Vibration
The tyres may need balanced. Do the wheels have any small weights on them?
Nice mods so far though, its coming along nicely. :thumbleft:

yes they have...many small weights (in one of the wheels could be 10)
the wheels need to be fixed or is a tyre problem?

If the fitment of the wheels was correct for the car (PCD: 4x100, et35-42, CB 54.4), then the vibration will probably be balancing, alignment etc. Also, like you say, watch the tyre pressues.

If the profile of the tyres is lower than on your previous wheels then the harshness of the ride is to be expected :thumbright:

Otherwise, get some pics up of the 4x4 ;) Good work :thumbright:

Dude.....ive decided you're a legend!

You have a really nice example of a clean BA...and your just adding the odd little bit here and there to personalise and improve.

Plus....do we really need to remind you how much you were against modding the cars at first......;)

You're well and truly a welcome part of the club now fella :thumbright:

modding yes but letting always the allready nice style of the 323F

at the exterior just lefts for me a little lowering and maybe a laguna lip because ZXi lip in portugal is not easy to find and no more kits
I possible would have crystal side repeaters If there was crystal rear repeaters too

more pictures to come when the wheels are back

You could order the ZXi lip from mazda. I asked the mazda dealer near mine and they said splitters are £145 (203.355 EUR) and are part# BC5S519K0 and are unpainted. Perhaps you could order one from there or ask someone in UK to order it for you then post on.

If you're that interested.

I'll think on that because is not for now

funny I don't remember it was snowing when I take the pictures :lol:

well the next thing is to fix one of the wheels (as I've said on the BA wheels section) and also fix the left transmission "fole" (is that rubber thing behind the disc brake)

in the future a little lowering and I was also thinking in that AA thing (is there a mazda/mazdaspeed brand one?)

much sand jump and makes noise when using wider tyres

at this moment I've got my car as I wanted it and nothing waiting for attention

Image

now where can I start to invent? I've got some ideas for a to do list:
- front struct bar (that one on the engine)
- new suspension a little lowered
- clear fogs
- licence plate support
- cd player or cd box
- hood paint
- ...
