Got the car off jack stands, first time in 6 months. Just need to track down a left side axle, hook up the electrical, drain the gas tank, install master cylinder, new front brakes, coolant system install, fluids, fab a new exhaust.....damn, a long way off still. Can't wait to see if it'll run and how it will with the 9:1 auto miata long nose longblock.
Here's a pic of the capri subframe I installed. Notice the cross linkage connections at both LCA's and the front bars going to the radiator support. Also deleted the rubber washers where the subframe connects and put new 8.8 grade bolts in.

since my 323 gt started smoking i started gathering parts to do a bp+t swap thinking the rings were toast..
haha so today i decided for the hell of it i would take the intake pipe off and test the turbo for shaft play thinking maybe thats why the car is smoking. (in the past every b6t i have had it was the rings going bad and the turbos were always in great shape so i figured the turbo once again would be fine meaning the engine was prob toast)..
BUT!! the turbo has so much shaft play i dont even know how it makes 10 psi haha it has so much in and out like seriously 3/4" of in and out play.. i think i found the smoking problem . after i saw the turbo was bad i did a compression test to make sure i was correct in my theory that its just the turbo causing the smoke.. compression was 130 accross on a cold engine which tells me the engine should be good to go !
Wednesday im going to the local junkyard for half price day and getting a full vj-11 and throwing it on. we'll see how it runs! 18 psi with my new conquest intercooler and el prototype ecu should pull pretty hard!'88 mazda 323 GT

18lb's is probably the top of the efficiency range for the VJ11. Back in my MX6 days that was the accepted norm at mx6.com.
As for the capri member that's all factory. Only issue getting it was the LCA bolt nut spinning on the car at the junk yard, the Makita I took helped me with that. Two front bars run to the lower bolts on the front tow hooks.
I remember my first car (89 323 SE) taking out the wheel bearings to the point of obscene noise. Here's the only pic I have of the car, doctored up to see it better, as the photo has faded. Picture was taken in '95.
