"It has a lot of potential"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Wheel bearing (right side) $30 pressed

in.

Belt (just needed one) free.

Driver window needs fixing (from people messing around with it)

Mirror, windshield wiper, and right fender (from racing and going through chain link fence)

General comments?

I have a lot of respect for this car now. I know I have not been nice too it at all and it still going.

I bought it for $300 (CAN) it was mint and haven't put much in to it since.

I've tweaked with the turbo getting about 10psi out of it (free).

I cut the exhaust right to the manifold piece. A lot of power, it sounds good and not to loud.

Make shift cold air (free).

It needs a rebuild bad (low compression).But still hauls.

For a 3 banger

I have a 81 Monte Carlo that's very quick VERY. But the Mazda isn't bad to go too work in.

I don't think it handles to well (it pushes bad) but it not to too bad for stock.

In the end she is a keeper for life. It's well built.

I want to see what it will do with a rebuild and a inter-cooler!?
