lol - dice throw.. it had a peculiar sound, but dice throw - nice one capsat.
karsaz engg - its not just the design, its the way a mazda drives - the guys at toyo kogyo have the secret sauce - they still do. I recently bought a mazda 6 - (first gen) - and its a hoot to drive, it feels like its on rails. Compared to my other cars like the camry I repaired, the camry is about as exciting as a pound of dirt.
my first car was a mazda 808 - which was given to me by dad, and the strange/irritating/best part - it was towed home, engine needed work, suspension shot, wiring was dodgy, clutch was shot, brakes were bad, paint was not maintained. - Im pretty sure he didnt pay much for it - I think he got paid to take it.
so there I was - a young student armed with whatever tools I could gather/borrow/buy and got to repairing it. Old book bazaar got me a service manual for it and the rest is history.
learned that emtpy transmission cases make excellent jack stands.
