  • MOZDA BEGINS-

    Hi guys,
    I've just bought my 4th mazda/ford and am starting a build log from day one.
    My aim is to transform this car into a fierce competitor.

    not much to look at right now. But watch this spot....

    Nice. If you ever get the urge to sell that grill and headlight setup you just let me know. And welcome to the site. Always cool to meet new members!

        Very nice. I too have started a mad dog build in Perth.

        So far I've only stripped the interior but once I sell my S15 (400hp but I'm bored with it) I'll be going nuts on it with the same aim.

            Postage for the grille would be over $200!!!

                Looks good! Are you swapping to EFI when you make the transformation to track monster? Planned engine swap?

                    I'm a doer not a gunna.
                    So I don't want to go into "I'm gunna do this or that".
                    But a b6t is definitely in my sights. Stiff suspension, brake upgrade, etc etc.
                    Cosmetically, I'm just going to do things as I come across them.

                        You really have to make that circular. Can't you add the following as the last line?

                        I have, therefore I am.

                        Anyhow, good luck withe the build

                          Nah bro.
                          Being is everything.
                          Thinking, doing, and having are the cherry on top.

                            Moz, welcome! Nice ride. I'd love to hear about a KiMaFo meet in Oz! How many of those 121's are in your area?

                              Thanks!!! yeah, a meet would be great.
                              Due to their age, most are in scrap yards now. But I do spot 2 or 3 a day in my travels.
                              Festivas are more common than 121s.
                              The 121 was sold here from 87-90. Then the festiva was sold from 91-93
