Nearly everybody who has a water cooled core is running water.

Put it on the dyno. Could be anything from ECU going into R&R, to AFM having a fault, boost solenoid cracking the sads. And a bunch of other things. These are so much easier to fault find if you can access the engine while it is under load (and faulting!).

All of them. Ever since they stopped looking like 90s cars.

I can't reconcile these concepts. Mazdas look f**king horrible with their excessively long front overhangs and bulbous protrusions sticking out all over the place.

I would suggest the Driveshaft shop. (the guys in NC, USA, that is). Expensive, but you will likely get exactly what is needed, with no compromises.

Any rack from any R32.

I'm not suggesting you don't buy it. If that's your particular sickness, go right ahead. I was just saying that for the vintage that they are, and the lack of them being particularly desireable to many (any?) people, they don't have any reason to demand more than beer money. On top of that, the difference between a Ti and a base model might be exactly nothing at all in real terms, after 35 years have gone by. So chuck a pineapple or two at him and then try to find some headlights. Could keep you busy for years!

Or... Just squirt some caulking gun adhesive/sealer up in there and push it up until it stays. /ghetto lyfe.

My suggestion was predicated on getting it all back out again to fix it "properly". Got to reinforce the broken substrate.

I wouldn't know how to tell an Exec from a Ti in that era of car, without knowing that the Ti might have certain trim or equipment that the Exec doesn't. Nothing really to tell from those photos. And really, it's would not make any difference anyway. I'm assuming you don't want it for the way it is now. You'd be wanting to clean it up inside, new seat covers or seats, etc. If the Ti had a different (better) intermittent wiper setup over the Exec, then both are really old and crude compared to modern cars anyway, so who's going to be able to tell the difference anyway. Aftermarket stereo gets rid of another possible difference. Different trim strips, badges or mudflaps are another who cares? factor. None of it makes any difference now.

Whatever the rigid part of the liner is (is it flat plastic?) could be reinforced with some other rigid material glued and maybe riveted as a second layer. You need to bridge the cracks with something that isn't cracked. Not too thick of course. But not so thin that it just allows the main piece to still sag.

In all reality, because it is nothing special, and it is really old, and it is in a moderate state of disrepair, it's not worth much. Cars like that are often exchanged for six pack sized sums, or for the value of the remaining rego, if it had any. So start your bidding at the low hundreds, at the very most.

Go for your life. Tapatalk has always been more trouble than it's worth.

Excellent stuff. One thought. What spring rates are the MCAs equipped with? The reason I ask is that MCA generally do not favour heavy ARBs, so your 27F24R combo might be more than they recommend. Might be worth a chat with them before pulling the pin. Might be better with 24/22 combo. And adjustable bars. Not fixed. What are you doing to get the cage legal for the street?

You've done it now. Shovel more power into the car, less clothes on the girlfriend, turn the camera around and give us some new 'ring videos!!!!!

Well, that's perhaps not a total surprise, given Fiji is essentially just a suburb of Auckland.

Well to be fair, I think Oregon is a blue state....but that's the way I read it.

OK, in that case, Russian WTFPass pickup porn.

Oman.

Searchable question is searchable

So now you look for voltage drops across switches, etc.

Better than even odds it's the battery. Been cold lately?

There's a common power supply to all of them. how does the 12v supply look when the engine is running?

I don't think there is any such thing as a "good quality dash mat". 'Twere me, if I was thinking to stick a toupee on it, I'd go see a good trimmer and ask what they can make up. I'd get it done in a suede rather than the cheap arse carpet that dash mats are normally made of, and see how tightly it could be fitted and held down. You can sew lines of lead weights into places where you want it to sit down (like around the lower edge of the binnacle, for example), find ways to secure it in the back corners, that are not just double sided velcro tape, etc.
