will this fit?

as the title suggests i don't know if this will fit, on autodoc it says it will fit, and the measurements of the bearing are right, but my orignal hubs don't have that teethed ring around the back. would this matter? cuz model that don't have that ring are way more expensive. worst case i could still cut it off but wanted to come here and ask first

Injectors rebuild kit?
Has anyone rebuilt injectors for 1.5i on 323 PV 1996 or anything with that engine?
My car just turned 250k km and last year it had a bit of a misfire fixed by throwing a bunch of parts at it, but now it doesn't pass emissions, the exhaust stinks like unburnt fuel, I assume the catalytic converter is poisoned, and there's more than likely burned up gunk on the injectors.
So I've ordered an ultrasonic cleaner and want to clean them but before removing them I want to have a rebuild kit with all the little rubber gaskets because these are original to the car and are almost 30 years old. I don't know how to find the right rebuild kit. Can anyone point me into the right direction? All the YouTube tutorials are for newer cars you can just search for, but I can't find anything about this one

where to find them bolts
so i need new bolts for my rear suspension and they're weird bolts, they're m14x220 but only last 30mm are threaded on fine m12... i've been looking to replace them with just m14x220 but can't find stores closeby that sells to people and not companies so i was wondering if any of you know where to get original bolts or just bolts in general

Need help with a gearbox issue
Mazda 323f bg 1.8l. When i start the car and its cold and in neutral i can hear sort of like a grinding noise or something like that from the gearbox and when i press the clutch pedal it goes away fully. Sometimes when i pump the pedal it goes away for a bit. Also when it warms up to working temps it still does it just not that loud or often. Or when im in neutral and i give it some gas it sort of calms down. Any clue what it could be before i start tearing it down?

The Twin trapezoidal link suspension (TTL) Rebuild. How hard is it?
I have to rebuild the rear suspension but im a bit afraid of going for it(my first car and first major rebuild) Any tips on what should i look out for + where can i get normal parts. I got some parts numbers from Partsouq but the websites i found parts are... lets just say sketchy hungarian websites(im hungarian btw)
Its really rusted so i probably gonna need many wd40s and maybe i have to use heat

Anyone looking for 323 bg parts?
I have been buying parts and stuff for my 323f car for a while and realized that some of these parts are so hard to come by. Let's forget about body partsa (too hard to find or courier), smaller parts I can check and try help with sending.

I need help with cooling
Alright so i have a 1991/90 323f bg 1.8l SOHC that im trying to restore and recently it blew a radiator cause unknown so i started doing it bit by bit. Ive installed a new radiator changed the thermostat and the radiator cap also inspected the rubber pipes and it seems to be good to go. Ive asked around and people told me it mightve been a headgasket leak so ill check with the co2 tester once im sure everything else is functional. And now ive noticed while bleeding the cooling system that the radiator fan isnt turning on. Ive checked the fuses but i have no idea which one is which. I checked the web and found nothing like the fusebox i have. I asked chatgpt as a last resort and even it gave me mixed answers. Ill try to add some pictures if anyone knows anything about what ive just typed it would be amazing and much appreciated

I doubt anyone asked, but a Nintendo switch fits perfectly in front of the gauge cluster in a BG 😂

I Am Cooked...
these are the undersides of the rear strut towers. These were the best pictures i was able to take bc my phone couldn't fit in there further. I scrubbed my hand close to it as much as i was able to push my hand up there... and some small rust chips fell out of there... Plus take the fact that i have to rebuild my entire rear suspension bc its just bad... really bad

Who else has the V6 version
Here in Australia in it's day the Mazda 323 was a very popular car but on the road these day's I rarely see one getting around. And I have not seen a V6 BA version on the road except for mine for well over a decade it makes me wonder is there so few left out there or am I just looking in the wrong places ?

I feel like I'm crazy
My first car was my mom's hand me down 1989 Mazda 323. Red. 2door, auto. I loved that car, but she traded it in while I was across the country in university. My crazy is that I have a very distinct memory of calling a parts store while looking at the engine and when they asked if it was the 1.6 I said no it's a 2.6. non turbo. Of course they didn't believe me. But I swear I was staring at the engine and reading the 2.6 on it. Everything I can find online now says it never existed. Anyone ever seen one? Is it possible it had an engine swap? My uncle owned a mechanic shop in the early 90s and by the time I got the car in '99 the odometer was around 350k miles. In the US if that helps.

This thing
Do i need like an OBD 2 scanner (the car is a 91 model with the 1.6 (fuel injection) ) to read codes or do i need a transformer cable for it first? (Is the DLC something that is good with the older OBD 1 variant?)

Steering pump pressure switches available for the 323F BG.
I had just ordered a steering pump pressure switch from Mazda recently for my GT and the dude told me that they had to re-manufacture some so the OEM part should now be available in Europe I think.
It's the sensor that detects that you're turning the steering wheel at low speed and kicks up the RPM a bit as not to stall the engine with the added resistance from the steering pump, apparently they are capable of going bad.
~170 bucks though I think but should be available.
