i just got the car back in november only problems with it are drivers side wheel bearing, passengers side inner tie rod
the battery light is on but it starts right up every time not sure what is causing it
the check engine light is also on for some reason no clue why unless its a problem when you do a bp swap because your not supposed to get check engine lights with any gtx ecu

Same diff, well no not really, but I don't remember, wasn't my hood, lol! Yay for smuggling a hood across the border! Actually, once I noticed your profile said Buffalo, I recognized you from the house and the garage. Guess you stuck with another Mazda, eh? And kept with the BP's....
If you don't know, Colin had to retire his 323 because of bad rust issues. I don't quite remember where the hood went off to.
I don't think we've met through anywhere else, but as you can see, I've been here and had my Mx for quite a while. Not bad, my ZE is blown, gathering parts for a major rebuilt that I'm hoping to start shortly into the new year.
Hopefully we'll see you at some meets in Niagara Falls, even the cruise night in Lundy's Lane had alot of US cars.
