Re: KIMI 3 - 1984 Series 3
A bit of tarting up for the 2020 show season 
Car is in the garage, so not easy to get a good pic. I'll take some more when out and about.

Re: KIMI 3 - 1984 Series 3
Hi Kevin - i bought them off Adam Galtress (an RX-7 FD owner) through his eBay shop:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mazda-100-Ye ... 4902.l9144
£3 each posted
I asked him to make a slightly smaller size than his "standard" one of 185mm height, so it would fit easily in the rear quarter. He did that at no extra charge. Mine was 155mm height.
I have to say I'm very pleased with the result, fitted inside the window.

Re: KIMI 3 - 1984 Series 3
The FM radio has not been working on the Mazda OEM original Clarion E950 radio, which has been annoying. I decided to take a look today. Removed the radio from the console, which was fiddly, but no issues. Then I set up a power supply, aerial and some speakers in my shed as a test rig.
Same result on the test rig; AM radio OK, by FM dead. OK, so it looks like I'll have to take it apart and see if I can locate the fault.
What a nightmare that was! It took about 45 minutes to get it dismantled, to the stage I could identify the various circuit modules. Identified the FM module here, nearest to the front of the pic, with the label attached: I tapped that module with a handle of a screwdriver and BBC Radio Essex on 103.5 FM burst into life! Yippee, so just a dry joint probably. I can't see any obvious poor joints attaching the module to the circuit board, so it might be inside the module. More work to do to locate it, then all I have to do is remember where this lot went, and it which order, to get it all back together
