I have had the car a little over a year, and I am ready to move on to other things. I got the car and had big plans with it, to keep it and making it long term, but time passes and things change. It is a very good daily driver, which it has been for me the last year, and has had no issues what so ever.
Its original everything besides the obvious changes, around 130-132k mileage on the car, with documentation that goes back to 88 for the car from the original owner of repairs made. The car was bought in GA, and the original owner decided to scrap the car, but one of the workers decided to keep the car, and replaced the engine with one they already had at the shop. And he drove the car as a daily to work and back, well I purchased the car from him stock and all original. When he owned it, it was just driven 10 miles a day A to B, I bought it and it got alot more miles and use. And it has been great.
Good:
new starter
new fuel filter
new fuel pump
new tires (front)
New Tie Rod ends (outer/inner/adjustment rod) - not installed
New KYB Rear shocks
New Radiator
New Water Pump
New Heater/Radiator hoses
New Disty Cap/rotor/button/wires
New Pads/Shoes
New Brake Cylinders
New Valve Cover Gasket
New Idler Arm
No under carriage rust at all, besides pictures on rocker panel.
Strong Clutch
New Clutch slave cylinder
81 Coupe Cluster
Rx7 Front suspension/brakes upgrade
A/C & Heat work perfectly
OEM Clarion Radio works
All lighting and Defrost works
5 Speed Trans shifts perfect no issues
No leaks at all!!
15x7 - Southern Ways Epsillons Front (have another pair of 15x6)
15x8 - Dynalites Rear
Things that need attention:
*Brake Calipers need to be rebuilt or replaced they click occasionally - 60$ pair
*Alignment
*Tie Rods need to be installed
*Needs Shock inserts (81 rx7) - 65$ (summit racing)
* Burns oil and does smoke its a old car with a old motor so its only natural after 30 years the rings are worn so it does smoke.
* Has Spark Plug Non-Foulers to keep the plugs from being killed from the oil blowby, i do monthly oil changes (4 quarts) on the car because the oil gets contaminated fast from the worn rings. The car still has plenty power and pulls like a 80hp car should, with 1 or 4 people in the car.
*With the non-foulers on plugs it has a slight miss in the idle, which is a compromise without the foulers you would need to change 2 of the plugs monthly in return for a stable idle, i decided to deal with the slight idle miss rather than buying new plugs all the time. But like I said the car drives with plenty of power and does not miss at all while driving.
Included:
*Chrome Grill
*Chrome HEadlight shrouds
*Another bumper
*Another lower front spoiler
*(depending on sale price) 13b Rotary from a S4 88 Rx7, that was planned on going into the car eventually. It is a pretty common swap in these cars..if you google a 79-82 626 most of them will have rotaries in them.
I would like to get 4500$ obo for the car with everything, but I am accepting trades -

Any questions feel free to ask, Just a quick summary the motor is a 2.0 F/MA came in the 929/b2000. Came in the GLC/808/323 in the 70/80s as a 1.6-18, the F/MA was bored to 2.0 for the B2000/929/626. And it was updated into the FE sohc < F2/f2t < FE3 Dohc. The chassis shares alot with the 1st generation Rx7/Rx3/Rx2/Rx4, the bellhousing can be swapped with a BP (miata drivetrain), F 2.2 (b2200), 13b-12A (Rx7)...almost any rwd mazda rwd configuration will work in the car.
For you all familiar with Stanceworks, Mr. Burroughs took some photos of the car a few weeks back.
