Mercury Capri hubs on the front. Stock bolt pattern, but a huge boost in braking. Requires Aspire LCA's.

Aspire m/c. This makes for a more responsive brake pedal. The 323 m/c works too.

Aspire brake booster.

Aspire springs, for a lower ride.

Aspire drivetrain and suspension.

Mazda Protege alternator works also. It's 70 amps too, I think.

Temp sensors are common throughout most Mazdas. My Festiva has a radiator fan switch, coolant temp sensor, and temp gauge sensor from an '89 323. All work like they should.

HLAs interchange between B-series motors.

O2 sensors interchange. I put the sensor from a Protege on a '93 Festiva and it passed emissions. Same goes for the 323 and probably Escort GT.

Fusible links can be replaced with cartridges from any vehicle that has the right size.

Sound deadening material from other cars works nicely to reduce engine noise.

...Aspire drivetrain and suspension.

On the Aspire transmission. You will need the front mount from the Aspire. It will only bolt to the transmission with two bolts, but it is a "bolt in".

Don't know if I'd trust it behind some of the more powerful engine swaps, but for a B3, it works fine.

Does the LCA change affect an alignment or how anything else assembles? I asked if aspire axles can fit a festiva because i have 4 of them, and TOMinMO shot that one down. I dont know if that is affected or not.

[JPT]

Aspire axles can be used just as long as you also use the Aspire LCA's. You gain negative camber and front track width doing this. I don't know how much, but it's a noticeable amount. I also don't know why you would want to do this, unless it's for autox or road racing.

They will not fit with Festiva LCA's.

I think it would be a good idea to not only have a sticky for this list, but the list should include a link to the appropriate post on how to install the item listed, if the item in question is not a direct bolt-on mod, such as the RX-7 steering wheel.

For instance:
Honda Accord arm rests

(this was my how-to on how to install)


Just a thought.

Well I went to the junkyard today to try and get a sexy RX-7 steering wheel but looks like it was already taken . But one thing I did find was a mazda MX-3 I believe. Does the intermediate wiper switch work, it looks alot like the stock Festiva switch (from what I can tell from pics, never actually seen one)? That would be a huge upgrade since the winters and spring seem to get longer and longer here. I will try and put the full list together here shortly, and thanks everyone for their input!

[freshtiva]

I might sell you this wheel. Note variable speed wiper switch also. I know the older 626s have a similar one.

[wrongfulleaf]

Thanks for the offer Marcus but I was hoping to get a bargin price in a JY. I will just keep looking (it's funner that way ) And yea I will have to add the MX-3 to the list of wipers because that looks just like it.

[freshtiva]

Alright then, but you dont even know what I gonna ask for it.

Just because it looks like it on the exterior doesn't mean the internals are the same

Well I know you wouldn't screw me over but I bet you would want more than $10 . O and PNP has some good deals going on right now, alt $10, motors $100, I think trans were $60-$70. I might to pull an alt from a protege since they have a ton. O and they have a xr2 out there so if anybody wants some parts you better get there quick!!!

I went to the jy this week and hit gold, new cluster old speedo bad, passenger mirror, hatch panel and rear wiper set up, however it didn't have the arm and I've searched and looked everywhere I can think of on this forum and can't find a fit for it. Any ideas? Thanks!
