And so it begins....323BG hatch ----> V6 powa with a few extra surprises

[Mazda_Powered]

nice man! Sounds like you have a plan. What's the deal with the Miata? Stock B6? swap? suspension upgrades?

[monoxidechild]

man. how do you find time to do so much with your car's? between work, and my son, im lucky if i get a solid hour of time in the garage a day.

But now I need to find a pair of a-pillar covers (exterior). The driv....errr, the LEFT side one has decided to detach itself from the car on the freeway this morning (only one of its clips was unmolested, so it was only a matter of time).

I have one! I'll snap some pics and PM you tomorrow!

Some pics from today - I didn't really take many of the interior, so here are a few.






















And, a couple of the GTR sideskirts mocked up.

someone broke your car, the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

I keep imagining this car RWD now with the stance it has, such an intimidating car!!

Well lads, it saddens me to announce that the beauty has found a new owner as of this, the last day of April, 2011. I'm sure in due time the new owner will make appropriate announcements, if he's posting on CP.

This has been a great build for me, quite more expensive than I imagined when I started out, and even more challenging than I planned for - but fun all the same.

Time for me to take a car break for a minute, do some work on the Formula SAE team at school, and plan the next project, which I haven't thought up yet - but will probably be as ridiculous as this one.

Thanks to all who have helped out along the way, be it with parts, suggestions, links, encouraging words - it's been a blast, and I've been proud to post on CP, where we have such a well behaved group

I'll see you all in another thread in the future


I think I'm gonna go have a cold beer and crack open my Heat Transfer book to ward off the sadness.

glad you managed to sell it, congrats beer well deserved!

chapter one on the most epic 323 build in history. cant wait to see what chapter two ends up like.

[ratch]

that saddens me. i bet that was an amazing rid to. i honestly have been considering a KL Swap instead of a BP swap for my tracer. mainly i liked this build for the Boost option you put on it. engagable Boost is sweet.

oh but the work it would ensue... im a computer nerd, not a gear head lol.
