Ok, so just got myself a DSLR for my course a couple of days back & finally had some time to get a vid up on my channel.

Wow, that sounds good! Is it just the muffler that you've deleted, or the resonator too? How loud is it?

Makes me want my 323 back now so I can do that :P

Love the intro by the way.

Just the muffler for now. Don't want to annoy the neighbours. It's pretty loud when cruising at slow speeds & when pushing it hard into the next gear, but highway driving is pretty quiet.

Will probs be getting some 8" or 8.5" wide wheels soon. Hopefully today.

So... I got the new wheels. They stick out about 2.5 inches. Will need to get some bolt on flares now.

After a couple of days I decided that I didn't want to go through with this wide wheel project so I went in to Tazzy Tyres Moonah today & had them swapped over for some 17" XXR521.
Pic taken by the franchise owner "Beau".

Took a couple of shots at Eastlands shopping mall.


Took a pic in Sorell & met up with Dad.

Last shot with my Nikon D3300.

I actually would love to do that, but unfortunately I'll be giving this car to my sister next year due to her getting her learners. I think it will be a nice b'day gift. + I'm saving for an MX-5 for early next year.

10" stick :P
Anyway guys, you won't see much mods or anything really from me for a few months as lots of hours at work. Some of the stuff you see on this car will be transferred onto the MX-5 plus coilovers.


Goals:


Oh, and new vid:

Ermmm... no unfortunately. I sold them due to lack of cash. I'll either use the XXRs or get some proper Diamonds.

Can't wait to slam the BJ sometime though.

Anyway, did a new vid yesterday, which is already outdated due to the keyhole getting fixed today. & I lost my mobile in the process lol :P

So... motor had oil leaks in 3 different areas, thus the oil spray on my doors & new wheels. Got a steering wheel lock as someone stuff my drivers side lock & tried to steal my car "IN A CROWDED CARPARK". I did some eyebrows on the headlights . I'm no panel-beater so I just popped the dent in the door out slightly just to make it look somewhat reasonable.

Ok, so next up will be some usdm black-housed headlights with retrofit halos & the real amber indicators.

My bro helping out. Also, he just got himself a Kawasaki Ninja.

Oh, & did I mention I love corn-chips. :P

New badges. Too dark & cold outside tonight. Will probs get the Mazda logo back on the middle tomorrow. Would prefer it de-badged though, but due to lack of fund I don't think it'll happen, also this thing is getting pretty tired & I'm starting to think it's not worth doing anything to this car really anymore. Hopefully a new car will be coming before the end of the year. Hopefully. & hopefully another Mazda of some sort.

Yeah... the euro badge doesn't really go with the MS badge, but let's just say kinda upgrades this car a bit. :P

If I do keep the car, I'm defs getting some coils first due to the front looking way to high. Also a 2.0 2003 motor would be sick, but I'm not trying to get anyone's hopes up. Just some ideas.

Bit of an update since I was last here.
HID angel-eye headlights, new bumper, cat-back straight-piped with 3" long tip (Went back to muffler delete last week), old wheels went on and plastidipped Sublime Green

Got an 8-ball shift-knob on Sunday, a car bra earlier on Tuesday, & finally got around to finishing off the rear bumper sprayed black yesterday.

Thanks man, got it from the US about a month ago. Actually ripped it today when washing the car. The part which goes around the bonnet latch. Got caught when I closed the bonnet after cleaning it.

Anyway, little update on some things to come:
1. New lip
2. Some small rectangle yellow spot-lights.
3. Stock 4 spokes going back on tomorrow. Bored of the blue & rough ride from low pro tyres & rubbish rear springs.
4. Doing the no grille look again......

No more Mazda "rice" life for me for now. Gave it to my sister, so still in the family.

Here's my new car. 2004 Renaultsport Clio 182 Cup. So far I've added a lip & new wheels installed today. Still need to fix the lip though.

Thanks, it's quite a rare car in Tasmania. Only one I've seen in Hobart region.

Ok, I'm back onto the Mazda. Some temp mods for now until money comes my way again. New larger front lip & swapped the front mags for the old Clio ones.

Future plans:
1. Roofrack delete.
2. Badge delete
3. New grilles
4. Spotlights
5. Stainless straight-pipe with twin blast tips
6. K-Sport coilovers
7. New door
8. 1.8 or 2.0 engine
9. JDM Sport20 kit
10. Respray in Candy Apple Green
