New member from Vancouver 323 klze oh yeah but a few questions?
 
Im new to the forum and ive been looking for years for a build that would be somewhat practical and still kick some ass. The 323 klze's gotta be it. Ive been reserching on and off for over a year now and the result has some conflicting information and sketchy picks of poorly welded engine mounts. Ive got a few questions that have sprung to mind and just wanted to clarify if my assumtions are correct im sure some of them are wrong. Ill start with the questions... Some say that the swap into an early 90s 323 is a bolt on with only upgrade to mazda speed motor mounts and trasmission mount crossmember required structurally. Others say that you can only use one of the existing motor mounts with custom fab of the other mount required (re:sketchy welding on custom motor mounts) I have a backround in fabrication so this would be no problem. Some have expressed concarns regarding suspension and brake coponents ...I used to have a 89 sho plenty of jam crap brakes and suspension. Are bolt on upgrades for the 323 sufficient. There is a lot of talk of using mx3 suspension and brake components so my biggest question is can you swap the subframe from an mx3 to a 323?... resolving many under hood issues and upgrading structurally.
