Wow, that’s great! So understated. From brief ownership of my one it was a car that did seem to have potential, glad to see some people are tapping into that.

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

Never seen one of these Familia's/323's that I liked. You changed that, that looks spot on! And it's got a good whack of power to go with it  |

I always had a soft spot for mazda 323's, but this one is truly awesome- so clean and subtle, with a manic engine nestled away there. Superb stuff
Keep up the excellent work, but what is with the seat covers?
<edit> what do your brothers drive?

thanks for the comments.. seat covers are to cover the interior i haven't retrimed yet... rear seats are stuffed and the fronts are from a 90s sports 323 that don't match the black... my little brother drives a ke 35 toyota corolla with a 4age motor in it i also painted this car in his garage..  and my older bro use to drive an RX-5 13B he built.. but has since sold..  |

hey there... really nice car!!!!!! Just bought me a 323 BD too, and will convert it to paticipate in Danish Rally Racing. So what is that engine??... I know that 323 BD had a 1,5litre 115hp turbo engine but don't know the engine code for it, is this the engine?? Where did you get this engine from? I want the turbo engine because there is much more potential in it, even though all 323 BD models from 1,3liter carb to 1,5liter turbo is recognized with FIA and have a homologation attest. If I cant find the turbo engine then I have a set of Dellorto´s for it in 2x40mm and a racing exhaust manifold 4-2-1 in 1,5" and I had a lighted flywheel. All froma 3231,3 BF I raced in for some time ago, and it all will fit on a 323 BD engine. Take a look on my racing web side www.ch-racing.dk (its in danish) and see how I punish a couple of 323 BF, both with Carb engine 1,3liter , injection engine 1,6 (GTX 8valve) and a 323 2wd turbo GT 1,6liter. Hope you can help me best regards Christian |
