Mazda 323 FTW. Mine is doing its daily duties great. Cheap on fuel, service costs pretty much nothing, as everything is shared with a Lazer.

Its like a up market corolla!

+1 for the 323 :thumbsup:

Our current one has now done 145 000km, and I've only had to replace a regulator mechanism in the drivers door. $120 and in stock today. Parts are cheap as and it does 6.5 L/100km rain, hail & shine.

Eunos? That 2 door thing? Or was there anbother one as well.

You want a granny spec 323- rear blinds and wool seat covers, steel wheels.

Then a 1/2 cut Famila GTR motor and box- forget the rear wheel drive, just run the front- that'd be a sleeper.

There was 323 in the mid 90's that had a 2L v6 in it, would be a cheap reliable daily, looked at one as a first car on my p's

yeah a eunos 30X, i dunno if the engine was any good, but they looked half ok

Same 2.5 litre V6 as the 626, beautiful engine, but when they go wrong; and they do... BIIIG dollars.

It came in the Eunos (as a 1.8 litre V6) or as a Mazda 323 Astina hard-top (4-door sedan) as well as Astina hatch.

Yep, same block, but the 323s were a 2.0 litre and Eunos was a 1.8 litre, (co-developed with Suzuki, I believe, and used in V6 Vitaras from that era and plenty of years after). Was a beautifully smooth engine. A mate had a 626 with the 2.5 and put an exhaust on it, and it sounded lush! I'm guessing the 2.0 would be just as nice to listen to.

Has anyone seen the movie "RED" with Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman and John Malkovich in it? I was watching that and noticed that Jetwreck has a doppelganger in one of the other major roles...

    • No-one in Aus/NZ would pay that much, because they remember when a turbo Skyline/Silvia was a cheap but awesome alternative to the mediocre shit sold here locally at the time. I'm sure over in USA there are enough trust fund kids who will have their R34 GTR, whatever the cost
    • I am stuck with enthusiast and very unhappy, even though Lumley, Shannons and Famous are all options, they all require a lock up garage, and my situation (basically a walled off compound from the street) is insufficient because the car is under a carport. I'm confident to resolve the situation I need to build a roller door with fascia in-front of my roller gate which is a solid opaque metal rolling gate. In any other universe moving the roller door 2 meters in-front of the garage door would still constitute the same amount of security but oh no. My insurance rates suck to the point of when I joined a market research for Enthusiast they were all surprised that I paid about 2-3x what other people were paying with Enthusiast when I asked them why their rates were so high. If I lie about having a garage, I save like $10 a month with enthusiast. (It's about $2600 p.a for 5000km of driving for a very unsustainable agreed value). Lumley has terrible reviews but @Duncan made me consider calling them when renew time came up - but their horrible reviews plus Christmas time made me... forget.
    • Not far. If all you want to do is know that they will reciprocate and move oil around a tiny bit, then a metre or so is all you need. Half metre fore and aft is enough.
    • That's the spirit!
    • It's fine. Basically if it has seized (eg due to moisture/rust in the bores) it will either break free on the starter or it won't turn....then you'll know it is freed up If it turns and doesn't start (reasonably likely) you will need to troubleshoot but most likely issue is a seized injector from moisture; same if it starts but missfires. Anything else could have happened (eg mice nibbling electricals) but the only way to find out is to close your eyes and hit the key I'd also change the fuel filter again after a few minutes of running as it may catch a heap of crap on first start
