i aint talking **** or anything like that just being honest. I have not seen a nice lookin' 323/protege out there except for dru's323 and that light blu protege posted up there. im not into full carshow body kit going crazy! anyways i've had my car since October of 2002 and it took me a 2 months to fix it up. i only spend $1800 15" rims new kuhmos, sprint 2" drop (cut 1 coil 3" drop), tsudo (hks angle wannabe) muffler, gt steering wheel, alpine 6 disc cd changer, alpine cd deck, pioneer speakers, clifford remote arrow 3 model, fog lamps, front lip, mid rear spoiler, this car was just the basic 323 now i have installed the SE parts into it. the disc i already have but dont have time to install it, the bp engine is coming on the long weekend which is 2/15/03 next week end to be exact.
as of the picture i will post it up soon......

I heard about cutting your springs... its supposed to increase your low-end torque or something!

Have you heard about the way to get more horspower? You take a cup full of sand, and pour it into the engine through the oil filler hole. Its a miracle... you get so much powa! Its mAd quick yO!

On a side note, I live in Newfoundland. We were the first place in North America to hold the All-Tarmac Targa. You may have seen it broadcast on SpeedVision. This was an endurance race and as the roads here are so incredibly bad, this place was a shoo-in. I ran around all day 2" lower my friend in his Accord w/airbags would go around 4.5" drop often times. Funny as hell to hear him scrape the **** out of a poly kit. But he didn't care, lots of money on his end Just thought it was an interesting side note to people saying 'oh man, Cali has the worse roads' lol. You don't know a bad road until you hit a Newfoundland road.

Oh and as for me. I could care less. Hell I went 250 meters offroad to get the shot in my sig. The bottom was scraping on lumpy ground and I could smell a grass smell in the Climate System for days. lol

I'm sure you guys have bad roads up there. I've heard that PA roads are the worst in the US, it wouldn't surprise me, they are terrible.

Hey... what kind of tires were you planning on getting with the 13"s....? 185 or 175?

According to the dude at the tire store they don't have too many performance tires for the stock DX steelie size... I'll check out tirerack...

lol. Yeah. I didn't care too much. I felt that they were far enough away that you can't pick out imperfections in those.
