e5 engine swap
 

Hey there I'm new to the site and I'm hoping i can get a bit of help with my 1985 familia, it has a E5 engine but I've lost compression in one of the cylinders so I'm thinking of upgrading to a new engine, i wanna keep my 5 speed tho, are the b6 engines the same block preddy much? Annnny info would be great as I'm new to these engines.

Cheers guys =]

Going to just fix it
 

I'm going to have to take the head off to replace the valves, any help with this would b great! =] thanks

head off =]
 

ended up not needing any help =]

No one interested in my little build? lol oh well ill keep adding =]

bought new valves for it 3 days ago and pulled the old ones out, found the guides were f'ed... then found the valves i got were to short.

ordered new guides and the valves for the turbo version of the e5, apparently the same measurements...

had the head and valve cover acid dipped, incredible how different they look after a clean.

give me some colour option guys! what would be cool?

ill post some picks up of the head once its put back together.

you must be a mechanic to do the job. have you ever been to montreal? i went many times and think they have the most arrogant, bad driving manners, rudest, etc in entire canada. what do you think fellows. pass this message to others

i like to think I'm more of an engineer then a mechanic lol

Dunno about montreal drivers, Im from New Zealand and yeah we got some shocking drivers here too...

Yeah, and they all drive on the wrong side of the road. :D

you mean to say left is not the right side?? woah!?

i was curious i have a mazda 323 1991 the B6 line. fully stock. i was curious i seen a gtx motor for sale and was wondering can i swap the gtx motor into my car the gtx is 88 and AWD and my car is FWD. any info would be awesomeeeeeee

Mazda3 Hatch sp23
 

alright i know this isnt where i do this but

What are some inexpensive yet good looking rims for a Mazda3 Hatch sp23 ? Or any other mods that look cool?
My car is the gray color (see picture)
For my birthday my parents said we can do some stuff to my car for a reasonable price.
Specifically, rims would be nice.
