good ol B3

[Joel_Oz]

im doing some car hunting at the moment and i nearly fell over today when i looked under the bonnet of a 2002 mazda metro and noticed everything under there is identical to my 97 festi even down to the firewall itself
dang those B3s have been around for ever :shock:

WOW. But then again, why change a good design. The newer mazda does have a more rounded top valve cover. With AC and the brake booster on the right side, it looks crowded on that side of the engine bay

if it ain broke i guess
yea the only real diff is the rocker caver and the way the a/c lines runs
on mine it goes along the back at the firewall
in the metro it cuts across the front

even the rest of the car tho is very similar
check out the dashs
