1988 323 GTX, Corksport Mods
Here is the list of the mods. done to the car. Every mod on this car was performed by Corksport of Oregon, the GTX racing specialists. I can produce receipts for all parts and work done. Over $15,000 has been spent on the restoration of this rare car. I am the second owner of the GTX and have a Carfax sheet for it. The car has never been to a track or raced.
Suspension: Competition rear Trailing Links (60% stiffer) Competition Rear Lateral Links (60% stiffer) Competition Rear Differential Mount kit (60% stiffer) Competition front A-arm bushings and sway bar mounts (60% stiffer) MazdaSpeed upper Strut tower mounts 555 racing ball joints 4 KYB Euro spec struts, stiffer rebound and compression Addco, custom road race sway bar kits for front and rear Brand new Bridgestone S03 pole position DOT approved race tire Cusco adjustable front and rear strut tower braces Limited Slip Differential (LSD) rear end filled with Red Line racing oil DOT 4 synthetic brake fluid
Brakes: Stainless brake lines all around Corksport “Big Brake upgrade” on front with Kevlar pads front and rear.
Engine: 25000 miles have been put on the car since the car was restored MazdaSpeed 1.6 motor mounts GTX Hidden Turbo timer F-con Rally fuel management control system PRofec-B boost controller 460cc injectors Ported and polished head (have pictures showing the porting!) Weisco forged lightened pistons Upgraded intercooler HKS BOV 3 core custom upgraded radiator Corsport VJ-14 turbo upgrade* (see below for details) Corksport custom free flowing downpipe (it’s the prototype) HKS cold air intake system 2.5 inch exhaust all the from downpipe to the muffler with a hidden turn down exhaust (for a stealth look) Custom vacuum hoses rerouted Modified Mass Air Flow Meter Custom switching for the cooling fans Mobil 1 10w-30 synthetic oils ran immediately after break-in Corksport GTX high rise turbo cams* (see below)
Interior: All lights work Custom installed boost and Rich/ Lean gauges are installed Hidden turbo timer located in change drawer Interior is very good, no rips in the seats and the cargo mat is perfect
Transmission and Transfer Carrier: Transmission was rebuilt using racing dogs and shift forks; all the syncs were replaced Transfer carrier was disassembled and inspected for wear, none was found. Both were refilled with Red Line racing Fluids Centerforce Dual Friction clutch (90% more gripping power) Corksport 10 pound aluminum flywheel
The Run Down: The chassis has 159k on it. Every light works even the ones in the exterior keyhole. The Sunroof opens smooth and fast. Derrick at Corksport set the car up to run 15psi of boost which he guesses makes about 260hp. He also stated with the right computer settings the injectors are good up to 20psi which would make in the neighborhood of 300hp. I have never tried that mod. It’s tough to shift through the first two gears fast enough before you hit the rev limiter at 15psi. This cars power train and suspension has been restored from top to bottom. If it showed wear, it was replaced at Corksport. Most all of the after market parts came from Corksport, check their website for prices and specs of the installed equipment. www.corksport.com
Spare parts: There are two sets of spare wheels and tires. One set of original 14” wheels with wore out tires One set of 15” RX-7 seven wheels with great winter tires mounted on them (Corksport put the package together) The wheels and tires on the car now are 15” Stock Acura Legend wheels with new S-03 pole position tires. The wheels look surprisingly good on the GTX.
I have other misc. spare parts. This is what I can think of off the top of my head: New spare rear break caliper Used distributor Stock intercooler Some old stock suspension pieces Stock rear end
Asking price $6,000 OBO
