Carburettor needed adjusting, that's about it, real beast of a car.
Fuse for the radio blew, replaced that myself.
This car has to be the ultimate small 'wannabe' rally car around, handles like an Suzuki Escudo, accelerates like one too, has a good top speed of about 160km/h.
The seats were fairly uncomfortable, until I exchanged them for some recaros (racing buckets). The steering wheel, I thought was too big, so, I also replaced that with an 13" MOMO wheel. My opinion, it was quite high, so, I bought some Koni adjustables, and brought the level of the chassis down by about 20 or so cm's. The motor pumped out a bit of power, which was enough to get the wheels (front) spinning for a good 20 or 30 metres in the back yard. But it still could of done with that extra bit of power, so I installed a Stage 2 turbo. Q. Whats left A. Your dream time rally car.
I am very happy with this car, and hope to keep it for a long time ;)
That is a really good review. I'm currently buying a 323 tomorrow. The other car I was looking at was a '78 Leyland mini. Being only 20, I gave myself two options, to have a tonne of fun in a mini or to get a reliable car. I chose the Mazda. The Mazda I'm getting is as reliable as can be, but the mini almost fell to pieces when I took it for a test drive. I managed to find a 323 with only 116,000 genuine k's on the clock.
