XXR seem to suffer with quality issues, they don't look good for very long

Well... to commemorate the 240.000Km (~150.000Miles) in my mazda's ODO, I have done a friendly comparative with a friend of mine on highway :P
I don't remember when I have done that on last time, so, he was a little bit slow on high rpm, especially on 4th and 5th gear.

The comparative was done with a Mitsubishi Carisma 1.6 100hp.

Mitsubishi Carisma specs:
1.6cc
100hp
1085kg of weight
Less than 100K km (60K miles)
14 inch wheels
FULL STOCK.

My Mazda specs:
1.5cc
88hp
1115kg of weight
240K km (~ 150K miles)
16 inch wheels
BMC CDA + 50mm diameter exhaust + Magnecor wires + Iridium plugs

And... I never thought the Mitsubishi was so fast!

The Mitsubishi made 220kmh (~137mph) and my Mazda made 210kmh (~130mph).

Here are the vid...

And it's all... for now...

Thanks Fuse!

My Fogs have yellow film for headlights and I've bought that film on Ebay.com

I want to remove the yellow film and buy a new yellow tint for that effect. A friend of mine made that on his Polo 6N and looks very nice!

The amount of light is the same, so, don't have problem with that

Well, some news...

On the last Saturday, I've made a touge with a friend of mine. He drive a 200sx with 3**hp and, I needed brake many times because the 200SX doesn't so good on grip as my 323F

Unfortunately, I didn't filmed the touge

Monday, before I've come to my work (NATO), I leave my F in LA Performance (workshop of an friend of mine) and changed the two Ball Joints, one Steering Rack Bellow and one Track / Tie Rod End.

Yesterday, I've gone to Setubal to align the direction.
I've chose the values of the parameters and I love my new alignment of direction!

Front Camber = -2º10'
Rear Camber = -1º55'
Front TOE = 0º20'
Rear TOE = 0º10'
Caster = 2º31'... This parameter allows no change

My BC Racing coilovers...

Front:
Droped on minimum height
Hardness on 20th Level (1st Level = Soft and 30th Level = Hard)

Rear:
Droped a litler bellow the midle
Hardness on 12th Level (1st Level = Soft and 30th Level = Hard)

... and the car is so awesome in mountain roads

I'll make a vídeo with my 323F and some friends in touge, soon and will post here

A new pic on home

Cheers
