Hmmm your right mate, should just put practicality first, im doing £60' in fuel a week. Plus still got the mb4 for a bit of fun Yeah were only running small bhp but vtec makes up for it!

I know its so tempting, think they shapes spot on , but nagging thing in my head saying (slow car slow car) but after all its just a economical daily commute car....so yeah looking very likely

No mate! Had a bora 150 tdi and a golf 130 tdi, to many related problems, main reason ai vowed never to buy german again, had a primera 7 years before the golf not one problem, golf was in the workshop non stop, clutch, flywheel, turbo, intimettant starting (never sortd it!) , various sensors, some expensive! Cut me in half and ill have the rising sun running through the middle of me (Although tbh honest mate I did love the drive of the golf thats why I spent so much keeping it going!)

Nice mate, lets see? well this could be be the shortest build thread already, hopefully should be sold by monday. Its japanese, but at the end of the day its not a Honda

Nice one lads

Matt how the hell did you find a red jazz with racing hart??! Think its a done deal!

So its looking like a jazz, red one with my racing harts would look good...

Nice find phil!

That insight mad! Mmmmm

I know mate jazz or fit as they are known in the usa do,look alright modded dont they? Think i need to drive one, see what the engine feels like. The mazda got 147 bhp but feels so flat

Yeah should check the swift actually, meant to be good cars, I heard those 1.6 sport gutless as well compared to my mb4 K swapped jazz would be alot of fun though!

Yeah always thought a toedus wold look good set of rims etc, but i have distant memories of having a clio, and generally it falling to bits Dont think its got hud, although interiors look quite nice. And all,my 4x100 wheels in my garage would fit...plus its a honda! Love the look of the mazda and always wanted one, great car just not great on fuel for lacklustre performance, at 31mpg I would rather run a mb6, least would be exciting, but really looking at 40+ mpg Never been a fan of the ep shape tbh

Anyone know if engine swaps possible??

As some of you know I have a mb4 and a mazda 3 I bought the mazda 3 because I wanted something more modern and comfortable to drive on my 60 mile commute. Thing is the mazdas quite boring, not that fast and not that economical (last fill up 31mpg) Now I can put up with not fast and economical but not slow and uneconomical! Was thinking renault modus dci (60-70mpg) but dont think can bring myself to buy french c**p Only other thing I can think of, modern and economical a Honda Jazz, anyone had one? I know they are slow but then the mb4 wasnt that rapid but still fun My budget is £2000-£2500 and i want something 2003/4

Should have made a 'guess the car thread' A4 b5 touring car

Decided to spray the car........

Haha no just a metallic top coat, bit flake like!

No mate just messing about on colour splash! Its arrived...all i need now is some good weather.....could be a long wait

Pyschedelic cowprint! Dont worry not going camo just messing about! Its all about the matt!

Better than camo!

Quarterly, bit of a killer but handy

Got another cool idea. They do a clear coat as well which turns metallic into matt. Definately a plan for the summer, matt metallic blue a winner....

Good plan, ill do that. I know its well handy even if it does cost me £520 a year!

Not photowhoring but thought id put a couple of pics up in case people having a quick look for cotm and cant be bothered to look through the whole thread

Cheers NIck
