  • Too Funny..partial from another forum

    I've seen 2 Festiva's with ZE's. They almost look like the engine is squished in there like a cartoon character jumped up and down to make it fit. I'd love to see an older Mazda especially older 626 run it but how would it play with the electronics? Highly doubt you could modify it to work with a carb. You'd have to swap in all the modern electronic engine management stuff too. CPU, PCM, and ECU. Wiring would be a chore.

    only part of the paragraph but the whole thread was funny

      What gets me is the first line "I've seen 2 festiva's with ZE's" cause if they're talking about KLZE's then they really don't know what they're talking about or there's another KL festiva out there that I don't know about

      Got a link to the original thread?

      If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                              SC has the highest dropout rate in the country... they'll either have no engineering jobs or be in desperate need of them.
