Mazda 323 FTW. Mine is doing its daily duties great. Cheap on fuel, service costs pretty much nothing, as everything is shared with a Lazer.

Its like a up market corolla!

+1 for the 323 :thumbsup:

Our current one has now done 145 000km, and I've only had to replace a regulator mechanism in the drivers door. $120 and in stock today. Parts are cheap as and it does 6.5 L/100km rain, hail & shine.

Eunos? That 2 door thing? Or was there anbother one as well.

You want a granny spec 323- rear blinds and wool seat covers, steel wheels.

Then a 1/2 cut Famila GTR motor and box- forget the rear wheel drive, just run the front- that'd be a sleeper.

There was 323 in the mid 90's that had a 2L v6 in it, would be a cheap reliable daily, looked at one as a first car on my p's

yeah a eunos 30X, i dunno if the engine was any good, but they looked half ok

Same 2.5 litre V6 as the 626, beautiful engine, but when they go wrong; and they do... BIIIG dollars.

It came in the Eunos (as a 1.8 litre V6) or as a Mazda 323 Astina hard-top (4-door sedan) as well as Astina hatch.

Yep, same block, but the 323s were a 2.0 litre and Eunos was a 1.8 litre, (co-developed with Suzuki, I believe, and used in V6 Vitaras from that era and plenty of years after). Was a beautifully smooth engine. A mate had a 626 with the 2.5 and put an exhaust on it, and it sounded lush! I'm guessing the 2.0 would be just as nice to listen to.

Has anyone seen the movie "RED" with Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman and John Malkovich in it? I was watching that and noticed that Jetwreck has a doppelganger in one of the other major roles...

    • Hey, it's me! Though honestly, if I had 20M in my bank account tomorrow, I would not want to be rid of my car all of the sudden - Which makes me think this is money stuff, not "I actually hate car" stuff. I'd probably double down and buy even more trinkets and fun things for it. If this is not you, then sell it cheaper. It will sell at a certain price after all.
    • This is the LCA mount reloctaion kit. Self explanatory in its description. https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=62&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c These are the alloy subframe bush inserts that I am using. I like them. https://au.gktech.com/products/rear-subframe-slip-in-collars?_pos=29&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c Alternatively, if you have original and shitty bushes, you might consider outright replacement with poly. https://au.gktech.com/products/polyurethane-rear-subframe-bushes?_pos=28&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c I would also higly recommend that you look into adjustable RUCAs and tension rods, so you can sort out the camber and bump steer behaviour, especially if the car will be any more than ~15mm lower than stock. I would also highly recommend the GKTech FUCAs, although you really should do some research and learning on the subjetc of R32 FUCAs before making any decisions. All of this will be criticaly difficult to get through a TÜV inspection too, if that happens to be relevant to you. Note that if you do install the relocation kit, you will absolutely have to replace the associated bushes with spherical joints (you can read all about that on the product page) or upgrade the LCAs also.
    • I picked up my block and head last week and have been slowly assembling it since then. Pictures I took earlier this week. The rest of the auxiliaries are on now. I just have my intake manifold runners to tap for my WMI direct port setup before putting it back on. I should hopefully have the motor back in by this weekend.
