Don't know if I asked this or not, but is it a manual trans, or automatic, and what year is it again? Looks exactly like mine, so I am guessing 82-83 maybe?
Just checked the Mazdatrix website and they sell both front and rear spoilers like the ones I used to have on mine. I would save on shipping, by going down there and picking them up

Hmm, maybe I'll register it up there when I buy it LOL.

I've spent the last 2 days in the transom of a boat so I just caught up here...

It's definitely carb'd. Manual transmission. Not sure on the year but I'll check. I doubt its gonna sell anytime soon, and I'll snap some more pictures on thursday. Did I make everyone happy?

Yes indeed, I am happy. Judging by the black rubber trim piece on the side, I would say it is either an 81, 82, or 83. They are all pretty much the same in those years anyway. Now, I cant wait to get my settlement.

edit: If you are going to take pictures on Thursday, can you get a picture of the pedals? The reason I ask is because my right knee does not bend more than 40 degrees, and I need to know if I can get my right foot above the brake pedal. If not, I will not be able to drive it, and will have to find an auto equipped car. If the brake/clutch pedals are on the same plane as the gas pedal (for heel/toe operation) then I can drive it, but most cars I have seen have the brake pedal several inches higher off the floorboard then the gas, which means I would have to use my left foot to operate it, and that leaves no more feet left to operate the clutch.

I'll take a look Jim.

That pedal offset drives me nuts in my 7.3. I hate not being able to rotate my toe and hit the brakes. Have to lift my whole darn foot.

You could sit farther back and use a spacer on the throttle, I am pretty sure there is a slight offset but not much.

I like the clouds, but hope the rain holds off. This afternoon is the kick off for the weekly Downtown Roseville Car Show. I'll have to watch the Nexrad radar site and make sure that the coast is clear. Jag
