about to buy a '88 gtx and im wondering what are significant things to look for. apparently the motor was rebuilt with recently with a stock head gasket and says since it was a stock gasket it blew...

heres all i have for what to look for with these things, http://www.roadraceengineering.com/323BuyersGuide.htm

is this a pretty good guide? also is the head gasket fairly similar to other cars of its motor size and year?

much help appreciated, never owned a mazda been a fan of the gtx for awhile. prob lookin at the car tomorrow so whoever responds first wins...

i apprecaite it, i guess message me or leave a reply.

 

Best advice I can give you is to go to yahoo.com, and search for the group 323GTX..I've been a member for a couple of years, and those guys are very knowledgable on the 323 GTX..anything you need, advice, where to find parts (they seem to stockpile parts - and sell them from time to time), and the even keep a count of approximately how many GTXs are still around. It's a great little car that I'd like to own one day, but I haven't found a decent one near me in CA. I do have my 323 hatchback (non-turbo) though. Good luck!
