2.969/ gl...

The April OGTA meeting will be held in your honor if you can make it Kevin, be good to see you!

Speaking of gifs Crit, the one in your signature is acting kind of strange. Can't tell if it's a hood popping up, or a lap top or a pair of eye glasses.

Ok, so fuse is good. With the wiper stalk in position 1, I get continuity to ground on one wire in the 4 wire plug. In the next position, that moves to a different wire. All what I expected so far (after what Crit said). Third position, no ground on any wire. And I'm never getting 12v on any of the wires either.

The other connector under there was also a ground. Can't remember what that was for.

So, yeah. Gotta figure out where to go next.

One may be a temporary ground on a timing relay for the delay. Once you ground it, it'll come and go over time.

Ahh, I think I see what you are saying Crit. The 3rd ground would be intermittent. I honestly forgot how the wipers worked in that car. Never had them working . Probably intermittent, slow, and fast.

The no 12V any time there though seems to be a problem. Does the switch just do grounds, or does 12v pass through there too?
