if you get the 1.6 or the early 1.8 (mine) they both have a 9.1 comp ratio so canbe boosted easily wihtout to much worry and run anything from 160-250 with peice of mind.
depending on managment.

my 1.8 with the t25 at 0.5bar is awsome, compaired to my gt its piss slow but its a hell of alot more fun around the corners!

Only thing about the Mazda 323 GTR, there rare as rocking horse poo. Parts can be expensive but apart from that i believe there around the same cost for insurance as a 106 Gti (iirc around group 14). Weigh less than your normal scooby/evo and with a little bit of money spent on her can easily be much quicker than one .

Im a tit, just realised it was something later than 1997 lol

Totally agree mate.

 

[Jules-B]

Indeed i would.
But its an Insurance thing.

Company insurance permits me to drive any car, up to 1.8 for one year. after that i can have whatever i like.


That 180sx looks nice, but surely the sr20det is a 2 litre?

 

[eg6b18c]

SR20 is from the 200SX

I think the 180SX uses the C18 which is a 1.8

 

[Corey_gt]

You can get Nissan s13's with the 1.8 turbo engines CA18DET.

 

[eg6b18c]

Thanks Corey that was the engine i was thinking of but couldnt remember the full engine code name.

How about the Octivia VRS Mk1?

Or one of these?

Sorry dude but thats not the way it works at all.

UK 200sx s13's have the ca18det while the jap 180sx's (1991 onwards) have the sr20det

My mistake

I have been looking and rx7s seem to come into a bit of a grey area.

It seems that if it says 1.3 on the logbook, then insuring as a 1.3 is tottally legal.

Afraid that ain't gonna cut it no more as insurance companies are all too aware of the rx7 now and treat ALL of them as group 20

 

[Jules-B]

It depends on what the insurance company classes it as.

Also it doenst matter what class it is, As long as its under 1.8!

 

[rickie]

They are all classed as 2.6 tho. Take a look here http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/

Jules - I'll have a blue Levin BZ-G (black-top) for sale soon... 1999, 6-speed, only 15,000 miles and stock apart from some alloys. It's been hiding away waiting for its opportunity to be registered...
