Yea its the one form chicago. The guy i bought it from seemed like he dint know anything about the car, like nothing at all! it didnt come with any paper works on the built motor so it was super sketchy. Found out that the whole motor was rewired and seemed like the whole front was re-done.
its ok on my end i guess, first mazda ive ever owned so im new to the whole scene. since its built its a plus but the negative is that is it trustable? got it for 5200
Nice car man. I wonder if the original owner was a member here? There may be an old build thread. Looks like a wings west hood, rims and is that a Magnaflow exhaust? Are the headlights black or is that just bad lighting? Post up some engine bay pics when you can.
drain the oil, take off the oil pan and flash a light up into the bearings and see if u can the stamping on the pistons. should say wiseco, cp, arias, etc.
unfortunately its the only way to tell if the internals have been replaced with forged ones
