        Slammed the front of Rustiva!

        hahaha j/k
        Me and my buddy (Rustiva's owner) pulled the B3, or more correctly dropped it, with atx tranny (and driver's side axle shaft) attached. Then we lifted the front of the car up and over the engine rolling it on the back wheels. When we set it down it looked like the front was slammed. We had to get a picture of that with a wheel in there! I also tidied up my car shelter a bit. Darn neighbours cats like to chill in my car shelter and sometime leave their business behind! grrr I love cats...but...

          Where do you get the bushings?

            You get the new bushings at any Mazda dealer.

            Part number is #46-062.

            See this thread:

            Post your Festiva or Aspire repair and maintenance issues. - USE THIS FORUM FOR ANY TECHNICAL RELATED POST (IE. How do I change my oil?, How to remove axle from tranny?, etc)


            It has a pic of the dealer page on shifters.

              Figured out for sure that Babystiva is leaking from the radiator itself and not the top radiator hose... good news is that the new rad should be here by 12:30 so I can put it in today. Babystiva should still be making the trip to Clemson this weekend
              No festiva for me ATM...

                  yep, I'm thinking radiator at lunch time, then after work head home and get the mount before I go in for pizza delivery tonight . We're at the end of the mail line so we don't get our mail till around 4PM . But either way, I'm just glad we're taking the festiva to the meet

                              • Installed a new stereo. Somebody got into my car and stole my old stereo about a month ago. Broke the radio bezel too. Too bad for them the old one was half dead! CD wouldnt work and was shorting out the cigarette lighter, and didnt sound right. Well the new one is in and sounds 5X better, got a bezel and its all better now.

                                I need tint......
