Have U Seen This 323????
 
Well....here's how i become mazda fan ! Last year me and 15 of my friends were dring down to Las vegas for a long weekend vacation. It was September 2002. On our way about 3-4 hours away to Las Vegas coming from San Jose cali. Any ways we stopped at this gas station and we saw this car......at first i thought it was a j-spec toyota corolla hatch (kinda like the one at grand turismo game) but its not. while the owner of the car was inside paying for the gas me and my friend was checking out his car....it was white color match everything with mid spoiler, j-spec front bumpers, 16" rims and its drop about 3"-3.5", his got a different type of fog lights rite next to his head lites and i think it looks pretty sick. and yes it s got front bumper intercooler mounted on the bumper which is an eye catcher...anyhow 2 week later i sold my 92 civic hatch (14.8 sohc vtec) for $4500 and bought this car ( 91 323 basic edition) for $850 very very good deal the car is in perfect condition except for the lil scratches on the passenger side...anyways IF ANYONE HAS SEEN THIS 323 I'S LIKE TO SEE IT AGAIN PLEASE LET ME KNOW ....THX ! PEACE....

Good buy on the 323 . Im not sure whos it is but i could of sworn i saw a White 323 with a jspec bumper on it here. Its a rare car to hook up ive noticed. But looks and performs awesome when u do it right ...Welcome ..Jon

Sounds like Dru's car, but i don't think he'd sell it for just $850....

itzkcatz February-21st-2003 01:43 PM

No no he bought a Base model 323 for 850. I don't think dru has a turbo in his ?? ..Jon

This is Dru's 323. Is that what you're talking about?

The fog lights next to the headlamps came from the GTX RS-spec version. Click on my ride and you can see it on the first page. Then you can click on page 8, the bonus page to see the GTR bumper with the center grill fog lights. Lemme know what you think?

itzkcatz February-25th-2003 09:15 PM

Sweet Fog lights. I have the same grile. Where did u get the white lights i have 2 Ipf yellow fog lights in there now ..Jon 93 lx

UCSBgeek February-25th-2003 09:17 PM

I like those... I saw somebody had the IPF lights from a teal (green) pro here somewhere...

You know what I have to say about those Blue nozzles though :red: hehe ;)

Are you seriously considering an SR20DET swap??

(ps Your car is sweet :))

edit :: oh yeah Jon you have the IPF lights :)

My friend converted his 92 Ford Escort with the GTX RS-spec half-cut so the white fog lights came with it. It's a rare item cuz most have yellow IPF.

Who's blue nozzles? You mean the squitters? What about them?

SR20DET turbo swap. Just using the turbocharger.

My mechanic has also reserved a set of Mitsubishi Evolution III pistons for me FREE OF CHARGE. Once I clock 100k km on the mileage, I'm gonna port & polish, balance crank, balance flywheel, and overbore the block using the pistons.

UCSBgeek February-25th-2003 09:47 PM

There are a bunch of people who don't like those squirters on here. I'm just playing around.

OOOPS That was a misunderstanding... I kinda thought you were crazy for wanting to put the SR20DET in there... :bonk: :)

itzkcatz February-25th-2003 09:52 PM

Yes the teal pro with the yellow fogs is my car. Ive noticed the whites are hard to find. esp since im the only one with it in the states ive seen. i want the whites.....Jon

No harm done! Everything's cool. No misunderstanding here. Just wanted some clarification. That's all. All's good! Peace!! It's not the engine I'm putting but just the turbocharger.

The grille with white fogs came from a junk shop in Japan that was sold together with the GTX engine and shipped to a junk shop over here.

1ofdfew323 February-26th-2003 02:24 AM

so i have to buy the engine just to get that grill huh? well i guess i'll get that next time when i hve enough money.

1ofdfew323 February-26th-2003 02:28 AM

Thanks dude. I used the original Protege rail made by Recaro Japan which I had to order for them to make it. BTW, I'm 5'6" so don't worry: you ain't short! For my recommendation, you'd be better off using Sparco seats cuz there's a Sparco factory in the States.

itzkcatz February-26th-2003 07:49 PM

I agree the seats look sweet . But then again ur whole car looks hot. I love the boost guage on the window its huuuge...Jon

Guys please don't droole over my car! It isn't that great and the boost meter is 60mm. It ain't show car condition. Just a dirty old sleeper. Ok, I'll provide the Cleenex.

itzkcatz February-26th-2003 08:23 PM

LOL who wants a showcar?. I just like to see pics of modded familia/1st gen proteges..Jon

1ofdfew323 February-27th-2003 01:30 AM
