Alright so I have 2 mazdas I love them to death! The 86 is a champ I love driving it! My friends are like dude just get rid of them and buy a new car. They dont understand. I am 29 now ever since I was 16 I wanted to get one of these trucks and build it never had extra cash to waste until now. That doesnt really bother me I am buying a 300C this week but thats besides the point I will probably still be driving my 86 just as much as I do now I love these little trucks! But I was talking to one guy I know telling him I was going to be putting a V8 in the mazda and he started laughing and calling me crazy he said he would put up his chevy truck against my mazda once I got my v8 in. He was like man you arent even going to finish the race your engine is going to fall out. I was trying to explain that this is common he said people who do that are just stupid idiots and dont know what they are talking about!!!! Now this has fueled me to get my goddamn V8 in there ASAP because I want to beat his fucking ass to the ground and once I win he will never be able to forget about losing a race to an old beat up mazda! I am going to have this video taped and I will be putting it on chevy sites all over the net! Tired of people putting this shit down! fuck them all!
Of course I wont be putting in a V8 for a while hopefully by the end of summer. I want to put in a brand new engine so I gotta save up some mula!
i know what you mean man were i work everyone ask me why i spend so much time working on a 92 mazda instead of just getting a newer one how it will be cheaper in the long run. i just point it out to them that i can rebuild the motor tranny rearend pretty much the hole truck and still not spend what a new one cost. plus i will know how to work on the stupid thing.
If you really want to rub it in this guy's face, don't use a Chevy engine. It's a poor way to decide, but...it sure would be cool to whoop his as with a Lexus 3UZ.
