well, i finaly own a turbo mazda... and it isn't a rotary

a couple weeks ago i bought a 88 323 gtx from bc, it arrived today

these are some photos that the seller sent me.. i should be taking some other one i might post later on

 

Oh, very nice !!

I wanted one before... good find!

 

thanks

 

SWEET! Those car have some ***** to 'em. Its a shame the GTR's were never brought over to Canada.... ( well they were in Quebec)

 

Looks good Jason. I take it this will replace the newer 323? So you will no longer be a "Riverdale Honour Student". If so, it will be basically a winter beater then. With the turbo, but get some REAL good winter tires - i.e. with 4" spikes! lol

 

Sweet, Will be hard for you to decide what to take to the solo2 events now

 

i was scared when i read the title, heh.

sweet car though. time to up the boost...lol

 

Great to see that it worked out for you!

Did you use Hansen's to ship it?

Looks like it's going to be a lot of fun!

 

Lotsa fun right there. Don't know if they'll work with the GTX but I have a set of front axles w/ CV joints from 88 base 323. Drove the car 5k with them before scrapping the car. I'll let them go cheap if you need them.

 

Nice ride J!!!

Welcome to the Darkside!!

Lates,

 

Pimp. You will own Will with that thing!!!!

 

nfs05: very, very nice find. At one point I was heavily trying to source out exactly what you have found. Although to soon, when and If you are selling let me know please. In the meantime, enjoy. These cars are a blast to drive around In!

Do you have anymore pics?

 

so jealous!!!! Can't wait to take it for a rip!

Isn't there supposed to be an upper spoiler? Oh, and if I find my 3-ball shifter, it's all yours!

J.

 

yah, no more riverdale high honour student...this car is gonna be my daily driver, for now

not really i might take this once, but my rx-7 is still #1

nope it's gonna remain pretty stock, there such a rare car i want to keep as good as possible.

yah, i did ship with hansens, took i bit more time then i wanted but it's here now.

funny you mention that, as i put it on the hoist yesterday i saw the drivers axle boot is torn, if they fit i would like those axles

thanks, i'm already enjoying it.

damn right, white 323 race, for pinks!!!

i dont think i'll be selling this for a long, long time... if at all.... yes i do have more pics but there to big to post and i dont know how to shrink them

your welcome to take a rip anytime, nope theres no upper spoiler...

 

Hey J.

Let me know when your going to make your yearly trip for the cruise and I'll be more then happy to come again this year!!

I was actually trying to source out somthing more local for myself but everything was pretty rotten.

Awsome find! keep enjoying it. Now you just need to turbo the RX-7! Zoom Zoom!

 

no thanks i like my 7 n/a, so much more fun to drive... although i might buy a tII down the road.

 

Sorry Dude, axles won't fit the GTX. Ah, well.

 

you now have a nice sleeper great car

 

anyone else wants one, there's one for sale on SON.

Sweet example, I've always wanted one of those. Nice that it doesn't appear to have the rear fender rust that most of them seem to.

 

Nice GTX! Looks to be in great shape!

Here's what used to live on my driveway:





Here's my blue car and my friend's GT at his shop:



These cars are tonnes of fun to drive, it sucks that they only made 1243 GTXs and something like 700 GTs. I bet not even a quarter of them are remaining today

 

sweet cars b6t

 

Thank you!

I don't have them anymore though, but they were fun when I had them.

 

Very nice. I'm considering importing one as a DD in the near future. I know parts are hard to come by but just how hard? What's the fuel mileage and overall reliability like?

 

well i just went to pembroke and back 400km for 38liters.... not too bad i guess, i'm not too sure about reliability i've only put 600km on the car up too now, but i would figure as long as you keep it pretty stock there shouldn't be any problems. if you decide to mod it, i here the tranny like to blow apart... the engine is strong though it can handle some pretty good power... nothing like a rotary but pretty good

and you can get parts from mazda as long as you can pay for them... i've ordered quite a few parts already and they got them pretty quick( 2-3 days)
