That's some price increase seeing as you bought it off me 12 months ago for £200.... which is what I originally paid for it.

Ian hopefully you will now PM Dave and address this unwarranted remark.

I have pm\'d you Clive to address my post, your post and profs.

Plus you\'d want to know this went to a good home and would be looked after...

so the only people on planet earth who\'d look after this car are members of the mazdarotaryclub are they?

Seriously???

no rotary engine, no cigar

yes, see here....

the Nikki carb and the rats nest work hand in hand to provide the correct mixture whilst controlling the emissions. If any part of the setup is not working or is missing, you\'ll have starting / running problems that are extremely difficult to diagnose and fix.
By far the easiest way to fix things is to swap in a complete setup that you know to be good. When working, it is a very reliable setup..... most problems arise from the car not running for years and the carb getting clogged with solidifying fuel or from people messing about with them......

a replacement complete rats nest will drop straight on and the wiring to plug in the solenoids on it should still be on the engine loom.... if your rats nest has been taken off by someone who doesn\'t know what they are doing, your car will run like a dog!
Lots of info and advice in the 1st gen threads here...

I\'ve got a perectly set up 1st gen Nikki carb including the rats nest that I\'ve just taken off my car as I\'ve fitted a turbo. It\'s set up perfectly for the emissions / mot and it\'s easy to just unbolt your carb and rats nest then drop this one on..... half an hours work.
Yours for £25.00 plus whatever the Royal Mail charge to deliver it.....  if you want it.
Nikki 4 barrel carbs are a nightmare to set up and you could be messing about with your for the next 6 months and still not get it to run properly.
At least by fitting a known good carb and rats nest, you can cross that off your list if you still have problems.

you can also download the original parts catalogue with the part numbers which you can then take to your main dealer..... most Mazda dealers don\'t have the microfiche for the 1st gens any more.
They are available for download here...

.

the cover plate on the diff is to protect the brake pipe as you say and the pipe on the side of the back box is the old air pipe which was part of the stock exhaust / emission stuff on the standard car...... not used on the Elford

no, jack the car up under the chassis to allow the axle to drop and then use spring compressors to take the rest of the tension off the springs.... you can then take the springs out, transfer the compressors to your new springs to compress them and put them onto the car.

a few of us have taken the axles off our 1st gens lately...
