GT Owners

[Icedawg]

I have a blue 1989 323 GT with B6T that i have owned two days now. It is a wreck, so I am parting it out, after taking the engine tranny and wiring for a swap in to a Festiva.

Oh and here is some info on the Festiva, it was a bit sorry until just recently:

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

that suckx....i heard them alternator is a bitch to come out. mine wasnt that bad i just droped the down pipe and took mine out from the bottom

Much harder to do on the GTX.

How would you know...... Just because you've own about five of them.... so what. And, where the hell are you anyway. Here I am drinking beer in YOUR home town and you're AWOL.....

I'm in Burbank, partying with the stars. Or sitting in my hotel room.

weird. so it has 4 wheel disc and adjustable suspension? Other than the turbo, not sure what classifies as GT trim

Well, now there's a thought.... Maybe someday when I retire and have more time on my hands (not necessarily more money) I'll find a hatch body in good shape and start swapping over all my good parts/mods over to that chassis/body including the 4-wheel disc brake set-up. Wow, that sounds like a plan.

My old Honda CRX SI (1.6 SOHC) used to average around 35-39mpg city and well over 40mpg hwy... and that was with a lead-footed 19 year old driving.

[Crazy Drummer69]

The 1.6L SOHC in the ghostbusters averages 650km/tank (40L) which equals 16.25 (kilometers / l) = 38.2223698 miles per gallon, combined driving.

I think what Terry was trying to say is, theres almost no way to squeeze 40MPG out of a B6T. But, I just remembered, Mazda Canada decided to butcher the GT Name and make there own with SOHC N/A motors, so that I buy. My old SE sedan can do about 40 on the high ways.

I personally dont consider the Hatch conversion up north to be a GT. A clone maybe....

[Crazy Drummer69]

Canadian GT hatch uses the 1.6l dohc B6 motor and shares styling and suspension (adjustable) with the b6t gt sedan, everything but the turbo. I agree that a b6t won't come anywhere near that for fuel economy.
