zero Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Its a 92 mazda 323 hatch. lots of miles, but its in good condition and has only had one owner. It has a nice little head unit and stereo, and it's stick of course. On the outside it has a little bit of rust, but nothing serious, and its only a beater anyway. for having 84 horsepower it is surprizingly quick, but I guess that is because it weighs 1800lbs. It has tiny tiny little 155/80/13's, but man, it can roast them really well if you let the clutch out a little hard. All in all I am very happy about my $500 purchase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 155/80/13's! Do they even make those size tires anymore? Looks like a good $500 beater and gas milage should be pretty good! Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john kosmatka Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 hey I got one of those too! Except its a 1988 is turbocharged and has 4wd, lol. That makes it a little more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Hehe.. yah man, the awd turbos are STUPID quick little cars! I almost bought one last winter to build an ice racer.. funding got cut short though.. Good score Zero.. A friend of mine had one of those for about 2 years; beat the crap out of it the whole time, and it just would not die.. Sold it for $800 (originally bought it for $600!) when he bought his new car last year. (Ford focus. yech.. got a deal, caus he works fr a dealership) The guy he sold it to is still driving it around town.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 DUDE I have one too. last month a new 2004 ford focus slammed into the back of it at a trafic light. Insurance is gonna pay me 650 euro's!!! and I get to keep the "wreck". So now I drive a 2 inch shorter car that is payed for by the insurance. But it keeps going. It already has 230.000 Km on it (about 145K miles). but it just wil not die. And I have 155/70-13 as standard. pretty cheap. It will not let you down ths winter. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted October 20, 2004 Author Share Posted October 20, 2004 well its nice to know that some of you guys have and have had 323's. The reason I bought this car is because my dad had an 88 4 door that ran and ran until an explorer rear ended him at a red light. I am really liking the car, and if I somehow run into a nice little fwd engine/tranny, I may just make a hybrid out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yasin Nice! Youll actually be glad having the fwd'er when you start breaking drivetrain parts. Their pretty hard to find for these cars, luckily their pretty strong. Youll definitely have fun with it though. BOOST ON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
