fuel Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 just FYI the project discussion link on your build thread links to creating a new topic. Regarding your wheels/PCD - Volvo use 5x108 same as early Holden/some Fords like Mondeo/Focus etc. This site might help you with what used 5x110 - http://www.wheel-size.com/pcd/5x110/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lownslow Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 Shit thanks mate. Yea I'll keep an eye on Holden wheels for sale. Plenty over here in Australia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 You probably don't want to fit 5x108 wheels to your 5x110mm hubs (unless you use wobble nuts I guess). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taistorm Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I have some Phils Rotary repro Mazda 1000 front guards and floor pans. Was told they would also suit sedan initially but they don't. The ute guards have a different shape at the front due to the corner lamps and floor is different. If you're interested in buying I can't send through some more details.

Taistorm Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Sweet base though! There's like next to none in nz so good to see some more rolling about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lownslow Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hey taistorm, I'll let you know about those guards once I get further into the build. Loving your build by the way. You should get in quick with Phils rotarys, as apparently he is closing down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taistorm Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 No worries bro they're not going anywhere and i'll do them for a sweet price. Hah cheers bro, slowly getting there with the 1300. Not keen on getting anything else from there - I was ill informed on these bits and that put me off + all there second hand parts are so damn expensive for the condition they're in.

lownslow Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 Thanks mate. Yea their prices are pretty steep but might go for a look, it's only down the road from me. Might get a few bits cheaper if he's closing down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taistorm Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Yeah fair enough didnt realism you were in aus. Might be worth getting some o.g Mazda material if you're looking at retrimming the interior though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taistorm Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Realise** fucking auto correct... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lownslow Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 Yea I'm Brisbane. Will look at interior later on. Need to find some widened steelies. Do you know if it's difficult changing to sedan disk brakes up front and stud pattern all round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taistorm Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Not sure man, havent really had a look at the setup on the utes but I reckon it will probably be a simple conversion. Would be going from 5 stud to 4 stud though and 4x110 which has fuck all wheel selection if you're looking at changing down the track? I should have complete front disc brake setup (hubs, discs, calipers and disc shield/backing plate) I think the bearings arent there though and would require pads (discs may need a skim and calipers may require rebuild). I remember them being piss poor but I only drove around on the setup for a day and may have only needed a bleed. Would pay to jump on Stalk book pages.. Mazda collectors and Restorers, Mazda 1200 / 1300 group?, Perth Rotary are pretty good as well. I'm sure the guys on there will shed some advice. Also after having a quick look I also have an original air cleaner, and radiator both in decent used condition if you're in need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lownslow Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Yea pretty limited with either 4x110 or 5x110, but at least with 4x110 old JDM wheels pop up sometimes. Ill have a look on some facebook pages. Id be keen on your disk brake setup but id imagine the frieght to Brisbane would be a killer?

Taistorm Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Yeah fair enough. It would be about $50 I would think. Would sell them cheap for $50 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lownslow Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 That would be great man! Appreciate it. Im off back to NZ next week for a week, so will PM you when im back to sort it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lownslow Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Thanks mate. Just going to be a simple daily driver, lowered on wide wheel, mirrors etc. Can't decide on an off white or cream colour at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
