After much headache and being jerked around by shipping companies, the car formerly owned by txmzdspd2gen is now officially mine. It arrived here yesterday evening while I was at work so my parents took care of the delivery.
I was going to check it out last night after work, but my dad said the alarm is very touchy and I didn't feel like waking the neighbors. So this morning I took a nice walk around and took a few photos.
He included the original black plastic gauge surround and console trim pieces. I'll probably swap those back on sice I'm personally not a fan of the silver paint.
Found this in the glove box. Authentic RSR springs.
I think the driver tried disconnecting the alarm siren since it would go off over every bump in the road. He ended up just disconnecting the battery and probably forgot to put the intake back together.
Got the intake back together and took off all the blue wire loom. Again, not a fan of it and I think it looks much cleaner without it. I'll also swap my Mazdaspeed strutbar onto this and put that DC Sports bar on my '98.
And my trunkful of goodies. Original front bumper with all support stuff, steering wheel, grille, headlights, interior trim pieces, hood scoop seal thing, and rear bumper skirts. I thought they were genuine, but I haven't found any part numbers on them and it looks like they're made of fiberglass. I have a project in mind for those in the future.
I was going to take her for a quick ride around the neighborhood this morning, but the battery is dead. I hooked up a charger and the alarm went nuts. The remote didn't work to shut it off and there's no way to simply disconnect the siren. I ended up snipping one of the wires and will probably leave it like that until I can either get this remote working or get a new one.
That's it for now. It's 90+ degrees out already and like 600% humidity so I'm not sure how much I'll get done before work. But I do have tomorrow off and will probably spend the majority of my day with the car.
