Title: SOLD 1993 FD Montego Blue - Not running
Post by: carlb on June 03, 2014, 02:11:31 AM
1993 Mazda FD RX7 Montego Blue, clean title

Not working.  Selling as is for $8,000 obo

The problem is the engine harness wiring.  I could never get the Pez harness to work.  I also had two other issues that were fixed with the Pez harness update.  The first was the Speed Circuit problem that caused the fuel pump to not work. That was fixed by Speedware Motorsports here in Redmond.  Also, the power wire from alternator to main fuse was too small (this was done by Speedware as well) and it shorted.  I replaced with appropriate gauge.  The car ran after both those problems.  But, couldn't get the Pez conversion engine harness to work.  I have not had the time nor funds to get it running again.  Now, I'm moving and it has to go.   

The car ran for six years perfectly in this configuration before the wiring woes...

Exterior:
some dings including a chip from headlight cover, a small dent near the roofline and  missing glass in the passenger side-mirror.  The paint takes well to polishing and looks very nice.

Interior: 
the interior has been converted from tan to black (all except headliner). The front seats are redone with black leather with red stitching.  The rear bins have been replaced with JDM rear seats (very rare). 

Mechanicals:
330whp/ 330wtq
Corvette LS6 Crate Motor, bought new in 2008.  Roughly 40,000 miles on it now.
LS6 Intake
Ported Throttle Body
JTR 1-3/4" - 3" Long Tube Headers. Wrapped with Heat Tape
Y-Pipe Exhaust to 3" Magnaflow exhaust.
Hinson Subframe
Hinson Torque Arm
Hinson Bumpsteer
Corvette FPR
Eibach springs and struts
Stock Fuel Lines

2002 T56 6 Speed
Stock Clutch and Flywheel
Hinson Steel Drive Shaft
18" Racing Hart C5 3-Piece wheels (rare, has some repairable road rash)

Battery Relocated to the trunk

~160K miles on the chassis.

Swap was done at 119K.

Thank you Carl... it's in good hands I can promise you that.  Made it home safe & sound, can't wait to get it up in the air and figure out what's going on with the wiring  :scratch:

I'm certain that it's in great hands.  And, it's not so far away that I can't come visit  :D  I'm not giving up on the idea of you racing me in my old FD and I'll be in my LS2 powered e30 M3.  If you're worried about power to weight ratio, just add more power (or subtract weight...). It is a simple equation (unlike wiring).    :drive:

She did give you approval.  So...   She'll learn how to say no quickly and without equivocation soon enough.  Use the warm glow of early marriage wisely while you've got it.  8)

Matt, you are forgiven if you sell me the Datsun with RB26 for like 1500 dollars.
Title: Re: SOLD 1993 FD Montego Blue - Not running
Post by: mattster03 on June 04, 2014, 06:07:35 PM
Ah ahahah... it's an RB25DE... $1500 for that too?  :P

Datsun is just slightly on the back burner for a month or two until I get the new FD sorted out and driveable.

I saw this car at speedware while I was having my alignment done. All of the guys there took a while looking over my car and the engine bay.

Yeah, it looks like those guys screwed up a few things on this car to say the least...

They showed me what they planned on doing with the battery wiring and fuse block and it didn't make much sense to me.

Sorry, I thought I saw everyone who said the were in the PNW but never saw a post from you. The story they told me about the car was it was a new project that just had the drivetrain installed and just needed the wiring done. I didn't know it was running previously to them getting it.


They only let me look quickly at it and I never saw anything that I thought was done wrong I just thought it was odd where they mounted the engine bay fuse box.
