1988 Mazda 323 GTX
Click picture for larger view


This car is a real sleeper - looks like a little econobox hatchback, but boy
can it move! It is very light, powerful, and nimble. This model was quite competitive in rally racing.
Although it can't compare to the quality and solidness of the
Audi quattro coupe, it is a heck of a lot
faster (!) and a ton of fun to toss around.
Just a little four-wheel-drive machine with a 1.6 liter 16 valve four
cylinder turbo motor, on the highway it will outrun anything short of a Corvette
or Porsche 911. I bought it second-hand and ran it for a few years before selling it
to Charlie Crutchfield. It has been
very well kept and is loaded with performance and "style" enhancements:
- HKS EVC variable turbo boost
- HKS PFC-CON fuel injection controller
- HKS PowerFlow air intake system
- Rod Millen Stage 2 suspension upgrade
- HKS free flow stainless exhaust
- Uprated alternator and lighting
- HKS turbo-shutdown timer
- OMP drilled aluminum pedals
- OMP harness seatbelts
- Panasport wheels (Dunlop SP8000 tires) In the winter I run the original
alloys w. Blizzak snows
- MOMO steering wheel and alloy shift knob (not in photos)
- Decals removed

So many people were sending me email, looking for a car like this or selling a car like

If you like this car, you would like the Subaru Impreza Turbo 2000.
