Morgan and Katie's SP20
 

2002 Mazda 323 Astina SP20

Purchased on the 25th June 2011 off private seller in Newcastle, NSW.

Silver, manual, 158,***kms, well looked after.

Previous owner had it for 7 years. Owner before that bought it brand new but he died shortly after. Spent most of the first 2 years of it's life under a sheet in a garage.

Anyway, will keep track of anything I do to her in here.

Some new pictures to kick us off :)

Being a 9 year old car, there are a few imperfections around the exterior. Main one is some corroded paint where bat poop was left for too long

Other is on the RHS rear quarter panel. Reversed into a trailer.

Apart from the towbar I like it.

*Parking sensor :p

haha looks nice, obviously you've chosen the best colour :)

What are your plans for it?

Nothing too intense.

-Clear side indicators should arrive next week
-I have chrome T10 globes to go with them to give the whole side a crisp look
-Will take the chrome rear indicator globes out the Outback I'm selling and put them on the SP20 and buy some new ones for the front. Hate orange!
-Silver or black calipers
-Personal plates
-20% window tinting

That's about it for the moment...

Pretty good list, just add 'slightly lower' to that and you're done.

...maybe :)

Where are you getting the side indicators from?

Nice car, i have a SP20 myself! They have a fair bit of grunt for a little car! Good luck with the mods!

Just ebay, Ben.

They are the same ones as the Bravo

that is a damn good reason to have a tow bar

Yea I can't see us towing much with this car! Last owners seemed too though.

Installed clear side indicators

Used chrome globes that flash orange so it doesn't give that fried egg look

Very nice! Mine are in the mail! Do they just clip on? or.... Never removed side indicators before.

I've changed indicators on 5 cars now and both SP20s were the only ones that needed a cut and solder! Took about half an hr but it's all good

The ones I bought were identical to the stock ones I just twisted the bulb out and twisted it into the clear ones.

You got a link to the ones you bought? I've tried two diff sellers and both were the same...

Couldn't find them sorry :( Like you it was one of my first mods :p a few years back now...

Mine just twisted in too! I bought these ones ages ago when i first got my car:
