Waaw, that's amazing, where did he find the cylinders to put the third carb on?Originally Posted by McReis
I have a friend who has a first generation 323i and turned it into a 323. What does it mean? It means that he took of the injection and bolted three double carbs.
Performance went up, and the noise....ooooh the noise is beautiful!!!
MPG were down the sink of course. But it is now a proper classic!
On second thoughts: I was thinking Mazda, but you were thinking BMW?

I find the response is better than with injection too, at least stock injection. I've spent more time driving carb'd cars than injected ones though, so for all I know the newer ones are getting better.
Wish I could afford the Weber carb setup for the 351W I wanna build. That would be sweetness having quad Webers sittin up there like a sno-cone.

Sorry to be bad on you HEnk, but now it's your mistake!!!
First generation 323i had already 6 cylinders! Go check it out or just ask Matt. He's someone who knows BMW's very well.

That's it!you quoted my unedited postSorry for being too fast. You see, I'm still 26 so I'm a bit on the fast type....
Yes, I meant BMW. Why would I bother talking of Mazdas 323 in a forum of a page called UltimateCarPage, anyway?
Tha only Mazda I care about is the MX-5 and I'm about to own one.

You will be surprised about the popularity of the 323F in Holland with the ricer community. It seems to be one of the coolest cars around.Yes, I meant BMW. Why would I bother talking of Mazdas 323 in a forum of a page called UltimateCarPage, anyway?

Yeah from 4000 rpm on the Mini sounds like magic, good thing I went for one of the very last carb engined Minis built.

If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

it is even more magical that it can reach 4000 in the first place

I recall loving a ride in an awful AX Sport, just because of the sounds those carbs made. GTI was far better, but the Sport was more on the wild side!
