A couple of pics of my new DD ( She aint pretty )

Just bought this, It's a 1988 Mazda 323 GTX. AWD 1.6 Turbo. Should be pretty light. It's only got 60K miles. This was pretty much the cheapest AWD Turbo car I could find that was'nt a GSX or Talon. Should be fun on some gravel roads. Anyway I'll be in possesion of the car next week and will put up some more pics of the not so beautiful but fuctional ride.

323GTX's are fun little cars, be sure to check out the GTX forum/message boards that are out there.

stock they were 132hp at 8# of boost. I've played with a few running as high as 18-20#. Transmissions and the secondary shafts are the weak link once you start making over 250 foot-lbs.

I paid 5K for it, So not quite as cheap as a decent DSM. I was'nt interested in a eclipse or talon so that only left a Galant VR4 which I could just not find one I liked that much.
