Mazda B6 badge

Check out this rare 1.6 badge from down under.
I just won it on the Bay.

You are on a roll bravekozak !!! Send some of that rare part luck to me.

dicovered another rare part

Today I found a chrome antenna + chromed antenna ball on a '91 at the jy.
I also found what I believe to be an original Skymate sunroof.
That is because the edges of the roof cutout and headliner appear to be punched and die cut respectively, as opposed to being cut with hand shears.

As you can see in the picture I also found something under the passenger seat!
The rails are useless without the lower seat frame. It requires the four tabs that are welded on. Since this is my second underseat tray, I will post it on the Bay a week and a half before the Woodward dream cruise. The tray will sit on the floor just fine without the rails.

green spoiler

I passed on a Cayman Green Metallic spoiler at the wreckers.
When I returned a month later, guess which of the four Festivas was gone!

Instead, I had to get a nice black one at another yard.

Here are the before and after painting shots.
Sorry for offending anyone with a black Festiva.

mazdaspeed oil filler cap

I bought the last one in the showcase of my nearby Mazda dealer.
It is machined from billet aluminum, and anodized.
It is very heavy and has a rubber seal to keep the oil from getting out all over the top of the engine.
I recommend it as the perfect replacement over the cheap stock plastic cap.

antenna delete

The antenna delete would be perfect for a Festiva equipped with a six foot whip antenna at the back.
You should be able to spot the pirate flag from anywhere within the giant mall parking lots.

10 a pop? thats NUTS! It sucks how they wont even talk about selling them here.

[jglutz]

^^I was at the local yard last summer and he had a ton of 13 and 14 aluminum rims laying around...$10 a pop...$12 to pull the tire....when I went this past fall to get some...al gone...sold for scrap.

those storm wheels are awesome. 14s? Man there was a storm at the yards... to bad they pull off aloys during processing and scrap them (worth more that way apparently)

No one said anything about my Geo Storm wheels.

I was too busy drooling over the carb set up!!!

[bravekozak]

dual carb

I installed an FMS "performance" cam, but after reading some articles in the forums here, I am led to believe that the racing cam would have been a better choice.

Had I had known that the vacuum pot on the second carb hit the fuel pump, I would have bought that roller rocker setup that was on eBay recently. I am forced to reinstall an electric pump which I sold when I had the Weber on.

Now I'm stuck with an 89 (small flange) gas tank in a 93 Festiva.
I changed my mind and am going to install a spoiler on my Festiva.
I want it to look like a Murano that was cut in half and shortened.

No one said anything about my Geo Storm wheels.

WELL! That dual carb setup is just too cool for words to describe! Are you using a different cam with that setup?

rare items

I took only one set of sport interior door panels. I should have taken both, as well as the other set of seat covers.
I will keep an eye out next time for all the rare items described at the beginning of this thread.
I recently learned about the rails for the underseat tray.
I thought the tray just sat on the carpet under the seat.
I even left spoilers behind.
Not any more.

I will go two days ahead of the Woodward dream cruise to hit every junkyard between Toronto and Detroit. I know what to look for now.

I am still working on my $248 eBay Festiva:
Check out my Geo Storm wheels...

BTW, those seat covers you had washed then sold to me looked like new! The washing machine trick really DOES work! I had some vinyl sewn on the side of the drivers cover where the piping and side had cracked, and they look great.

No one gave me a definitive answer the first time. Are these the rare striped sport seats that were mentioned at the beginning of this thread?

http://bwbronze.com/festiva/stripe3.jpg

Yes, that is the Sport interior. I hope you grabbed the door panels to match.
