Say Hello To My Little Friend!

D-Train · 11-05-2008, 10:28 AM

Hey Guys and Gals! I just joined this site after being told at OzMazdaclub it may be a little more specific to some of the questions i've been asking over there. So anyway, Hi my name is Dean i own an '03 323 astina SP20 BJII- J48 in beautiful Starry Blue. I've had the car for two years now and have loved every second of driving it. Previous to owning the SP20 i had an 86 323 hatch and always dreamed of having an SP20, now that i've got one its time to start making it my own individual piece of art. So far its stock performance wise but that is going to change as for visually i've basically only just started with clear side markers, chrome tail lights and a axle back revision of the muffler 2.25" smaller resonator with 3" 45 degree down dump pipe which i've been told sounds like a subaru

but i think it sounds better

Hey again. Yeah i got some stuff planned, a little hard to do when money's tight but atm i got a short shifter and stubby antenna coming and been waiting for it since march 1st

I wanna keep it N/A but still extract as much power out of it as i possibly can. Currently my car on the dyno put out a huge

70.6kw when they're rated 98kw at the flywheel. So Air intake is a must but the one i want is difficult to find in oz ( K&N Typhoon 69 3 piece SR, CAI & CCAI). Looking for an under-pulley as well to lighten things up a bit. Headers are one thing i haven't looked into much but would consider getting a set at a decent price and quality. I was reading a thread the other day bout micro-tech computers which was interesting but yet another thing i need to do a little research on. A 1.5 way LSD would be great to have but money an issue there also atm. Any other ideas you got to help in the pursuit for zoom zoom happiness would be much appreciated though.
