Hey, Im new...

[SKAR]

Hey, my names Sean, im in Ontario about an hour from Toronto.

I bought my 323 a few months ago for $150 to use as a parts car for another cagged 323 I was going to buy (still might)

And the car has been fun so far, thought Id join the forums to read about them and get some ideas.

Just before christmas I picked up a non turbo BP for $40 from a guy in the local club out of his escort GT, the plan being to turbo it and drop it into the caged car.......

so many ideas

Welcome!!

Thanks for the welcome

yeah

once again a NOOB to a forum

Turpro, I read a thread on the escort forum involving you turboing a bp which helped me make the decision to try it, never owned a turbo car before

Im 18 now, finished highschool about a year ago with "honors" in technical studys and finished the first year as my apprenticeship as a mechanic last spring as well (highschool done early so I could go to college early too)

I need to get this car DONE

[SKAR]

yeah thats the thread, i have a link to it saved for later

I dont have many pics, just a few from before I bought it, which the previous owner took (close up, none of the entire car)

but heres a few from when I had it out on the lake





The Nissan and Jeep couldnt do donuts but of course, I had to show them up with some nice reverse donuts...... (im not easy on cars, but do drive sanely on the road)

[SKAR]

Well since I like whoring out my cars

heres a few going in reverse order





and its sad end (car was bent badly and had tons of problems)


before that







sold the bmw last summer..... (miss it more than anything)


and my long time project

like it was when I first dragged it home



pretty much as it is now still needing a ton of little things (im into bare bone cars)



and finally the first car that was "mine"

[SKAR]

and more





and by far the coolest thing ive owned



blew the engine while driving beside a truck doing 60ish (kph)

[Turpro]

I want that body style M3

[SKAR]

I got sick and sold it after being stuck in bed for a few months, I didnt even get to see it drive away, one day Ill get another

it was a 318is, heated black leather with all options

You bastard...you picked up the BP off the casc forum from Cobourg didn't ya?? I was supose to grab that but my buddies truck broke down and I didn't feel like hauling another engine/trans in the back of my Mazda 3.

Well good to see another 323 in Ontario! From the pics I'm sure I'll be seeing you at some auto x this summer!

Cheers
