NEW BABY

Post by Timmie_g »

Well all just thought I would let you guys know about the new member of the family.

I am now the proud owner of a Blaze Red 1993 MX-3 GS Special Edition. Its got 216 000 kms on it and I am the second owner. The leather is mint other than a small spot of wear on the drivers side outside bolster. I never knew how much more comfortable a set of 1st gen seats were over the 2nd gen ones.

All the power options work, and everything is still factory original. All the srevicing was done at Mazda dealerships and according to records, the wave washers were replaced becasue of noisey camshafts at 200 000 kms.

I used to be a 4 cylinder guy so im not sure of the problems connected to the K8. If anone could tell me what to look out for it wold be greatly appriceated.


Tim

There was a factory recall on those leather seats.

I'll have to come up there and dispose of them for you.
