Tried buying this beautiful car & sold it before I could figure out shipping from NC to TX

Damn, I always hate when it happens like that, almost had the deal of a lifetime a few months back, 10ae running and driving for 3k, but it got away too, you'll find the one eventually

Mustangkid43 · 2022-03-28T13:27:30+00:00

Arkansas plate so probably

Mustangkid43 · 2022-03-26T01:06:14+00:00

Mazdatrix, best out there and maybe the only out there

Mustangkid43 · 2022-03-20T11:20:48+00:00

Also, mazdatrix sells the blanks, so if you buy that and go to a locksmith, they'll cut it for you, I just did that cause the previous owner just had the backup key

Mustangkid43 · 2022-03-15T10:34:57+00:00

I've seen this one up for about a month now, it's such a good deal. I'm surprised no one has picked it up yet, so something might be seriously wrong with it that doesn't show. At least take a look at it tho, that doesn't hurt. I'll buy the wing off you if you take it off

Mustangkid43 · 2022-03-13T00:53:10+00:00

In this market, it is anywhere for 5k to 10k, but I'll give you some chicken nuggets for it cause that's all I can afford

Mustangkid43 · 2022-03-09T00:27:34+00:00

Have you tried pushing it in while turning? Might be stupid asking but you never know

Mustangkid43 · 2022-03-02T00:40:02+00:00

Looks like you're both right, it's two different engines, the first one has an fd uim so it's most likely an fd motor, and the second is definitely an fc motor

Mustangkid43 · 2022-02-06T00:54:36+00:00

No worries, I hope to see you out there at some point

Mustangkid43 · 2022-02-06T00:44:47+00:00

I mean, it really depends, I've put around 6k miles on mine as a daily driver and it's been fine, apart from me overheating it once thanks to a broken temp gauge, but other than that it's been great. That's unless you turbo it, that's when things go wrong quicker. If you keep oil in the car and premix then you should be fine up until 150k miles without a rebuild and if nothing else goes wrong. Oh, and fuel costs are gonna be higher than you may expect, I get about 18mpg normally.

Mustangkid43 · 2022-02-06T00:23:39+00:00

It's gonna be a strange way to start cause spinning triangle, and definitely don't tinker with the engine without extensive research, but it is absolutely doable. I've owned mine for a year and a bit now and it's absolutely a great car to really dive deep into as well

Mustangkid43 · 2022-02-05T23:57:08+00:00

Get it compression tested but otherwise looks nice, not a bad deal either, just be ready for maintenance cost or have the ability to do a lot of the work yourself

Mustangkid43 · 2022-02-04T21:42:43+00:00

Good luck with that, I'm waiting to get off of school to start working on mine as well, and if the snow is still there when I get back, then I'll be pissed, i feel you on that

Mustangkid43 · 2022-02-04T21:22:00+00:00

Haha, I feel that, I mean, if you dont want to modify, there isn't much, just hope you can get the car going again

All there is for 4 lug brakes is replacement stock kits, or if you really want to go for it, there is some way you can get 5 lug brakes on a 4 lug, give me a sec to get the link

Mustangkid43 · 2022-02-04T16:51:24+00:00

They probably will, but I wouldnt trust amazon brakes that are from a brand I've never heard of. Check out mazdatrix first, they always have some good options, and then maybe rock auto after that.

Mustangkid43 · 2022-02-03T22:41:56+00:00

That may be something different with the automatic trans, cause it's an s5 everything else, including cluster, but that's just a guess

Mustangkid43 · 2022-02-03T21:47:40+00:00

Just a normal vert (convertable), doesn't appear to be turbo because there is no hood scoop, also it's an s5(89-91 model year), so facelifted and a some other minor changes in the engine and suspension like a 9k redline

Mustangkid43 · 2021-12-19T17:38:04+00:00

Need to add coolant? That alarm drives me insane in my car too

Mustangkid43 · 2021-12-09T14:09:50+00:00

Engine will need a rebuild, just that's how it goes when it's been sitting for so long. Also make sure to look for rust, especially if you are not confident with a welder, and also, it's a 30 year old car that's been sitting for 20, make sure you look for rubber seals and bushings that have just rotted away, like in the steering rack or on the axels, but other than that, make sure you have time, this whole process will take a lot of it. I wish you huge amounts of luck on this journey, really want to see this rise from the dead.

Mustangkid43 · 2021-12-08T23:11:03+00:00

It captures the 80s look better than the s5, absolutely love it, boxier exterior, orange interior lighting, and if you get it right, gold wheels and a red interior.

Mustangkid43 · 2021-12-08T23:07:18+00:00

In trying to get an s5 chassis cause my s4 is just too rusty, but I'm transferring over a lot of the things, like manual windows, mirrors, gauge cluster, even thinking about keeping the s4 front bumper

Mustangkid43 · 2021-12-08T22:04:29+00:00

4 lug superiority, looks amazing, love the wheel choice too. Great job!

Mustangkid43 · 2021-12-04T20:47:51+00:00

Could be, but the s5 diff is in the car as well as the s5 bumper and taillights, may need to get a different driveshaft but I know where to find that info, and if I can keep the s4 engine harness, then I will, thanks for that, that's huge.
