Im now using my 3rd Mazda & my previous Interplay & the current ride is maintained by him, The current ride has been maintained throughout by him
Im honestly not trying to advertise here
It's just that I've seen & come across various guys experimenting on Mazda's and the end result is the owner bitching about how bad the CAR is – which is a crime
I always say Ea Ea Banis walata Ea Ea Kesel ( Hope It came out right )
Feel free to drop me a mail – [email protected] if you need any help
With the figures given by the Vios & EG 8s - I have no complain with a Mazda 323 – There is this foolish myth that Mazda’s don’t do well…..
I drive a 1.6 - heavy traffic both ways and 1 passenger – I’m not a clam driver hence constantly raving over 2 specially when overtaking busses.
She does abt 8.5 to 9 in Colombo & abt 13+ outstations – ( ALways with AC - dont belive in going with out it in this LAND LIKE NO OTHER )
I personally feel that’s a good figure - Wat say you guys ???
I was just about to say the same thing - But I would ahve thought some one who can afford those would have TAD BIT OF BRAIN & RESPECT - LOOKS LIKE i WAS MISTAKEN -
I strongly recommend u have a check up with Mazna motors- if you have not done already as Dominic said – It could well be the mount – if so then u may not need to do a high end injection cleaning
I got the same thing – Manual though
Idle should be the culprit – PCV vale us the thing connecting to the engine bay from the back – just do a google on Mazda PCV vale cleaning – U’ll get heaps of info
I have the 2000 model of the 323 – same thing
Well due to the heat the fibre tens to give away in a short period. Even the recon ones/originals are of plastic which eventually give away due to the heat we have in SL.
I replaced my radiator (Previous car – Mazda Interplay) with a metal /copper tank – my current ride has a copper tank – that would be the best option as you can always fix it
Option 3 would best the best – Radiator house would be a good option
Basically have the whole thing in one metal so that there are no hick ups – the cost seems about right – D*MO also do radiators and a friend replaced the radiator of a Trad for about 13K
Hope this help- feel free to drop me a mail if you need assistance
@ AJWAD
I use a 323 – Recommend that you don’t go for a cone type – As Guru said the crap we have in our air & road tend to damage the sensors as the cone is open to the elements. The air flow sensor of 323 are very sensitive & EXPENSIVE - best for a drop in type filter to the exiting box . this would help to a certain extent but u won’t feel a massive difference – I’ve not done it but have been having the idea – drop me a mail and I’ll send you some more thing u can do – [email protected]
@ the rest – Charith19, Pradfred , Guru
Hay I’m still alive guys – ya need to do the BBQ – my outdoor adventure licence is going to be halted soon (Temporarily)
Ahhhh – finally got my spoiler & the 2 bumpers fixed & painted – don’t know how long they will last B 4 some goof comes & knocks it again
Yes ! Welcome to the club,
drop the mail to the given address and we shall do the needful. As Pradfred said – not a formal entity but looking meeting up with other Mazda & Ford owners to share info and just have a good time – Once we get the chance
No arguments there mate ahhhhhhhhhh
Well it’s your decision as Ace said but just to give you some options to help out

Red – The hot red
Electric blue
Pearl white may be ?????
Agree with both the members – the condition of the car plays a big role- I generally would not hesitate to pay a bit more if the car has :
Few owners – basically its’ not been used as a prostitute
Have all maintenance records - been looked after
Overall condition is good –
However the 2000 Ford for 1.6 can be acceptable if it’s been looked after and if it’s a 1.5 manual version - IMO
I could say the same as Ripper – Great work Green had a look at your site – neat stuff
Unfortunately Ur in USA – cause if u were in SL – I would be at your door step rihgt now to get a set of the gauges u’ve done
It could most case be the razor- I too had the same issue and it was the razor.
I had to replace the razor in mine and since the compressor is not a unit that can be services- I had to replace the compressor – which meant the replacing of gas and I changed the filter at the same time.
The AC dude said I should go for a Piston type compressor rather than the standard compressor but the drawback is that you lose power- hence don’t replace with any piston type- a recon compressor would be around 6-8000/-
Drop me mail if you want some clarifications etc [email protected]
Good luck
Ahh yes do agree – I was meaning the lowering to the scare our friend in the US has done – I guess where u work/live & the route u take plays a important part- some roads are so bad that 4x4 find it difficult not to mention the 5 min rain & the whole bloody roads are flooded - I would love to have a low car but rather stick with the current setup – My rear is up in the air (The car’s i mean )
Ya saw your ride @ da AL G2G - really nice man - keep it up - testimant to say our SL boys got what it takes too
