Hello everyone.
My name is Martin. I live in quebec Canada.
I dont eaven have a Mazda yet but will buy one verry soon.
Im looking to buy a p5.
Im a member of the 1967-1972 chev truck message board that looks verry similar to this one. I dont have my truck annymore for a hole bunch of reasons. I currently have a sunfire that is falling appart so my next car is a p5. What sould I look for? I think ill get a 5 speed funner to drive.I will lower it
I called for 1 today a red one 177000 kms $4000 but automatic.
I havent eaven driven 1 yet, ill do that ont the week end.
annyways heres a pic of my truck that i no longer have
time to moove on
cheers

I drove my first p5 today 2 actually?
First was 02 automatic red 179000km $4000
second was 03 yellow 140000 km 5speed $6000.
I will be buying a 5 speed for shure.
Im a litle bit dissapointed in ride quality I find it a litle on the rough side and I plan on lowering it witch will make it worce so im told.

What about timing belt?? Is this a "contact" engine??

Ride and handling are really our strong suit - have the suspension inspected.

Lowering with Eibach improves handling w/ little or no change in ride comfort (to me).

If since 80K miles - shocks might be shot...
Go for it - it started a seven year love affair for me

It is a non inteference engine so if a belt breaks you will have no damage just stranded. Yes the ride is firm for sure, car has a sport suspension. If you want soft buy a Malibu LOL.
