SteveSter Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hey guys once again im going to be buying a 99 S and I still have my 01 2.5. The question is, what can I transfer over from my 01 2.5 on to the 99 that would be considered an upgrade?? Any engine parts I should keep that are compatible with both cars? (ex. master cylinder?)

///BHRpowered Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 As posted in the other thread, take the light lights, and the trunk plate from your 01, that way you can transfer them to your 99, repaint the trunk light and still come out on top. I would check for a rear sway as well, if you have the 6 disc indash changer keep that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveSter Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Yes I already stated im going to do the 01 to 99 tailight mod. And my new car has BOSE and a 6 disc CD changer in the back. I think only 01-02 S had a rear sway bar, can anyone confirm that? Anymore ideas? What about the rear decklid? Isnt it nicer on the 01-02's?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 no, the deck lid is exactly the same all years, the only difference in the trim plate. sway bars were rare, atleast in the u.s, if yours has it, transfer it, the aftermarket one which myself and marcus both had has no chance of being found or produced again unless you find a wrecked 800sp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginph Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I think all interior pillar covers are plastic in pre 01, you may transfer them. How about fog lights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveSter Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Yes very true, I may change the pillars. 95-00 projector fogs are 10 times better than 01-02 reflector fogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 You won't be able to change the fogs unless you change out the entire front bumper, and to do that you would need to transfer over fenders and hood, and headlights. I'v never owned a car, including a mercedes where the pillars weren't plastic, what the hell do you think there made of in 01-02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiTown Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Only 01-02 S models had the rear sway, mazdameister confirmed that for me and will be getting me one hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latinopikachu Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 well i have the damn sway bar but the stupid bolt mounts are missing and i cant find them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 in the states perhaps, overseas was different, and the 800SP bar that marcus and myself got ahold of is bigger (1.25) and requires larger links and bushings. How much of a difference it makes compared to the regular size one, probably not much, but I have 800sp parts and you don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveSter Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 but I have 800sp parts and you don't I surprised to didnt say na na na na na, na after that. lol sound like little kids talking about having a pokemon card that someone else doesnt.

enginph Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I'v never owned a car, including a mercedes where the pillars weren't plastic, what the hell do you think there made of in 01-02 Here is something for you to upgrage then. Plastic is so cheap, 01-02 has high quality cloth pillars Even 00 xedos has cloth IIRC, xedos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic is so cheap, 01-02 has high quality cloth pillars Even 00 xedos has cloth IIRC, xedos? Nope. I've read somewhere that the early models did though. I'd keep the 99 rear lights if I were you, 01 is a downgrade for looks in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 your talking about the B pillars and only half of it, I was referring to the A pillars. and no, the 01-02 lights are a huge upgrade, hence why they were on the newer years, better lighting, updated styling, and generally fit the car better.

I was also talking about the A pillars, they are cloth. And there is the leather wrapped shifter and emergency brake which were left out in newer years, but I am not sure exactly which years didn't have it. As far as I know, 2000 got both the plastic A pillar and the plastic shifter/emergency brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I know the a pillars are the same as the dash, I will have to double check the others. I know I would consider cloth a downgrade, more to clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
