Sp33dy's 1989 Mazda 121

[Festiva GTX]

^ Very nice! I wonder what's that behind of rear seat ending to near hook latch attached plastic something?

[SimonTuffGuy]

Want to trade headlights?

I have a few mini projects I want to do over summer to clean the 121 a little. To help me, i scored the following on Ebay last week, and it arrived in the mail today I probably didn't need the book to do what i want to do, but it was a good excuse

1st Edition (1995) Gregory's Owners Service Manual
NO.605 FESTIVA (91-94), MAZDA 121 (87-90)




Since it's 'pre-loved' Its got quite a lot of grease marks on a few specific pages -- obviously where the previous owner/s had used it! Kind of gave me a good idea as to what should be done to my car if it hasnt already. Luckily for me the Driveshafts and Brakes were overhauled only a month prior to me purchasing the 121 a couple of months ago!

Most obvious USED sections include:
FRONT AXLE AND SUSPENSION
- STEERING KNUCKLE & HUB Assembly / Disassembly
- DRIVE SHAFTS Assembly / Disassembly
STEERING
- STEERING GEAR ASSY
- TIE ROD END
- RUBBER BOOT

The remainder of the hardcover book looks to be unused. Very happy purchase for $25 delivered (Considering RRP is ~$60)

That should prove handy. My dog earred manual has had some pre-love too. I just read it for fun sometimes.

If you end up selling your car, hold onto the manual. Don't make the same mistake I did. I sold my first one with my first Festiva, and had to buy another one when I got my second.

Started reading it from front to back in bed last night ..... was addictive reading!



Also something i know you'd be interested in Freshtiva, but you probably have a copy already, i just bought this ..... Original Mazda Australia 121 Sales brochure. If you dont have a copy, i could probably try and scan it to PDF or something.

[Sp33dY]

Here's another one cos i can


I want to repaint the steelies, not sure if i should keep them Silver, or paint them Black .... or Red

[25Horseplay]

^^Nice car! You wouldn't want to trade your Mazda gill and hedights for an american Festiva grill and lights would you? I'd even pay shipping both ways!

[stefan]

[TRUCKtiva]

LOL ... go read the last 4 pages . You arent the first person to ask . If i wanted a Festiva front end i would of just bought a Festiva! YEs --- Australia got both the 121 + Festiva! 121's were sold by Mazda in 88-90, and the Festi's were sold by Ford from 90-94 if memory serves me correctly until the newer Festiva (Aspire) was released. Ive still been looking for sets of headlights / front ends at wreckers but havent found 1 yet. It's a shame that every crashed 121 i have seen has been a front ender.
