    XelderX's '88 323 Wagon

    I've had this wagon for about 5 years now and it has been a great vehicle. It's got MX3 Recaro front seats, RX-7 GSL-SE rims, 1st Gen Rx-7 four spoke steering wheel, and some getto fabbed coilover sleeves and lowering springs. It's been sitting now for almost a year as the motor finally gave up the fight. Not bad for over 300,000 miles.




    I finally found some time to get her running again so I'm currently working on a DOHC swap from a Capri, possibly using a 1.6L Miata shortblock to up the compression a little. I'll get current pictures of the progress soon. I spent most of today cleaning the engine bay and installing the DOHC wiring harness.

              LOL...don't get too excited guys. This car will be my daily driver so I'm not doing anything amazing to it. The DOHC swap just seems like the right move considering how weak the stock B6 is and the LTW flywheel is just laying around in the garage so I might as well use it. I'm not planning anything farther than that right now as reliability is my main concern. New axles, front ball joints, and wheel bearings, and windshield are also being replaced.

                  They're freaking rare. (at least in my area they are) I've been looking for one for years but they're always on the west coast or out of my price range.

                          I'm also looking for a gauge cluster with a tach so if anyone sees one in a junkyard pull it and I'll pay you for it.

                              I've been looking at condensing "Honey Wagon" down to fit on a license plate for when I get it road worthy again.
