my 626 work in progress
Dontknow if any of you even thought these things existed..
But its a 1980 mazda 626 and it is rwd, they were from 80 - 82. SHares alot with the RX2/3/ 1st gen Rx7, and a host of other rwd mazdas from those years.
but this one especially is in great top notch condition.. and was taken care of its whole life. everything works!!!!! A/c - Heat allthe lighting, all the buttons..etc. It has a 2.0 sohc motor in it, that runs great, but its now time to decide what needs to go in it. But as of now, im updating hoses/belts etc, and fixing old stuff on the motor.
Got these wheels 15 x7 - 15x8 Southern Ways Epsillon Mesh
Sold them than i got these
coil
disty cap
rotor button
spark plugs
inner tie rod ends
oil pressure sender
temp sensor
new plugs
Changed the Cluster from this
To this out of a 81 coupe
Old duty useless idler arm
Got a OG Alpine, which i still have not installed.. its a little too big for the radio shroud...so i have to cut, and its gonna take some balls to do it, but i will someday.
Jon @ Garage Zero demanded the car be lowered! So we put on OEM suspension from a 81 rx7, and it instantly dropped the car a good bit!
Than i got these from a local in Mc Donough for a steal!
Only a pair of 2 piece Dyna Lites 4x110 for the rear, slightly different from the SOuthern ways, but it will do!
Got some tires on them the next day and put them on!
2 pics from random places someone took, i had to remove the camaro spoiler, because when i got 195/45/15 tires, it scraped the ground constantly...it was terrible.
I also got the front grill, and headlight shroud painted black, I still have anther set in chrome, to switch back out.. but the black is growing on me..
And this past weekend, anfter falling victim to peer pressure from the Rotor heads, i got a 13b for some power!
hopefully i can get it in by next month!

And parts are expensive for that car, and the rest are non existent! but i do want to get another one one day when i can afford to do what i want with it.
