    88 Mazda GTX Fully built BPT Swap Plus More. Not Drivable

    First off This car is in need of repair. The damage is well documented in the post listed. The previous for sale add is also listed in the post below.

    This was my previous car that I sold to a friend. I told him I would help him sell it as he does not want to repair it.

    The car is in need of a new passenger side hub. Information can be found In the link. http://www.wihandyman.com/forum/show...xle&highlight=

    Previous for sale add for reference only

    Miles 290K
    Located in Mt. Vernon WA
    Question call or text three six zero 420 four six zero five

    1988 323 GTX with BPT Swap done by Bob Bundy about 42,000 miles prior
    Sold with complete service log and all records and receipts.
    The whole car has numerous mods and is very well sorted, tried and tested on the track and road.
    The interior has been redone with blue Sparko Milano Alcantera seats ($1000 ea.), fitted dark blue carpet, & silver anniversary Schroth harnesses.
    There are 3 large HKS gauges for EGT, Oil Pressure, and Oil Temperature, and a smaller HKS boost gauge.
    The steering wheel is a top-of-the-line Momo, Pilot I believe. OMP aluminum pedals plus left foot brace; rear wiper deleted
    There are no back seats and no stereo. The rear was smoothed, sound dampened, and carpeted. Air conditioning removed.
    There are no cracks in the dash. It has manual windows, sunroof, and analog display (original).
    There is an Autopower street roll bar with brace; The front bumper is just a shell
    There is a custom made 1" receiver hitch for your <1000# track trailer.
    The exterior is monochrome now, with silver-blue paint and clear coat with lavender sparkles -- really!
    I have 2 sets of wheels: original with Dunlap Graspic snows, TSW Hockenheims 15x7 with Kumho Ecsta
    The BPT swap was done by purchasing a JDM front clip, and transplanting engine, transmission, transfer case, and wiring harness
    RX7 AFM eliminates rev-limiter and K&N air filter with cold air intake and Ford Probe GT Intercooler, silicone hoses with t-bolt clamps
    Fuel computer is add on HKS PC-FCON; I think the injectors are stock; Manual boost control running at 16 psi most of its long life
    Magnecore wires and NGK plugs; The battery (Miata type) is in the right rear corner with master switch on fender (outside)
    Turbo outlet and waste gate are separated with custom downpipe; the cat is in Michigan; exhaust is HKS Powerflow
    Transmission is stock with short shifter mechanism custom built by Bob Bundy; clutch is Centerforce; flywheel is aluminum Firdanza
    Brakes are Escort GT front and Miata 1.6 rear, Axxis Ultimate pads, fluid is ATE Super Blue Racing
    Lubricating fluids are Royal Purple except engine recently has been Mobile One
    Rod Millen F & R strut bars plus Lower Stress Bar; Cusco camber plates on 4 corners.
    Adjustable spring perches on Dirtra housings -- 1 with original insert, others with Tokiko Illumina - 2 extra new inserts included
    Eibach helper springs on front; springs are not very stiff (225 & 150#) but the current setup is remarkably effective (extras provided)
    In 2004 the undercarriage was dissembled with parts and wheel wells stripped, primed, painted, and undercoated (3M) and reassembled with new bolts and stainless steel fastenings for trim pieces. Since it has spent its whole life in Western Washington, it has not had serious rust
    All suspension bushings are Mazdaspeed F & R; sway bars are Rod Millen with poly bushings.
    Alignment is dialed in very well; handling is very neutral and forgiving, and brakes strong.
    The engine is very strong, responsive and reliable.
    Includes fitted cover, roof rack and wind deflector

      This was done by the original owner so I could not say, but I know it does not have a rev limiter. Maybe the AFM is not the limiting factor any more as this flows more than stock and the the ECU does not cut fuel due to restricted intake volume. Just a thought.

          that's... not really how rev limiters work.

                    Shoot... I have a set of GTR hubs and uprights that would solve this cars problems in a most comprehensive manner. I just don't wanna nuther project right now.
                    '90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and
                    '90 AWD Protege, yet another GTR swap, Open class rallycar with a Toyota GT4 gearbox swap, thus crossing the line between hobby and mental illness. And a Brabus E55 K8, removing all doubt.

                          the owner will cover the cost of local towing. Does that help make you want it?

                            Is this still available? I'd send up a knuckle with axle and whatever else it needs to get rolling if you or know someone to install it. It's cheaper to buy this than do the BPT swap on my GTX!
