here is my 1990 Mazda da 121. Excuse the mess on the inside I'm waiting for it to cool down here in Aus before I remove the tar sound proofing.
It has no name, I bought this car instead of getting a head gasket fixed on my old Subaru. Initially I just wanted a cheap daily that I wouldn't care about and that was cheap on fuel. It had 200000km on the clock.
I immediately fell in love with how fun it was to drive, so I scoured the interwebs to see if there were any people modifying these things for even better handling and found the best car community to be a part of. Anyway, using the knowledge from the forum and facebook page I have done a few things to this since owning it.
Fully stripped interior
Racing steering wheel
Civic short shift and dbz knob
Swapped seats out for the lighter 89 model seats
Auto rad
Removed ac
Got rid of the home job black roof
Tinted windows
Festiva front bar
Pre facelift grill (looks better imo than the later styling)
Nissan r31 skyline alloys 15x6+30 on 175/50 tires
Advanced dynamics suspension
Lil straight pipe exhaust.
Think that's about it so far. Oh and the main fuses
Still can't figure out why my heat doesn't come out the face vents though. Is that just mine?
Thanks guys for the wealth of knowledge that is openly shared through this forum

1993 gl. Factory engine and trans, 327,659 miles on the clock. Working ac, touch screen double din tastefully relocated to the cubby location. It's got a sunroof, roof rack, vw coilovers, aspire brakes, mercury wheels, grant 10" steering wheel, 87 Plymouth horizon seats, short shifter w/ period correct aftermarket knob. Oem festiva mudflaps, power swoopies, spoiler, dash clock, and a tach! Almost everything was found at the junkyard on different vehicles and repurposed for my festy. With the exception of the coilovers and tires which I bought new. Been a fun build so far
