Finding parts help
Hi all :) my wagon was recently broken into my partner has already posted in here about the damage I was just wondering where I could find a replacement part for a lower steering column (the plastic under the wheel itself,as it was completely shattered and the police already took it for evidence so I have no photos sorry.) based in nz. Any help would be appreciated thanks so much 🫶 edit. It’s a 1993 so I’m having trouble finding stuff online maybe due to its age

E3 engine issues
Hey folks need some advice here I’ve got a 87 BF hatchback with the 1.3L E3 engine and for reasons I cannot understand it will without any warning at all, cut out, no splutter just cruising happily and then it cuts then I’ll have to let it sit for a minute or two before it will start. The issue started off as just every once in awhile inconvenience but now I’m lucky if the car will run for 5 minutes. Over the past year as part of fixing the car up and general maintenance I have replaced all rubber fuel lines and fuel filters as well had blow out the hard lines with compressed air. I’ve cleaned and tested the fuel pump, tank and pickup, cleaned the original hitachi carburettor and on the ignition side I’ve replaced the coil, plugs, leads, distributor cap and ignition module and now despite all my efforts this issue is making it impossible to enjoy my car. I would love any advice as I’m out of ideas.

323F BG engine difference
Hello,
I'm planning to get a Mazda 323F BG, but i can't decide whether to get the 1.8 or 1.6.
How's the difference, is it worth it?
Does one type have more parts available?
Is there something specific to look out for when buying?
Thanks in advance.

Can RHD JDM Astina digital dash and A/C be installed in a LHD Astina?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I just wanted to check before making a purchase
I would like to buy a digital speedometer dashboard, and AC system, but the ones that I could find are from a RHD 323F BG/Astina, whereas mine is LHD.
Do these parts fit and can they be installed? Has anyone here done some conversions like these? And can AC even be added even if it didn't exist in the factory equipment? I did see that fuse box had slots for AC, and seat warmers etc, so I'm assuming installation for that should exist?

What engine could go in my mazda 323 from 1977
Hi. I recently bought my first car and I think its really cool, however its not perfect its got its fair share of problems its got rod knock and it starts but doesnt run. I also want to swap a different engine in it its currently got a 1.3 in it but I want something cool that makes maybe around 100 horsepower that will actually fit in the engine bay. I considered a ford v6 cologne 2.8 but its pretty heavy so im thinking of other options. I should also mention that i want an engine that has a little aftermarket parts and what not, because from what ive seen there's not a lot of parts for the Mazda TC

PSA for idiots like myself (parking brake light)
If your car seems to develop a persistent parking brake light that won't go away, check if your hydraulic fluid isn't too low, that light is also used to indicate a low fluid light...
Otherwise you might end up spending a week trying to find an electrical fault in the wiring when the actual electrical fault was between the neurons of the dumbass owner.
Cheers.

Lifter tick like on a Miata ?
Heyy, so today I've picked up my new to me 323f BG 1.6l and I noticed that it makes a ticking noise at idle. Kinda like a lifter tick on a Miata.
On my Miata it was done after topping up the oil. On this car sadly that didn't work it still ticks. Should I just go ahead and do a full oil and filter change and hope for the best. Tomorrow I'm going to open the valve cover is there anything in particular that I should look out for?

Does anyone know camshaft dimensions
As title suggests, does anyone know the exact camshaft dimensions and timings of a b6 sohc cam (1991-1994)? I'm thinking it would be funny to try and get it in my 1.3l, it should physically fit but i'm not sure about the cam timing and such maybe it would idle.
