Are you saying that the B6T motors didn't have short nose crank failures? I hope I read that correctly because I know for a fact that the turbo GTX and GT's sure did. Thats one of the stupid reasons I had for selling my 323GTX  On top of the weak trannies and never ending rust

No, I misstyped what I meant to say. Mazda should have corrected the problem that would have been more pronounced in a boosted engine.
