Newbie from Western Australia

hi all , im shane long time mazda fan , first car was a 1991 mazda 626 which i drove to 440,000 before the gearbox started to go , due to riding motorcycles i sold the 626 and have been riding bikes around since. last week i came across a 1991 astina bg for sale with rego for $300. girl said she was driving along and it died and wouldnt restart. went to have a look and could hear it trying to start the first time and then not. sounded like fuel so i got it home and tested fuel pressure and sure enough the fuel pump was shot. pulled it out and found a seal was loose so put it back on and she fired up and drives bloody awesome for a $300 car :P. has some body work issues but i hope to get them sorted over time. feels great to be back in a mazda

cheers guys

here is the astina , missing pillar plastics and lots of little rust spots on it and chipped paint. also the engine has 454,000km on it but i suspect it has had work done as it runs so smooth.



plan is to get it as clean as possible with some nice rims. wont worry about preformance mods at this stage as in geraldton it takes 15 mins to get from one side of town to the other and the speed limit is only 60 lol

here is my fun ride for when i want some speed. its a 2013 yamaha fz8n

started having issues with the fuel pump again so pulled it out and then went to my magna parts car and pulled the fuel pump from that and made it fit. works a treat. nice to be able to turn the key and have the car start first kick rather then waiting for it to build up pressure.
