This car is basically a detuned Mazda Familia GTX with a different body.

It's mounted on the factory location. It replaces the standard ecu. There is more detail in one of my other videos.

Do you mean lowering setup? I don't remember the brand of the springs and shocks, but they have been changed for about two inch lower springs and adjustable shocks. I'm not running coil overs as I don't like how they ride and this is not a race car. I've also upgraded the sway bars and most of the bushes but as everything was done about twenty years ago, it needs replacing.

Mate love the story about it and some history. Wish I kept mine and restored it. I had a black one like yours, went through 4 boxes. It had exhaust that was too large for it, wheels, lowered, and some boost. Sigh!

I am working on a new series featuring this car. I'm hoping for it to be out in the middle of this year. I'm just waiting on my new workshop to be finished.

@@nrkeng lucky you with a work shop

What do you mean "sheepdog"?

I'm thinking of doing a run of keyrings later in the year. Keep an eye on the website or subscribe to the channel.

Thank you.

Once it's tuned I plan on doing something like this.

Do you mean more photos?

@@nrkeng yes had parking sensor and blinspot

I'm updating the website at the moment. I will add more pictures there.

@@nrkeng later give me

Thank you.

Thank you.

Made a good moment for the video for me.

Me too.

Got me 1 in the process

Thank you. I found these cars are best when only lightly modified. Even the non turbos are fun little cars.

So am I.

Thank you. The car hasn't been on a dyno for about 20 years and a lot has changed, but it made about 134kw at the wheels back then. I'm not chasing power with this car as I just want something that drives nice and doesn't destroy gearboxes. If it is any indication, before I did the new ECU the car felt about as fast as my Focus RS in a straight line.

@@nrkeng if it felt as fast as an rs then you have it at a good level. Again very nice car man. All the best

Thank you. I would love to see pictures or video of your car.

Thank you.

Definitely an option but I don't like my chances of finding GTR parts. My plan is to make some custom caliper mounts which gives me a good choice of calipers and rotors. I have been looking at a 5 stud conversion but only if I decide to change wheels.

GTR bits do come up from time to time but are quite rare. Im sure others have done upgrades that utilise the 22v caliper bridge bolt spacing

A video showing the 4wd system is a great idea. I will add it to the list. To be brutally honest about the 4wd conversion it would be significantly cheaper to just buy a 4wd TX3. The turbos have a different underpan than the non turbos and there are significant differences in the wiring and fuel system.

@@nrkeng is the front drive body different from the awd body. I am planning to convert my Ford laser Tx3 to awd. I am from Malaysia

In relation to the body I believe the only difference is the underpan where the drive shaft goes. You really need to have a 4WD donor car to do the job properly. If you don't have the skills yourself, make sure you find a very good auto body technician. I have seen it done before here in Australia on other types of cars (Nissan Pulsar and Mitsubishi Lancer) but they are few and far between as the cost far out weights the benefits. I wish you luck in the conversion and if you do decided to do it, make sure you record it and send me the link.

Thank you.

@@nrkeng I've got a 91 KF2 as well. It's completely stock but needs a freshen up. I like your idea of a resto mod. I want to keep as much originality as I can but also make it usable as parts are getting harder to find.

I would love to see it. If you make a video be sure to send me the link. I totally agree about keeping the original look but driving like a newer car.

@@nrkeng Copy mate. I'll do a video in the future and send the link. It's been well looked after, I bought it from the original owners last year. They bought it brand new from Swan Motors Narrabeen in 1991. It just needs some TLC as any 32 year old car does 👍

Yes. The plus are fouled from too many starts and not enough driving. It usually clears up after driving for a while. The tune on the old computer was also very rich which didn't help.

I would consult a wheel shop for this. However mine are 17 inch and fit with lowered springs.

A walk around video is coming.

It's been 8 months and we are still waiting 😔

It had fouled plugs at the time. They usually cleared out after driving for a few minutes. I'm trying to sort this out with the new ECU.

I'm running an aftermarket ECU so I am using a MAP sensor which replaces the flow meter.

It had fouled plugs at the time. I wasn't driving it enough. Hopefully you still have the TX3. Would love to see the videos.

My wife says too much.
