1995 Mazda 121 - Dirty Nancy

I liked these at the time. Their looks made quite an impression in the early 90s although they look almost conservative by modern standards. I think most of the UK ones came with autoboxes and full length sunroofs. Yours looks pretty solid.

I like these, yes most UK cars were Auto's with big sunroofs - as thats what we wanted over here.... apparently lol
My dad always wanted one, but they cost to much & were Auto & had a big canvas sun roof - neither of which he wanted lol.

That looks pretty damn rad... So flippin' 1990's and with sooooooooooooo much potential it hurts!!!

Haha yeah the ideas keep piling. It's fun dreaming though.

I don't mind a little bit if camber. I have the camber bolts from whiteline ready to go on. I'll install them after it has been dropped a little. It might not even be noticeable, they only give 1.5 degrees camber.

I've had my eye out for one in the uk for last 5 years or so not seen a single one for sale or even on the road. Loads of potential and the only car I can think of that has such a perfect silhouette of a bowler hat on wheels. Watching with interest.

*Commentators curse! There's a French registered left hooker on evil bay right now - get saving people lol.

So I've done a few little things. I changed the shocks over and cut 1.5 coils of the rear springs. It's not low but at least it sits level.before and after shots below.



and a fun shot haha


I've looked into lowered springs. I'm considering that option ($420 for 4) but I might end up just cutting my existing ones all round when I get another chance.
I also bought and installed a K&N air filter. It seems like it runs nicer but that might just be in my head

so i had a play on photoshop with lowering the 121 and white wheels.

I also had a go at a raty paint job but it didn't work out

the idea came from this image i saw on instagram i think i need to try harder

bought these today


They're 15" x 6" compared to the 14" x 5.5" i have on now. can't wait to install them. one tyre has a small leak which i hope is an easy fix.
I saw an add for a mazda 2 with aftermark wheels so i asked the seller if she was willing to sell the stockies. so happy days.

They should help with adding grip to taking off 

When I bought the car it had the foul smell of off cream. I searched different ways eliminate this smell, on my first attempt I rubbed shaving cream into the seats, threw baking powder over it all, let it sit closed up for an hr and vacuumed it up. It smelt fresh but the cream smell was still kind of there.

After a few weeks I used a goo remover on a suspicious brown mark on the rear seat and used a fabric foam cleaner. It worked a treat. My gf says she can still smell it every now and then. I'm either immune or it's gone.

Unfortunatly the rip in the drivers seat isn't as easy to fix. I bought some loose seat covers which do the job till I can find later model seats that fit.



The other day a new wooden gear knob came in the post. I thought it was cool at the time but now I think it's kinda lame. I tried fitting it but need to make the hole larger. The good thing is that I don't have to use the taxi driver gel sticker.



Overall I like the look of the interior.
