The Turbo Snail !

[FestivaReed]

So if Sketch is going to make a build thread, i supopose i should too !

Haha, So i have a 1988 Mazda 323 GT , Traded Sketch for the "black box"

Basic Info:
Mileage: 203,xxx
Compression test : 150-150-150-150
Vacuum @ Idle : 20" Hg


So the compression is on the lower end of the factory specs, but i also used MotorVac & Seafoam on it to clean as much carbon out as possible. She smokes a little on startup and untill all the seals warm up, making the assumption that its going to need valve seals or a turbo


Work Performed so Far:

New MooG Endlinks front & Rear
KYB Gr2 Silvers in Back
KYB Gr2 Blacks in Front
New Front Brake Pads
Oil Change
Trans Fluid Change
Lots of Bulbs (exterior)
Wipers
New Cluster Bulbs
Correct Leaking Sunroof

Planned MODS :
- Heated Seats
- EVO 8/9 Master Brake Cyl & Reservoir
- SS Brake Lines
- X Drilled and Slotted Rotors
- Carbon Kevlar Brake Pads
- Fog Lights
- HID Conversion
- Relocate Battery
- Front and Rear Strut Braces
- Poly Bushing Kit
- Vj11? turbo

Haha. Nice. Without a doubt the turbo snail decal was the 2nd to best thing to this car while I had it. 1st was it saying Mazda Familia on it and people in Kias having no idea what it was picking on it on the 4 lane. Happy times.

Enjoy! I'll be watching.
