What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[200KGPGTP]

Alright good for you. So what did that wounderful piece of Mazda iron cost you. Smittys thats on the south side of town, the engine looks fairly clean, how many miles.

$400, 74k miles. Engine is spotless aside for dust. No oil on it anywhere other than around the oil cap. So excited to get it going!!

A dual-motor GTP, but you should fire your mechanic. They did a horrible job of installing it.

:lol: Sadly it would nearly double the power in it! It's just an 88 SE with the 2.8

Well glad to see you were able to buy such a nice engine and clean with 74K so why are you on here get out there and spin a wrench, with a little luck you should be done by this time tomorrow. April 20 there is a meet in Minn you can do it.

[200KGPGTP]

Not, quite, but I AM making good progress!

Got the new engine spotless, and the old engine almost completely disconnected.

Still need an EGT TB and a B61K ECM though

I got mine off an old Protege. Has variable intermittent wipe.

Do you mean BG or BF chassis? I here we have only 323, so not sure wich model you mean.. I really want adjustable intermittent wipe..

But with my 121, I had fun day, "big service", engine oil change, gearbox oil change, fuel filter change, valve cap adjustment.

And also I installed remote controller central locking! that's sweet!

[Oren09]

I believe the Protege is known as the Familia overseas.

Yep, can't go wrong with installing central locking.

I installed a $35 kit in mine, and it hasn't let me down yet. Best $35 I have spent on the car so far.

[Festiva_Fred]

The daily driver got treated with some new to me alloys

[Team Lightning]

Looks Good! What springs are you running under it?

[Maikel]

Yep, can't go wrong with installing central locking.

I installed a $35 kit in mine, and it hasn't let me down yet. Best $35 I have spent on the car so far.

Yep, I still have to install wires to blinkers. It's funny tought that I have bought the car for 300€ I have remote for locking the car, and I wouldn't have to reach for passenger side door to lock it.

And I forgot to add, I also changed the theromstat to orginal 2-way wax element.. Funny thing is that normal list price is 69€...

Daem. Still it's 323.. Basically everyhing between GLC and 3 are 323's
BA sedan is 323 Familia, but it's years 95-98, can you mean that new?

[kellen302]

Wash n' wax. Lookin' shiny and clean. Too bad there are water spots waxed in now me and my poor toweling job

[LittleHoe]

yanked the engine, and split the tranny from it just for something to do on an easter sunday... Is it bad when I call this preventitive maintenance?

[koRnhead]

Touched up my flat black, bumpers and sides, and put my rear threaded rod back in. Which I take out for the winter months here in Wisconsin.

[Uncle Fester]

Scored some 13" steelies from the junkyard this morning. Came home and scrubbed all the scunge off of them. Total dime-store upgrade, but better than the stock 12"s I have been running on for the past 4 years. Time to shop for tires! Also, found out about the Las Vegas Meet coming up 12-14 April! Only 4 or 5 attending so far, anyone else want to come? Wait, does what I just did qualify as a bump?

[TorqueEffect]

Found out my rear wheels have some negative camber, passenger side only has a hair of negative camber, but the driver side is pretty bad, bad enough to have uneven wear on the tire.

So it looks like the torsion beam is bent, can't replace it until I have the money for the struts as well. (Lower strut bolt head is sheared off on driver's side)
