New 323 GTX owner! (and a few questions)
Howdy!
New owner of a one-owner '88 323 GTX. 90K miles. I work for a Mazda dealership in Nashville, Tennessee. I also currently have two Miatae.
First order of business is replacement of those pesky wheel bearings. While I have it all apart, thought I might take the opportunity to do brakes and shocks as well.
Any recommendations from current owners regarding brake pads and shocks? Does Mazda Competition (now Mazdaspeed Motorsports) offer any shock/ brake packages
like they do on the Miata?
The 323 GTX will be a secondary daily driver that will also see light auto-x duty on the weekends.
Thanks in advance for the help!
