My name is Thomas. I love mazdas, and have a 2004 6s that is currently waiting on a motor. Anyways, I came across a great deal thanks to Sheldon, and couldn't pass it up. 1991 s5 na 5spd manual. Can't wait till i get to go pick it up in a few weeks.

Welcome Tom. Much obliged in helping you get the car. Any questions you have, is prob already covered in the 2nd gen section. Congrats on the purchase.

Welcome!

You should really get your fan shroud put back on for the summer. If you need one, let me know (I am pretty sure I have one laying and it would be free if I do - well, plus shipping).

I may be a better idea to just put an electric fan on the car.

Yea, I was thinking the shroud was going to be my first essential mod, other than getting it to pass emissions (screw ohio's e-check). If you find you have it, PM me, and i'll shoot you whatever you need to cover shipping.

Seeing those pictures make me happy and sad at the same time. That's basically my first RX-7, except mine had the leather seats and different door panels. I'd probably still have it, if it wasn't stolen, stripped, then lit on fire. Thugs.

Anyhow, congrats on the purchase. Normally aspirated FCs are a lot of fun as they are so simple to work on and much fun to take on the back roads.
