    What he said.

      i picked it up today and im blown away at how amazing this car is!!! under the hood is quite sad, it looks like the valve cover has been bad for the last 50k miles, there is dried rusty water splashed over the motor from the cracked radiator. ill clean it up though.

      anywho, the trunk had the carpet, the partical board that the carpet is attached to that goes over the spair tire with all of the support pads that are glued to the bottom of it so it doesnt sag, the unused spair tire was held down by the original bolt, the factory jack was held down by the original bolt and it had the tire iron in its sock and the tool to use the jack... it also had a little black bag with goodies in it that says vancouver mazda on it so it came with the car 15 YEARS AGO!!! including a can of fix a flat, nu touch tire shine, 2 mini medical packs, a flair, and a HELP sign ( on the back it says CALL POLICE , also as mentioned all the splash guards are there... this car is amazing... ill get pictures asap (i have to work tomorrow, so maybe monday ill get some up... its going to be hard to let this gem go!
      There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

        My 1990 SE has (I sold it at 201k) around 210k miles on it with an automatic transmission and it runs fine. I also raced it frequently during the 20k miles or so I drove it.

          I changed the fluid in mine often, if you use quality fluid (such as Castrol) it will last longer and shift smoother. The TV cable adjustment is also critical, I had to work on that to get it to shift smoothely (After replacing)
