That's the question i had to deal with everytime I see my friends when i first got my 323...
In my "personal" opinion I'd say Honda 88-00 has a perfect body, motor and suspension especially when upgraded. From cr-x to gsr they all look and function great. Ever wonder why there's more Honda tuned cars than any other Makes out there?
But here's a couple of reason why I moved to Mazda.
(this is comparing my 323 to a 93 civic hatch w/ ls swap)
Honda civic, U see them everywhere and most of them have the same style. Same kit, same motor, same rims they all look the same...And when u pop the hood u wont be surprise if u see a DOHC under there.
Unlike my 323, its very rare u see people would know that i have a 1.8 DOHC under the hood. So, they get surprise when i pop my hood and have no i deal wut a bp motor is capable off until i look at them from my side mirror.
Civic hatch is atleast 2 g's and thats not a good condition plus u have to get a motor for another 2 gran for a ls swap.Thats 4 gran total. So, wut happend if u blow the ls motor? well, save up for another gran or 2 to get the ls motor.
323 hatch $500-$1300. I got mine for $850 and look at my 323's condition. $300 for the bp and $100 for the ecu. Thats $400 but if ur lucky to find a bp motor (which is everywhere at my local j/y) and they're haveing a 50% off u get all this for $200. So, wut happen if u blow ur bp motor? Then get another one for $150. U see less than 2 gran including the car u can beat a civic w/ LS swap.
2 days after i sold my 92 civic hatch for $4,500. I bought this 323. I parked it at my driveway and stared at it for 20 mins. My girl came out of the house and asked me wut the hell am i doing? I told her wut the hell was i thinking selling my civic for this 323.
Then the swap came... I was killing honda's right and left not just SOHC but DOHC VTEC's too, v6 accord etc...
I was able to save up some $$$ to change the looks of my 323 to wut u see now.
My friends now are jocking my car for its looks and speed. One of my friend even said," damn! i dont expect this car to look this clean and go this fast" thats' wut my friend w/ a 93 gsr i/h/ex. that i smoked 1 1/2 car length away from my rear bumper...
umm...i think thats all i have to say. Thx for reading. any comment is appreciated peace!
