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...

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
