Mazda 323C/Familia Neo

[Snowmonkey]

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

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.



The rear spoiler with plastidip (you can see the old colour on the 4th pictures from the beginning).
