I joined SAU a few months ago, bout time i posted some pictures of my car.

Its a 93 Mazda 626 wagon with a tx5 turbo engine. It started life as a boring 2.2litre non turbo automatic. In the last 6 months I have installed the tx5 engine and converted it to manual.

Its got a tx5 engine, gearbox, rear hubs, struts, seats, door trims, dash......and probably some other stuff i've forgotten about.

Basically i took a 626 wagon and a tx5 and mashed them together! oh and its a 7 seater too, good for carting around my drunk friends!

This is what it looked like when i first bought it -

my car has been going through a changing phase the last 2 months. its close to finished but im gonna put up with the stockies a bit longer, til start of next year, but i think it gives it character and the cops never check tyres when they pull me up coz all the wheels are stock.. :thumbsup:

LOL Hi five YAWN!

Thanks for all for the comments guys, i guess all the hard work has paid off, its been about a 2.5 year project and there was always something left to do...but yeah now the exterior at least is all done, there will always be something to add though!

I dont drive the car every day, just friday nights, weekends (the worst days i know), trackdays, i guess ive been lucky when it comes to police, havent been dicked yet, i try to drive sensibly hehe. *fingers crossed*

Thanks!

Hey dude i noticed since you bought it you have lowered it and put some wheels on - you should definately put some tints on this thing. Wagons look awesome with dark tints cos there is so much glass. I rekon you should get real dark ones like 5%'s for the ultimate look (limo tint) or atleast 20%'s. My car has 5's on it and so does a mates legacy gt wagon and made his car look soo much sleeker.

Good work with the conversion. :thumbsup:

Thanks dude :) I've been meaning to get the windows tinted since i got it back in feb, other things always seem to get done first though. turbo conversions etc. and damn your windows are dark!

Yeh i can understand, It won't cost you much though and will transform the look of your car. My cars looked heaps better after the tinting, but my mates wagon looked like a totally new car! it is a good thing to do for only a couple hundred bucks. If you want darker than 35% you will have to pay cash as they wont give you a reciept for the 'illegal tints' but 35% is just no where near dark enough... 5's is where its at!

      Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
