Stories of your Mazda Ownership (Funny or Sad) - Page 2

I've been challeneged 3 times in the 2 months of owning my 7 and won all 3 times. I don't start shit, I just finish it. This is with low compression and no mods. Just wait till I get my engine ported and rebuilt and mod from there.

yeah i cant wait to steal it after that, i mean i cant wait to see your track times

heh, If there's ever a nationwide meet that we both attend (unlikely) I'll be more than happy to show you what it can do, actions speaker louder than possibly false posted track times. I'm going to wait a while to get into autocross, I need about a year to restore it. It's ok I've got no where to drive and I can walk to where I'm going to work. I get the job over summer to pay for the restoration.

sounds like you would post a fake track time, j/k i know what you mean, what you should do is when you get it fixed up take a friend with ya and have him videotape your time.

hehe ignore the editing message, it's the same, that's because I hit edit instead of quote haha. Not used to being a moderator. Ok here's what my post was suppoed to say.

"I would but my car's exhaust would shatter the camera lense. (haha ricer excuse) j/k but after the resto I want to film at put up some driving videos. A small camera in my grille, one behind the front wheel, one in a friend's car, and a couple of shots from roadside."

sounds like fun hope to see it soon

well I need around $4300 to port and rebuild my engine which I hope to aquire before this year is over. Starting with a job in the summer. So it may be a while. It will run like a beast though.

well why dont you ask Vegas for the money, he bought my turbo

So, it is kind of a weird story, but my first car that was mine (not one I just used) was an 88 Mazda 323 hatchback. It was red, but for $900 that's fine - I hate red cars - and it only had 150,000 miles, which is not bad for a car that old. It also had NO rust which is hard with our NH winters...snow and salt are cars worst enemies. So I got it (cash) and brought it home and started fixing the little things. I had it for 2 years and in that time, I replaced a bunch of parts that were going bad (including all 8 wheel bearings!!), painted the car blue, and totalled it twice. After the second time, I decided it was time to sell it and get a new car, so I bought a '94 MX-3 (the one I have now) and stuck a for sale sign in the 323 because they were only going to give me $300 for trade. Some kid bought it from me, with 230,000 miles for $1000 (100 more than I paid two years earlier), sight unseen!!!! I kept tabs on it for a year, then found out he was selling it again. So, I tracked it down, took a look at it and considered buying it back. He was also selling it or $1000....with 300,000 miles! It sold (don't know for how much), but I saw it the day before I joined this forum while I was on the seacoast visiting a friend of mine. It was at a gas station, filling up. To be honest, I can't even believe that that car is still going strong, and still has no rust on it. It was a great first car for me, and I know it is a great first car for someone else now. The funniest part of it is the sticker. I had a license plate that read "PRNZ-S" (my nickname at the time), and the car became known as that. When I sold it, I put a sticker on it that read the same thing, just to keep the name. When I saw it the last time, it still had that sticker on it. So my little princess is still treating someone very well! (Oh, and in case you are wondering, I know it is my car for reasons other than the sticker...there aren't that many 323 hatchbacks out there painted Porsche blue!!!

haha awesome. Mazdas last forever. well at least, your piston ones do.
