Hi Dudes, I just picked up what I'm hoping isnt, but likely will be a basket case of a 323GTX. A little history, this will be my 7th Turbo AWD car, and I am a sucker for late 80s early 90s jdm junk. I picked this beauty off craigslist this past week for a price I couldnt pass up and will be updating this log frequently.
First thing is first... here is what I know or was told from the PO.
Boost was cranked up to 20psi, turbo go boom. the turbo is now gone, and the PO began tearing down and rebuilding the engine, but its half way done and in pieces at the moment. Ill get better pictures tomorrow. but I know for sure, either it needs a slight rebuild or a donor 1.6. Good news for me is I know a thing or 2 about BP series engines since I own a turbo miata as well with a custom turbo setup on it. So fans of the Mighty car mods series will know why ive loving and affectionately named it the red turd, here it is. These pictures were taken before it even got home.
Sweet carbon fiber hood!
Stickers, new tires and a tiny bit of bondo!
Missing engine bits, but it has Super Tones!
So 80s!
Giant boost gauge!
Thanks
-Kevin
