1992 Mazda B2200 Special review from North America
"I'd buy another one. I wonder If all their trucks are this good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check Engine light came on caused by a burned out sensor on the catalytic converter. The brake "slave" cylinder went out, but she was 10 yrs old when I got her. Gasket on the valve cover, again, just age I think. Nothing else has "gone wrong". On my own volition I changed the timing chain/gears at 100K, replaced the exhaust system up to the manifold (* this "special" edition came from Canada with an exhaust manifold/header pipe combo that I can't even find in Japan. I hope it never cracks). Doing the rotors, drums and Seat arrangement awesome as I'm 6'4" and I feel quite comfy, compared to Toyota extracab trucks.
General comments?
All in all- awesome. Could definitely use a little more Ooomph, my old toyota would kill this one in a race, but dependable and starts everyday. I'm in Germany, and she's parked outside, but I've never had a cold start problem. Burns very little oil. Good traction in the snow as well, with a 100lb weight and a shell on the back.
