Hi !

As I said in my presentation, I'm from France and I have a 323c/Familia Neo since March 2012.
The engine is an 1.5 L DOHC (Z5-DE), 88HP. Not really a racing car, but very pleasant to drive it.

Some pics of the cars :

I'm not a mechanician (I'm a graphic designer),but I begin to learn to do it for my car. Then, my "program" for my car is:

Engine
Direct air intake + remove the resonator : Done in August 2012(pictures are below)
K&N Air Filter : Installed in September 2012

Handling / Braking
Front strut brace : "Astina hatch v6" strut brace don't fit on my C.. Missing holes for attaching the bar :/ I hope to buy a Mazdaspeed strut brace next year.
Rear strut bar : Maybe March 2013
Shock absorbers & lowered springs : 2013
Brake disc (front) : Brembo Max, ordered and waiting to be deliver
Brake pads : EBC YellowStuff, received and I waiting to receive the new brake disc now.
Stainless steel braided hose (aviation type hose) : soon..
Brake Fluid : RBF600, soon..

Wheels/Tires
15" white rims : Done, January 2013 ! -> Speedline Corse Marmora
Tires : Toyo T1R, in 195/50.

Exterior
Front Mazda badge/logo : Buy an used one, but proper
Rear spoiler : Painted with PlastiDip (pictures are below)
Stickers : Geeky stickers, TeamJap.com stickers ( association of japanese cars owners in south of France), and more soon :D

Interior
Mirror : Broadway Wide-View Rear View Mirror, February

Other
Clean my engine bay : when I have the time to do this :)
Maybe lose weight, to go under 1000Kgs

My first mod :
Remove the resonator to have a direct air induction

I cut the anti fog hide, for the direct air, and paint with plastidip.

Sorry for the bad quality of the pics, from my phone. I need to buy new battery for my camera to make better pics.

The rims fits perfectly on her :D
It lacks the brakes, the discs arrives in the week !
