Boy Toy... :wink:

I am glad to see those Castrol oil cans... Castrol is the way to go, my friend...

yep, castrol is the way to go

more work to do on this
new bigger brakes, new shocks, proper rally custom built and a few mods inside (battery rellocated in the trunk, new gauges, oil cooler, FMIC ...)

That's a 323, right?

A lot of those out here in Canada, I like 'em.

yep, 323
I also have another engine that's just been built
will be tuned at the end of the month
now, need to find a gearbox that will handle the power (this is my 3rd box already) and axles (broke a few already too)

I've got a video of this car on dirt before the engine swap

hehe, ya it is
need to sell the Bimmer to get the subaru

I may end up selling the mazda if I do get the suby
a proper rally box for the mazda is around 8000euros, I can get the suby for half the price, it's already caged and the box will cost around 4000euros, so for the price of the box for the mazda I get a complete car, ready to run

You're thinking the 323 GT-R, which it is not. It's got the same engine and front bumper though :)

yep, this is not a genuine 323GTR.
It is 4wd though, and with the BPT engine, not the BPD

and Fuzzy, that's what the rollcage is for, to prevent you from killing yourself.
