Mazda 929/rx4 1975
 

Hello from Europe > Lithuania.
Decided to start thread about my mazda.
bought it 2008 02 as donor for my 1977 S3, but then i got body (no engine, trans, axles, just body) found that it is in much better condition then my 1977 model. So swaped suspension from 1977 to 1975 model (front suspension is different) and started to work with body. let the pictures talk:

Leaving Austria.

put the eps on it......

Yes Epsilons are waiting. need to change front brakes, as large calipers doesn't clear wheel. need to move caliper ~ 1,5" back from wheel, or maybe will need to use another caliper - 1 or 2 pot in back side, as 4 pot caliper is very flat. On rear everything is perfect.

working on this!!!

Gera spalva isejo as savo 80 rx7 panasiai norejau dazyti. O del detaliu ko dar tau reikia as galeciau amerikoj pajieskoti vistiek turbut greiciau ir lengviau butu cia rasti negu lietuvoj.

Labas,

Smagu kai tokiam klube skamba lietuviu kalba. Truksta man:
Veidrodeliu originaliu abejom durelem
Ieskau AM/FM radijos clarion berods turetu but. ir reikia konsoles dalies kur ta radija statosi. Kol kas regis tiek :)
Ir zinoma 13b turbo :D

as turiu 13b turbo naujiai surinkta stovi mano garaze laukia kol as jy idesiu y masina bet paskutiniu metu esu labai uzsiemes su savo 2 men dukra ir darbu. taip kad masinai nelabai yra laiko jau 2 men beveik as ja renku. Veidrodelius perskambinsiu chebrai gal kas tures o del radijos tai jau sunkiau bus nes nelabai kur rasi bet pabandysim.

What nissan did those rotors come from?

what is that paint color called? I might have to copy you on that... it looks good!!!

nice!

Fire85GSLSE > those rotor came from nissan silvia - S13 or 200sx here in europe - rwd coupe nissan car usaly used for drifting :D Actualy not the best rotors as you can see - caliper is out of brake disc (about 1.5") so i cant use my epsilon wheels. will change front brakes soon.

73rx313b > colour code is Ford UU / Ford Blueprint (it's USA cars colour i think, or mayby Australian) yes looks very nice, but painting is very hard, covering of paint is very hard as layer is very thin.

Rotarycrazy> i have 11 month son :) !!! Sveikinimai tečiui. koki varikli turi? kokia galetu buti kaina? kalbant hipotetiškai gal ir būtų įdomu.

variklis tai 91 turbo is Japonisko modelio su padidintais portais pirmieji tokio pacio dydzio kad geriau apie miesta o antrieji tai apie 30% didesni uz originala. Kolkas bus su S5 turbina kol pinigus daugiau bus o paskui hibrida darysiu tai kaskur apie 350ag y 950kg masina tai bus smagu. Bet kolkas viskas stovi nes bandau bisni nupirkti tai cia pirmenybe atai jaigu viskas gerai su tuo tai pinigu iplauka padides gana dauk tai tada ir masina pabaigsiu.

hey.. can you check that color code for me once more... i had a buddy look and he cant find a uu ford color... thanks

Sorry made mistake. not USA, but AU - australia. It was hard to find color code for me. I found this color very popular in australia, they told me that this color is Ford "Blue print". All i found about this ford Blue print is here:

check ford Blue Print code UU. But my in my paint shop they told that they found this code in american catalogue. My paint is "RM".

thanks

Jebus more Lithuanians on here than I thought... Don't speak much myself, but my mother is Lithuanian. Car looks awesome btw!

Yeah there was a time then lot of lithuanians was emigrating to USA, Australia. So we are everywhere :)

Looking for LSD 24 spline axle, also want to lower the car, so adjustable coils would be great to get. also lowered rear end, and definately rotary engine.
