Default parts

WHat year 85 early or late indicates dash style - either way I haev a complete 85.5 cluster $35

and have an early clluster gauge with yellow letters .$20


Have a undamaged nice bumper shock $15


Have some carper pads; a later one foam rubber it was outside and is currently wet, pulled the carpet free and its okay a few tears as the carpet glue stayed attached better in some spots . $15 also have a 84 pad that is really only felt like material covered in the heavy tarpaper material - in good shape still in the car it does not cover the spare $15 also have a few of the side boards that are glued to carpet and cover the rear fender wells. those look easy to reproduce with plywood or MDF you could use them as a template there is a little warpage to them $8. I could just trace pattern for you on some paper. LMK , I could email you Pics All+ actual Fedex to your zip the carpet pads would be the most to ship. due to size. Ken autotech@nc.rr.com

The white lettered 924s guages don't include the MPG guage, correct?

Some 924S's had the MPG gauge, but mine did not.

strange that some did not have it.

for me, i like original unmodified cars. i have restored RX-7's for years, and have owned nearly 30 in the last 13 years. i am down to just two that i'm keeping and i'm actually replacing an engine in my 88 10th Anniversary RX-7 this week. i took the entire week off of work to work on the car and get it done.

i've decided that i plan to restore my 944 to original factory specs and i've accepted the fact that i will end up putting more money into the car than its worth and may ever be worth. for me though, its worth it because i love the car and its pushed me to sell off all of the Mazda's that i didn't want to keep.

heck, putting gas in my car is like putting more money into the car than its worth....

i owned an '87 Turbo II - i ran an entire SCCA Solo II season in it (1991) - one of the best times of my life. too bad no one told me that not driving it for a few months would seize the rotors...

good luck with the project - i'd always think a 944 is worth it.

the 944 is more than worth it to me. siting for a few months shouldn't cause carbon lock on any of the apex or side seals in a rotary engine. it usually takes years to do that. heck, my 88 10th Anniversary (its a turbo II) sits for an entire winter without a start up. i've put 950 miles on it in 6 years and the engine never froze up from carbon. bad oil control rings, yes.. i pulled the engine last night and am building a replacement which should be finished by the weekend.
