I drive a Kia Pride CD5, originally with a B1 engine but I have it engine swap to a Mazda Z5 engine. This is my first car and my 2nd year driving a car..
That's me checking the tire.. after my first long trip
New shoes..
here is a low resolution pictures of the engine bay.. will post more pictures this weekend.
Mods in my car:
-engine swap from a B1 to a Mazda EFI DOHC engine.. Z5 powah.. battery relocated at the back, in tank fuel pump.
-cold air intake
-exhaust fan for keeping the engine bay lower pressure
-splash guard
-kayaba gas shocks
Future Mods:
-change my exhaust system because currently I'm still using the stock pipes size, catalytic converter, muffer of my B1 engine
-change my ecu to Megasquirt (will remove MAF) for future mod like turbo installation
-change injectors, hope to find 440cc here or even 360cc
-swap my Z5 throttle body to a BP.. (hope it works)
-lastly Install a turbocharger, aiming for 10 psi max or even 7 psi.. I'll be satisfied..
sweet car any plans on ditching the z5 for the bp?
I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

there is a future plan for a BP swap.. but I would really like to play turbo in a Z5.. A local Mazda Guru here have been successful in making a turbo run in 15psi and beat a BP powered kia on a drag.. and in here there is a 10 to 1 ratio of a Z5 to a BP so its easier to replace.. and its only 110usd for buying a low mileage head and block of a Z5
Nice ride. Looks just like a ford festiva. Did the us fesitva come in a 4dr?
