1993 Mazda 323 GTR

Hey guys, names Brandon... I'm new to EvoM... Always checked this site for good deals on Evo's but never registered. Owned a 2005 Evo8 SSL for 4 years before I had to sell it. Absolutely loved the car and treated it like my child haha.

I just picked up a 1993 Mazda 323 GTR bone stock imported from France #135 of 200
Hopefully soon I'll be able to get back behind the wheel of an Evo

I haven't really decided what I'm going to do with the car yet... It's so rare and to find one that is unmolested is almost impossible. Right now I'm trying to bring it back to life, it sat in a barn since 2002... I'm also trying to purchase a spare drivetrain that is for sale locally right now out of a familia gtr race car that has a big turbo with supporting mods that has to be exported within the next 30 days.

Thank you... It's such a cool little car, hopefully it stops raining soon so I can change the fuel pump and take it for a spin

Found this video on youtube and it made me laugh.

I live in southern Maine... On the outskirts of Sanford.

Here's a couple pics of the evo I owned for 4 years before I sold it.




It's mods were:
hks 3" turbo back
high flow cat
hallman mbc
aem intake
hks 280 cams
reflash
wally pump
ams motor mounts
greddy rs bov
and a few other things I can't remember

This is what happened 2 weeks after I sold it


I regret selling that car everyday

The ultimate sleeper besides a dodge omni glh hahahaha.... Must of been a fun car to drive. You should have kept it as a beater to keep the mileage low on the evo!

Before the 4wd protege i had a fwd protege with same setup but i had no traction at all. Then i found the 4wd protege and i swaped engine and other mods and i boutght 323 gtr trans for it. It was perfect sleeper, but i never ran on a track with this mods because i didnt want to blow up anything, i know for fact that even gtr tarns is not as strong as evo or dsm trans. If you have any question just ask. I hope you will enjoy it.

Thanks man... Right now I'm trying to figure out why the fuel pump isn't turning on... It's so much different than working on a dsm/evo lol
