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...

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
