Yet another project car :)

I picked up a 323 GT Sedan a while back. From what i have read only 2000 of these sedans were made worldwide and only made 1 year by mazda. The car got a full ground up restoration. No bondo was used on the body. Only real metal was welded in where needed. This may be the cleanest 323 GT sedan in canada. Custom Passat Paint. Motor was completely redone ground up with a hybrid vj11/14 turbo (for now). Suspension... brakes... bushings.. ball joints... tie rods.. basically every part was replaced. Full stainless steel 3" exhaust. Except for the rims the car looks 100% factory. Haven't made it to the dyno yet... but i am guessing approx 200hp. car is only 2000lbs.

Today my isuzu impulse rs arrives :)

Already have ;) Took out quite a few highend cars this summer with it.

I like sleepers. I couldn't be bothered to drive around a car that everyone knows has power. I could go buy a car like an A6 or A8 but its more fun to buy a shitbox and beat an A6 or A8 instead.
