These are the pieces I need. The E-brake cover is beige so that would be the preferred color.
Mazdanoob-I looked at your part out thread but didn't see what I was looking for. I am interested for the right price.

err.. can anyone say for sure the LX shifter console fits over the awd shifter ?

[1st Gen]

Yes it does. The bottom of the front end on the right side will need trimming to fit the 4wd floor, otherwise it just drops in.

perfect TY

[CODY004WD]

Yep, I had one in my 4wd too.

Not really planning on new computer management so I hope the BP 26 ECU will handle what I'm about to throw at it. 460 injectors, FMIC, VF8 hybrid. I don't have any injectors yet, at least till I answer the question of ECU compatibility.
All new threads I start will have links on page one of this work log.

Ace had no issues with the 460s with his VF10 setup using the B code VAF. Maybe he'll have something to input here. I know Jinx also ran 460s on the BP26 with the B code as well.

Found THIS
Lot's of good info about injectors/ecu/vaf, and a safc.
Found Mazkids VAF tuning tutorial

[Ace]

yeah, I've got an un opened B code and 460's. Runs great, AFR's are safe, and manages 24 ish city and 26 hwy.

[Mazda_Powered]

I'm going to guess it's because you're VAF matches the injectors lol, some how makes sense in my head.

I got the boost gauge in the mail and got it installed, then went for a drive. Boost to 10 psi till 4600 RPM's them straight to 20 psi. Was going to take a video with the wifes new Nexis 4 but ran into problems before we could get home. E9 code on the MTX-l says power issue. After charging the battery I got the car started but now the charging light is on. Hrmmm, I wired the light for the boost gauge on the same circuit as the wide band, which is wired into the cabin power. That little 10 amp fuse blew like a cheap whore. Replaced that. So far so good. I took the alternator down to NAPA and it tested bad. Got another coming on Monday, full warranty. So far so good.

I need to put a 15 amp fuse in the box, wire a dedicated ground from the battery to the little chassis framework I have both gauges grounded to, and replace the alternator. Then I should be back on the road.
