swapping the spindles with toyota upper joints will work and for the drive shaft just take the drive shaft for a machine shop and tell them you want the toyota end swapped to the mazda driveshaft.

for the front, you could either get your spindles machined to take the Toy hub, or get the Can Do tubular arms that accept the Toyota spindles.

well he has the entire front clip off the yota so i am trying to stay away from all the machining. ya think i should just use the whole clip then and build a new frame??

damn, cut off the upper control arm mount from your mazda frame, and build new upper mounting points like Ernie did on the mitsu a few issues ago. it can't take rocket science. be creative. build new upper mounts, and put the uppers from the yota on. the spindle from the yota and the lowers from the mazda. simple 2 hour job.
