Yeah I think his handle is AZPARTSEXPRESS or something like that. +1 check on ebay

 

Anybody remember this Vehicle???

I had a Red one right after I got out of High School. With allterrain tires it would go anywhere...

it ran as FWD and when you engaged 4WD it locked in the rear dif

 

Subaru el camino? Now I've seen it all

 

It is a 1982 model... the jump seats in the back were something else. Not much for power it had boxer engine with the spare tire under the hood...

 

I noticed that my audio system doesn't have a MID setting. Like bass, treble and mid. I have an 07 GT model and was wondering if anyone else had this same issue? I noticed it when I was going through my GF's 05 and hers doesn't even have Bose but she has the mid setting.

 

If you want higher mid turn down the bass and treble... :P

 

Cool. What time is good?

 

LOL I'm more worried that my mid setting is missing all together. I just wasn't sure if something is wrong with my stuff or if I'm not suppose to have a mid setting lol.

 

that subie is called a brat, used to be one in my neighborhood, I'm actually pondering buying the Tamiya kit for it and making a rock crawler out of it

 

took the plunge on the alternator today, this is the place I'm getting it from if anyone is interested, I'll have pics once it's put in, so stoked!

I bet those are expensive.

 

So found out that our dashes are just about the biggest pita to remove, center console is cake though already got that painted

 

What color you going with?

BTW, this is pretty mean.

 

Anyone know where I can pick up authentic mazdaspeed kit? I have sent a email to mazda-parts already am am just waiting to hear back.

 

You will almost certainly have to get an unpainted one. Call everywhere lol

 

PM parmer8, he he can check Madzaspeed Motorsports prices.

 

So can team, he is willing but needs the part number. Dondo also PM'ed me the price he paid from mazdaspeed motorsports a few months ago. I am not sure how to get the part #s though.

 

I think this is the part number in velocity Red QSEA-50-020_-87

 

I'm just repainting the black because it was almost gray from the sun and making the gray more chrome and glossing the crap out of everything. If all goes well I should be reassembling it all tomorrow morning.
That's pretty sick, like the fact that the lights aren't murdered out gives it a little bit of balance.

 

Car looks good. Wheels and tires look like crap.....especially the tires

 

If you're talking about the alts they're actually they're not that bad, I've priced aftermarket upgraded ones before and they ranged around 6-700 bucks, this place is building me one custom powdercoated for a little over half that, not only that but they're ratings are for real, they build a superior product as far as the casing etc. as well, and they're based out of Alabama so I'm helping out a US company to boot. I'm about 98% sure my alt is on the way out anyway since my car likes to run at different voltages at times, sometimes it's happy at 14.2, sometimes 12, maybe 13, it likes to skip around a bit and my theory is the battery is no longer getting consistently charged so I might as well spend some extra and do it right when it comes to replacing it. (car had a lot of draw with the air compressor, stereo, power inverter, ps3 etc., I'm sure the factory one has been hating life for the last 2 years , but these various voltages were seen at idle with no accessories or anything even running at the time)

 

Hmmm, I may have to get one made. Do they have the specs already?

 

Mine is going to be rated at 200 amps, they have youtube vids of a similar one outputting over 225 (doh!). You can check out homedude's channel below, they also make them where you can adjust the voltage externally which is pretty awesome.

vids kind of crack me up, heavy southern accent and talkin' 'bout AHLternators man!

 

Thanks again to Scott for helping out with changing my fan out today... It's amazing to keep my AC running and not have to stress about it in this heat. Before, it ran fine as long as the car was moving but would quickly get the coolant temperature above normal operating temperature. Just to test it out, I sat at idle with the car already fully warmed up for about 5 minutes with the AC on and the temperature needle didn't move at all.

 

Awesome, I'm glad it worked out and the fan controller is working too. Now on to the next thing Damn it was hot, I only worked on my car for an hour tonight.
