It's not a Mazda

I'm fb71 there as well.

Hey! I thought I recognized that name from somewhere. I used to frequent the fordsix board when I was pondering putting a 200 six in my 84 LTD.

yeah its funny here in aus alot of ford vehicals are rebadged mazdas
like the 121/festiva 626/telstar 323/lazer E2200/econovan B2600/courier
which is funny cos the ford courier has mazda compliance plates but both mazda b2600 and courier are built on mitsubishi triton.....go figure

speaking of i noticed on my festi the ignition and fuel injection is all by mitsubishi too

usually if an engine or trany goes before 200k i'd say its the owners fault.


We had an old honda prelude come through work the other day with 312k miles on it, the two kids were heading up to Montreal from VA, and the car was beat to CRAP, but still ticking. If taken care of i'm sure it would last to 500k+, but lack of routine maintenance and harsh driving will kill any car on the road.

i agree. my parents changed the oil in my car religiously every 3000 miles. and they abosolutely NEVER drove it hard. now that i've got it well... it sees upwards of 75 some. :lol:
and 356k!
