Hello! New B Owner, Mazda FREAK!!!

Welcome to the site man, nice collection! My gf just says I'm a car hoarder . I only have 7 .

I can vouch for the 94 and 97 being good trucks, I would go for the 97 if you decide to go for a newer model. There are some better parts on the engine and the interior looks much better. On the plus side there is a lot of information out there for adding a turbo to the 2.3L. I hope to start my turbo build in a couple months.

lol funny you mention a 2.3 Turbo, i used to have a Fox Body Mustang that i swapped a thunderbird 2.3T into her, so much more fun than a V8 Mustang i had lol.

Fuuuuuuu I want my taxes back already! Wanna buy my B!

Well, finally a b owner! Picked up the 93 extended cab!

Nice. way better condition than mine. I've a 93 extended 2600i, with 5spd. Mine is all black trim with color matched grille and rims (well grille is now chrome since a deer played tag with me).

She's got her faults. But over all I'm happy. And talked them down from 1650 to 800 lol. I'll have more pictures up tomorrow... maybe I'll even reindex the tortions tomorrow also... hmmn lol

FYI at kurts auto wrecking (pic-n-pull, or pull-a-part) in orem, there's a black 4x4 with decent fenders and bed. I'd go after it, but a 6hr trip with a trailer and tools just isn't worth it to me. It's where I got my chrome grille

hmmmm i might have to run out!


quick question too, will a standard cab Bench seat fit into a extended cab?? the seats in my B are not stock, and are only bolted by 1 bolt... so i'm looking for seats, but if i can do the bench front, then i can technically have enough seats to fit my entire family lol

You should be able to bolt them in, but it might limit your access to the rear seats in doing so. Make a 3rd cushion/seat for the back and add a lap belt in anchored with the other belts, then your up to 5.

well bought some Ranger XLT front Bench seats...... and they didn't fit..... damn.. lol they were nice too! 2 seats, center seat was also a console! damn damn damn!!! least i could return them....
