323F BA - Barreljans track turbo'd V6

[barreljan]

Hi there, thought I should introduce myself here complete with all the info.

About me, from the Netherlands, age is in the profile. Love trackdays and very happy with Mazda of course Being tinkering with them for 11 or so years. Maybe you have seen the car already on the facebook pages or the club323f.com forum.


Quick history of my cars, had 1.5 323F BA, sadly I shortend it on one side.
Two weeks later a new 1.5, also 11R sparkling green. Modified and installed lots of small items and even disc brakes on the rear.




Then in dec. 2007 I bought (could not resist) a mint 11R 323F BA with a V6 from the first owner. Properly maintained. Did some work on it, headers and stuff and got it to 163bhp instead of 147 (dyno proven)






In 2008 decided that I was done with the low power and bought a KLZE. Same setup, on the original KF ecu and it was pusing out 215bhp and 250nm of torque (dyno proven).




Lowered it at first with springs, later a complete coilover kit






Later, some minor alterations on the outside, badboy bonnet and MS front spoiler




Some sticky R888's to go with it




A few months later, more stopping power, 330mm 8pot




And of course some weight reduction, Fidanza flywheel and OBX underdrive pulley






Sometime later on, seat, safety stuff and more. This was in april 2012








After 2 years having them on the loft, putted the sideskirts on




Some more weight reduction efferts. Made my own lexan rear windows






In 2014 did work on the gearbox (no, it did not break, was having issues on tight corners). So I threw the MFactory LSD diff . Works superb!




Drove it for 5 and a half years straight on the tracks in the Dutch Time Attack series without any problems. The car itself evolved big time in all those years, with not even a single breakdown or issue, attended all rounds of every season 5 years long! Engine work working great, no oil usage of blue smoke. Replaced the oil and filter at least 4 times a year with Castrol Edge 5W30.
