I find the response is better than with injection too, at least stock injection. I've spent more time driving carb'd cars than injected ones though, so for all I know the newer ones are getting better.
Wish I could afford the Weber carb setup for the 351W I wanna build. That would be sweetness having quad Webers sittin up there like a sno-cone.

First generation 323i had already 6 cylinders! Go check it out or just ask Matt. He's someone who knows BMW's very well.

That's it! Sorry for being too fast. You see, I'm still 26 so I'm a bit on the fast type....Originally Posted by henk4
Yes, I meant BMW. Why would I bother talking of Mazdas 323 in a forum of a page called UltimateCarPage, anyway?
Tha only Mazda I care about is the MX-5 and I'm about to own one.

You will be surprised about the popularity of the 323F in Holland with the ricer community. It seems to be one of the coolest cars around.Originally Posted by McReis

If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

it is even more magical that it can reach 4000 in the first placeOriginally Posted by Wouter Melissen

I never said there wernt advantages either way if you read further on in my posts....I was just curious why JCP didnt want to add injection and he gave a very good reason.Originally Posted by McReis
I used to have a mate at school who owned a mini and he litrally handedits ass too it.....it was really luckytomake it past4000 rpm.....i rember a fullyloaded car me the driver and 3 other guys in the back (im shure they where all breating in and out at the same time lol) and with the severly/poorly maintian engine it was struggling to make it upsome of the most minor inclines eventully he blew a hole in the engine (seperating the fuel pump from the block) and manged to get withing a block from his house....by that time the engine truly expired and is unlikly to ever turn again (poor little mini) and suprisingly he wants to get another one....i fear for my life (he was mad as a cut snake in case you havent figured it out already)
