My 89' 323 GT

Lol maybe it is abuse haha

I've driven the 323 probably 50kms now and so far everything is still good, I'm half expecting something to go wrong with it yet though but time will tell lol

I find that driving to or from North Carolina is a good way to test out a car.

I find that driving around at Festiva madness is a good way to test your car.

With how this car has been to me so far, I barely trust it to go 10mins down the road, let alone 15 hours to NC lol it'll get there eventually though

So I've been daily driving it now for two weeks trouble free, but it's felt, lazy, just hasn't had the power it should have, so last night I pulled it in the garage and got lookin at the timing belt, sure enough it was out by a tooth and now it's got plenty of power :lol:

Very nice! i have always wanted one of these but hey just seem to never be in usable condition when i find them...

[Damkid]

Hey you never know, maybe mine will come up for sale one day

[Damkid]

Well today i washed/detailed it because i was going to list it for sale, but decided to wait just a bit longer so i figured to at least post the pics here




A little bit of body damage

What a GREAT looking car! Those interior pics make me miss my '88 Tracer I had. That car was fast and comfortable! Why are you selling it?

[Damkid]

the B6T is toast, possibly just the turbo, but i've spent way too much time on this engine to even care about chasing the problems..... i may look into making a few deals to get another B6T for it though before i officially list it for sale

[Damkid]

So tonight i decided to do a little bit of diagnostics, figured to start with a compression test, pulled the plug wires off and 2 of the plugs were completely submerged in oil, 1 was half submerged and the 4th only had a little bit of oil.... i guess the explains to miss-fire it developed lol so i pulled the plugs and decided to wait on the compression test lol hopefully the oil will gradually make its way passed the piston rings, if not then tomorrow its gunna create a hell of a smoke show hahaha

[Advancedynamix]

What happens next?

[Damkid]

Still deciding to be honest lol possibly NA BP, I'm looking at options for another B6T as well and while looking, I found a semi-local GTX for $650 and a ton of spare parts, I could probably sell my GT for enough to get the GTX and at least it has a known good running engine, it's been dis-assembled but possibly road worthy still, I'm awaiting pics lol

GTX > GT
