Alright so I'm pretty sure the FD i have used to be automatic, i went by the mazdausa site and register the vin and it says its a white 94 with tan interior and an automatic trans... dunno if mazda's wrong but i doubt it (vin is JM1FD3336R0303318 in case smoeone knows a positive way of checking it)



Anywho i've never driven it, its never evn run since ive owned it...but it should be running soon. Everything is manual in the car tho, the pedals are there shifter master and slave trans etc. and its going to havea pfc so the ecu doesnt bother me.



is there anything I should be worried about thats different on the auto models? anything i should look for in terms of seeing if it was a hack job conversion? Hopefully not, but this cars been a world of wonders so far anyway, lol.



thx,



kevin.

Your going to feel a little light in the loafers. It's to be expected with an auto trans. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.gif

Yea I read your post. I know it's no longer auto trans. We can race if you like. I don't know that there is going to be much difference between the two cars. What turbo are you running?
