Hi I'm Da2el from "bad-roaded" Portugal

Some people say I don't like the F but to that people I say you're the ones who don't like it because you're the ones who modify it

I think MAZDA had made a great job on the 90's and I want to keep it original

I've been warned about my opinions but I think comments are always positive to bring new ideas so be also free to criticise my own car

The only thing I want to do on it is to put some wheels that fit on the exterior lines put it lower a bit and a cd player on the interior

Sorry any mistakes on my english...and sorry if I've hurt somebody...most of all peace

Lower it by 40mm springs and get some 16's wheels on their, that will not over do it and you will still keep in line with the car, it will be lowered and look nice also. There is a cd player for sale in the for sale section. It is quite cheap aswell. I think username DuffMan is selling it.

Welcome to the club mate...

Looks like a nice and clean motor. I'm sure the modding bug will catch up with you soon enough :thumbleft:

Welcome to the club.

your in the right place, everybody here loves the F its just that so many people have different views and opinions on pretty much everything to do with the 323f!!

i agree with you that the F looks fantastic the way it is, but for me there are certian little things i dont like and my aim is to just change them so i do like them :D

your car looks great - very well looked after! how long have you had it?

I beg to differ, I reckon Mazda did a stunning job with the BA, a stunning job for many people. I moddyfied mine to make it even better - for me :D

Hey - opinions are great, if we all had the same view then your wouldnt look so tidy huh...........?

Welcome fella (please dont look at mine :laughing6: )

Welcome to the Club Da2el :thumbleft:

I respect your opinion, and sometimes wish others would actually say what they think too - in a pleasant way of course.
There's no point in posting photos of your car if you cannot accept critisism.

I too like to keep to the original lines of the 323f, and have tried to keep my modifications subtle - although I'm sure you would find my car a little over modified too.
I could never imagine driving a standard car.

I will now offer you some suggestions for your car.

Fit 15" or 16" alloy wheels.
Fit 35mm lowered springs.
Keep the rest of the car standard, but incredably clean.
Here is an example of what I mean by clean - for you to consider:

Really, funny you should say that, its preciesly what I've done :thumbright:

By the way, if you DO lower it, some extra bracing and suspension upgrading would be a good plan :D:D

Welcome to the club :D

love the colour - dont see too many of those around, especially a well looked after one like yours.

i agree with you, the car needs a little bit of lowering and some nice wheels just to get that sleeker look.

welcome to the club by the way :D

The aerial, is the bit that rises out of the passenger rear wing on your car, so you can recieve radio reception :D:D

In Portugese its called - antena :thumbright:
