Hello Guys,

Since I know that I can fell free to write in english here, I want to present you my Mazda 323-C.
My name is Toni and I'm 23 years old. I've bought this 323-C as daily car for the cold winter, so that I haven't use my good Opel Calibra (and that's why how i got my nickname).

Here a picture from 2007 when I bought this car:



But then I have done a lot of on this vehicle. Now I'm driving the Mazda the whole year and the Calibra only gets out on a sunny sunday First I've build some selfmade frontbumper, selfmade sideskirts and selfmade rearbumper. A new selfmade paintshop in black-matt and some other modifications you can see on the picture:



But then I had a crash selfimposed, so that I had to repair it. My selfmade frontbumper wasn't repairable, so that I have to build me a new one. In Addition to some more Modifications it looked like this after the repair:






Ex factory the Mazda has the little 1.5 16V Z5 engine. I upgradet it to the 1.9 16V BP engine with 114hp. I build a selfmade driveshaft-bracket so that I still can use the 1.5 gearbox with shorter transmission.





Then the 114hp wasn't enough so that I decided to tune the engine. I gots forged oversize pistions (84mm) with 11:1 compr. ratio, modified Dbilas 176°/280° race-camshafts, the 1.4 gearbox (more shorter transmission) and some other modifications. Now the engine have 160hp.
Here some videos about the acceleration:

Then it was getting Winter and I don't want to drive my good new selfmade frontbumper in deep snow. So I've build a low-budget winter-front-bumper.



But then I crashed it at over 200 Km/h (non selfimposed) on the highway.



And now I'am going to rebuild the whole car. Here are some pictures where you can look what happened in the last months. Actually the car is at the paintshop for the new color.

hey guys

here some new pictures from the paintshop. the car is already prime-fillered

I can't say "like it". I must say LOVE IT or be silence

Some time ago i saw it on mazda-winterhaufe and YT The best 323C mod ever! Keep up the good work. The only thing that i would change in this project – wheels, maybe german style?

customized postert rear wing. fitting is WORSE. The dark sorrouding

It's shaping up nicely, keep up the good work

Wow
I love it in black, then.. I Love too in white
I'm sure on the street, people thinks it's a new car

still not finished, but the end is near ))

Rear end looks really great I'm not sure though about front bad look on the headlights.

Its the same front bad look on the headlights like before the crash, at least I've tried to build a 99,9% replica of it.

I know but I think it would look better without it What kind of suspension have you got ?

Suspension is the same as before: 65mm/40mm K.A.W. lowering springs on original damper.
I like the front bad look

Oh the same kit as mine, I knew car looked familiar

Hehe yeah. I like it because its more lower at the front than at the rear. Looks god in my opinion.

winter front bumper is mounted. winter-wheels follows in the next days

Very very nice
I like the the rear spoiler with the 3rd Stop light

much better than black matt, imo
looks like

copy paste: duplex exaust, and wheels, front custom bumper replace original 323c +323f mazdaspeed kit
i think, will be great, I had a dream about it
