Wow! Look at the price of gas! Only $3.23.9/gal..... I want to go to that gas station!
Yes, that is a 2nd gen GTU RX-7 with rear spoiler. Did you look at the ebay auction? I measured several 2nd gen spoilers and they are too wide (side-to-side). I do NOT see how the owner of that red 323 could have used it. I'm pretty good with fabrication of parts like that and even I'm not willing to attempt to hack that thing in half in order to take out the 3-4 inches necessary to make it fit. I've tried it with another spoiler and I gave up because there were too many mods necessary to make it fit. The two good things that the 2nd gen spoiler has going for it in terms of adapting it to the 323 is that all 4 mounting points are relatively flat and the spoiler is very straight/flat over all making it contour well to the back of the 323 (being that the 323 rear trunk is so square). It's also a spongy-soft material which I'm not sure would make it easier to deal with or harder. Again, I think that the 1st gen spoiler that looks almost identical to the one in the picture you posted might work better because I believe it to be smaller across in measurement. The end mounts might be challenging since I don't think it's as flat as the 2nd gen, but because it's foam inside the spoiler, it might not be tough to just bend it for mounting.

Came across some old pictures from when I did my brake upgrade. I'll post some of these on the thread about the brakes too. The first picture is the stock front rotor side-by-side with the Galant rotor.... no contest. I don't think I'm ever warping these.
Here's when I was cutting the the hub ears down so that it would fit inside the Galant rotor hat.
Here's what it looked like when I got it to fit.
Here are the longer bolts I used. I think they were Pontiac something or other....
Getting closer....
And, Whalaaa.... cross-drilled rotors added.

It will be a week or so before I go to the wreckers. I'll take some pics of the spoiler for you and post them in this thread if that's alright.1988 Mercury Tracer. (aka Ford Laser)

No, you're wrong...... it's worse than ever! LOL
I've got so much junk stacked up right now from so many projects....
Light fixtures that I bought that I still need to put up, siding for the shed, leftover shingles from the shed, two outboard motors that need to go on the boat, upholstery materials for re-doing the inside of the boat, car parts galore, and so on.....
So many projects, so little time....
