Right, so, I've recently fallen head-over-heels for the little red 1993 Mazda 323 hatch 1.3i DOHC 16valve LXi in my garage...
So I was thinking about a rallying 323 and remembered the rare 323 GT-R.
It's got a 1.8litre DOHC 16valve Turbocharged engine under it's vent littered hood... BOOORING I hear you say? Talk to the Quiggs? What If I tell you that it produces 210bhp as standard... No? Well, It's got 4-Wheel-Drive, no electronic crap to ruin playtime and the capacity (with some strengthening of the gearbox) to produce in excess of 400bhp... Now your fapping? - You should be...
This little pocket rocket was produced from 1992 - 1993 and in it's short production life span out popped 2,200 examples, only. 300 for gravel rallying...
Stock, this baby can manage a 12second 1/4mile time and 0-62mph in 7seconds.
As I say, with the gearbox all beefed up, you've around 400bhp per tonne to play with...
Sound like fun to you?
It's goddamn cheap too, how does £3,800 sound for a 1993 model, in pristine condition, having only covered 56,00miles in it's life sound to you?
Like a dream come true?
