    I believe that's exactly right. We didn't get them in the US, so the details are sketchy for me.. but I know I've seen them on craigslist and stuff.

      It had the bumpers and spoilers from a gtx. I can't remember if there was anything other than that.

          From what I remember seeing in the JY: They also had a very similar interior to the GTX or the Tracer, but I remember it being lighter than the GTX. The fabric on the doors was very nice, from what I recall.

            Finally found where us m323p refugees have come to, nice to see you guys again, been a long while. I had two gt's, but a few months back whitey, my perfect one, was destroyed buy some retard in an s10 pickup, so I'm back down to one, and just now recovering from the depression.

                I have a B6T GT, but probably only until the summer. The shell has even more damage than I first discovered, and its no longer feasible to try and repair it. I'll transplant the good stuff into the ghostbusters once I replace the turbo.

                There was a GT hatch in a nearby JY nov/dec. FWD, 1.6DOHC non-turbo, adjustable suspension, don't remember the interior but I don't think it was the same as the GTX (I do remember the rear panels were a real bitch to remove), turbo bumpers, upper spoiler optional, disc brakes (same as the sedan GT). I found a pic I took...

                    NO! Why couldn't he have hit ol' Silver...... Are you okay? What was salvageable from whitey?

                      I am ok, I wasen't in the car when it was hit, I was standing about 5 feet from it though. That was fun to watch her get destroyed right in front of my eyes. I am going to part out what is still usable, which is a lot, she was hit in the rear, kinda up higher because it was a truck.

                          Hey guys. I have a Black GT on 14psi, Turbo II injectors, VJ11 turbo, Rebuilt the motor from the ground up with new pistons from mazda. I just got a thunderbird IHI turbo that I put the backhousing from the vj11. So after I clean that up, it will be going on soon. She has been pissing me off lately though but I cant stay mad at her. I am having charging issues with her and i cant figure it out. I have changed the alternator again and now after its warm and I have drove for a lil bit, the alternator stops charging. I checked all the wiring and everything but nothing so I am going to take the alternator out today

                            Check the output of the alternator with a DVM. On mine, I went through several alternators in a short period. The volt meter in the car would show 10VDC, then jump to 14VDC. This would cause some bucking on the car while cruising.

                            The root cause was the battery cables, especially the Negative cable which was corroded to all hell. After replacing them, and adding a new batch of grounds everywhere else, things have been running smoothly.

                              I tried new grounds and already checked the alternator output and it is dead. So I went to autozone (where I got the alternator) and had them check it on the car and they said that it is bad. So I have to take it out of the car and get a new one

                                Keep an eye on your voltmeter (if you have one). If it isn't showing 14VDC, you might want to check on the battery cables, or replace them. Otherwise, you'll be replacing the alternator again down the road.
