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 -

And this is what it looks like now -

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!

JVP - your car just made me wet my keyboard lol

mate that thing looks AWESOME!!

PM me if you wanna be hush hush about it

    • AFM looks to be a z32 The injectors maybe old Nismo 555cc The turbo tag when looked up seems to be a gt2871 , imagine it would have the bigger rear housing .82 all look like the mid 00's mods when he started building it up. Vac hose seems right but would need to see a diagram. Great work going up there and sorting it out, be a good club car for someone wanting a good reliable rig.  I know I would like to have it but no space and too many other race cars at the moment.
    • Heys guys I got a r32 gtst speedo is out by 10kph seems the faster I go the more it be out  just seeing if anyone else had to problem and knows how to fix it 
    • I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better. 
    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
