Mazda 121, being built in Perth.

[loki323]

Sooooo the story starts with a humble BPT found in an auction lot...





the motor cost $50, the tow back to the workshop $70




So the hunt was on for a vehicle... $600 later I had this. Fully registered. Bum CV, scratched windscreen, missing a mirror...



Came with a free boat anchor, that has got me to work reliably for the last 8 months




Made some half assed attempts at making it legal.. got a mirror




Grabbed some wheels and exhaust that will never fit (decided to do aspire conversion)




Grabbed a whole bunch of bits from previous builds




Painted the black bits, and painted the 12" wheels black




Got myself a g-series




Stripped the rear interior and got myself the aspire bits




Grabbed a dardy bonnet off a member here and some suspension bits... also got a stinger ems aftermarket ecu.




With that ecu, clutch, ems, and t28 turbo it should be good to run 18psi on pump fuel...


Oh and I found some coilovers on yahoo japan...





off to a good start?

Very nice start!! I'm jealous of the 121

Wow...a yellow funtop! Wish we would have gotten funtops over here! Looks like a great start to a project. Keep us updated!

^^US did get funtops, just very rare

I am on the hunt now, I did not know that the US got them

[Prafeston]

I did not know that the US got them

Me either! If we did get some I'm sure they would be very hard to find. I don't think we got many.

Loki, if you can find another set of those coilovers I would love you forever. ( no homo)

[festyfreak39]

great build!!!!! looking forward to some progress!

What kind of ECU? how will u be wiring it? pigtail?

[FB71]

we didn't get the OEM funtops, just the ASC copy.

[loki323]

It's a 1.3 carby model so it'll be slightly trickier to wire in and fuel, plus getting the mounts organised.

Goes pretty good with the 1.3L, I advanced the timing until it pings in fourth gear going up hills which is pretty bad long term... but that gave it a bit of oomph in the lower gears

The ecu has a built in 20psi map sensor and a base map for 550cc injectors (rx7?). You can wire in a higher psi map sensor but that would be a bit too tricky to set up on an old ECU so i'll keep the boost 'low'. Best part is no crappy air flow meter!!!

[loki323]

oh and the ecu was free, that was also good.

[FB71]

Just a word of advice, before you get scolded; Please read the forum rules about language. We do have tender, young, impressionable eyes reading these posts. Thanks, and welcome, and awesome build!

NICE.

Oh some pics of my previous torque steer monster. BPT 3" exhaust, front mount, 14psi. Probably around 200hp?

Would like to go for about 50% more power this time, in a chassis weighing a fair bit less
