98 Mazda 323 Astina BA Hardtop | |
Picked her up three years ago.
First thing to go was the airbox, replaced with K&N pod. Second was the exhaust, Lukey turbo exhaust is there now. Loud yeah pretty much loud, put dynamat (soundproofing) all through the doors and boot and you know what, yep still loud.... But nice from the outside so all good. It's gone, replaced the Lukey with a Remus, so much nicer and feels like a little more power as well. Only a very slight drone, but if that was not there you would not know you were driving so all good. Third was some Xenon Blue Halogen lamps, was really excited about them, after one day left one blew. Exchanged for a new pair, then right one blew. Thought it might be my car, bought another brand and they are great, well would be but one is pointing at the left wheel and the other at the tree tops. But hey how hard can they be to adjust, well damn hard if you ask me, makes me feel stupid, have tried like eight times. I am pretty sure the adjustment screw is threaded, keep turning the bugger but nothing happens but then again that could be the idle screw. Fourth was the audio, sick of stackers so went with a nice pioneer mp3 player with four Kenwood 6x9's two in front doors (yes nice squeeze) and two in the parcel shelf. I cannot hear the music due to the damn exhaust but I can feel it on my leg. Nice. Okay summary. Engine> Have built a Megasquirt but yet to put in... K&N pod, Bosch Super 4 spark plugs, Super White halogen lights (was not kidding about them pointing everywhere but the road). ROH 15" rims Falken 195/55 R15 ((44psi) decent road noise and aquaplaning but otherwise grip like a mongrel) ICE> Pioneer DEH-P5650MP head-deck, cheap and does the job. front doors have two Kenwood 6x9's parcel shelf has two Kenwood 6x9's Wants> K&N flat panel with larger air box than standard with cold air feed, pod is okay but still gets too much air from engine bay even with pipe feed. Mazdaspeed car seat covers 17" rims Tein suspension with lowering Body kit, not sure which one yet. Respray after bodykit, deep ox tongue red Turbo would be nice but engine is getting a bit old for that, over 200,000. |
