i love my protegay

this car can handle. thats all i have to say.

whipping around the highways at 160 km/h. ( did it at 3 am, no other cars around )

The car just sticks to the ground, even on turns.

the car didn't want to go past 190 km/h.

273,000 km on this SOHC engine.

i love my protegay.

I had my 323 going 115mph before, but I'm not sure how inaccurate the speedo was at those speeds.

I will have to test my max speed with my dad's gps... so far I cannot go any faster than 160-165kmh on the speedo with my 323 with 270k km..

With my automatic one one time I manage to go to 170kmh...

i hear everyone saying that these cars can handle. my car is not the case, there is some major body roll when turning, you have to lean into them, hah. im guessing things like a strut bar would help?

Well, the problem with the 323 hatch it that it has obscenley narrow tires. I had some 14x6s on there, and it made a WORLD of difference.

Now I have 17x7" wheels, eibach springs, and tokico struts (and a fstb), it's handles great (albeit harsh)...
