Spotted Mazda 626

So I'm driving to a parking lot and I'm behind a mazda 626.. I notice a decal on the back window in the shape of Minnesota but the text on the state confused me. It said focaljet... when I got beside the car I noticed another decal right above the 3rd brake light.. it was the mnfocus logo over the outline of Mar's SVT. I was like WTF I wanted that decal when I had a focus... I pretty much had a wtf look on my face and the passenger looked over at me.. saw my expression and they sped off

Was it a 90' Mazda 626? About the color of ducktape?!

I think so.. It had the mnfocus decals... it had to be yours. Did you sell it or do you know that person?

Haha thanks for the pic Tony... thats almost exactly what I saw

No, the old man made me sell it. It went when I bought my old SVTContou. I sold it locally to my uncle who takes part in a used car lot. He sold it to someone, not sure who.

But I loved that car. Wish I had it back..

HAHA, I can't believe this car showed up, and is still rocking mnfocus stickers....HAHA LMAO...

This is it when I had it...

Damn I loved that fucking car....

This is what it looked like when I bought it...and yes. I put that sticker in the back window...it was for the last week I worked at Menards...I parked right near the building so everyone that walked by that worked there saw it...I heard people talking about it in the break room, but never said anything...HAHAHA

Must have been the off road rally edition with the extra long springs huh?

I don't remember it sitting that high. But becuase it got slammed in the rear, it did something to the suspension that gave the car a very sexy rack to it. I always planned on chopping the springs or installing Probe GT springs, which woulda lowered it an inch.

False hopes led to getting rid of it to make room for a V6 Contty.

I actually had an old 626 also, four cylinder manual trans.

Not a bad car until the clutch started slipping and the electrical system started freaking out.

Mine was the tannish gold color.

I replaced a clutch in one of those last year...

Yours looked decent

That car hauled ass ! Under that trunk lip the floor pan was pushed in 24 inches . We had a hell of a time straightening it out to what the finale photo shows ! It had the hardest 1-2 shift in a small car auto that I have ever felt .It jerked your head and neck !! The motor was real torquey ,ran smooth and burnt zero oil. The reason I push Kyle to sell it was that the body was starting to get bad underneath . 6-12 more months and there would have been some unibody issues. That thing had 4 wheel independent suspension and totally adjustable rear camber and toe in. Kyle and I always wish that we could have autox that dam car . I think it might have been a real sleeper !---o6designs-Bob-KATZUP
