Hello Fellow 323 owners :)

andrewck · 26-03-2008, 07:26 PM

Hi guys my name is Andrew btw I am an old fart at 45 but doesnt mean I dont love my car. I live near Lismore in NSW 2 hrs from Brissie.

My car : Mazda 323 Astina SP20 stock as a rock apart from a set of Advanti Viennia 17" rims and no its not going to be lowered

Bloody thing now wears out tyres within 30,000 km's I seem to have a lead foot when it comes to corners

Oh I did say it has 155,000 kms on the clock and its still purring like a kitten

Moons · 26-03-2008, 07:39 PM

Heya names David, every1 calls me Moons.
U gonna do Mods on ur 323 or leave it stock. i leave my 91 stock for the moment, stock holds to dirt roads when you want it to and slides when u wanna go faster, so much fun. i may look at getting a SP20 soon, would u recoment them?

andrewck · 26-03-2008, 07:49 PM

Unless you want more horsepower yeah I totally recommend an SP20 if you have 40K to spend get a VW Golf GTI or a Mazda MPS 3. The SP20 is one damn fun car to drive hard and just loves corners

Moons · 26-03-2008, 07:52 PM

i need a good rigid car, i wanna slowly turn it into a street legal drift owning machine. but SP20 sounds good

Buzz_LightYear · 26-03-2008, 07:53 PM

ooo viennia's...i was looking at them for mine do they look nice....welcome to AGT.

bourbon · 26-03-2008, 07:54 PM

well no astina is gonna be a drift owning machine...

Moons · 26-03-2008, 07:55 PM

i still like my 91 tho, great shape, but i'd have to get rid of it to get the SP20

Moons · 26-03-2008, 07:59 PM

u'd b suprized, 60% front weight distrib in a FF is great, u just gotta keep a constant speed and the dirt roads help, u can't really rely on power to slide it.

BTW the car is sitting on sloppy ground if it was on level ground they look a damn sight better
