Need opinion on 1990 Mazda 626
I went to a local auto-x event on sunday pondered what it would take to keep my SVX off the course... Well I found a 1990 Mazda 626 4cyl auto trans and just over 200k miles and not that bad of shape apparently all for 200 bucks what do you guys think?

Although it isn't a horrible chasis, you're gonna get slaughtered in H stock with it let alone what any changes would do to ya in the modded classes. If that isn't an issue go right ahead. If it is find yourself a $400 XT6 (preferably FWD as the fulltime 4wds have the air suspension that doesn't perform the greatest in an autox). You'll be much happier, parts are fairly cheap and plentiful and best of all its the big brother to the SVX. My guess is you'll love driving it so much your SVX will spend more time at home napping.

Well to tell the truth the biggest reason I don't want to go out with the SVX is that even after the cooler install I still smell trans every time I get out....Nothing leaking nothing burning no puddles no nothing which is why thats agravating. Oh and even at trans cooler install after about 12k of my brand of abuse the fluid still looked brand new
Edit: BTW you guys are awsome I have only gotten one reply(its been up for a day now here 1 hr max) on the Mazda forum and that was has the trans been fixed as of recently kinda question post
