My Mazda 323F

[mazdajason]

Evening all, My name is Jason and im a long time reader but this is one of my first posts!
I drive a 1998 Mazda 323f, its only a 1.5 so is all show and not much go!
Ive had it for about 2 years now and it has seen quite a few mods in that time. Theres not many performance mods available for these cars so most are from the 1.8 and 2.0 versions of the 323f, i.e leather seats, splitters, strut braces to name a few.
im from NZ so love my rotarys and V8s but cant afford one of them over here so ive settled for my mazda for now. Now for the photos, not the most recent but not too old either









got tonnes more photos but dont want to bore you all
Look forward to some comments!

That inlet fannymould looks a tad strange. Is it a custom piece?

I owned one of these many many moons ago and am ashamed to say i hardly even looked under the bonnet, it could be standard

I owned a P reg 1.5 323 many moons ago. Excellent little car, never let me down, delivered +40mpg without much effort on my part and was so much better looking than comparable models by other manufacturers.

Although I never worked out why Mazda specced the 323 to all have a functioning air conditioning button, even when the car didn't have air conditioning fitted?!

yea its a custom piece on the induction kit, unless you get a K and N you have to make a custom induction kit up!

yup, all of them came with the a/c button, the 323 was a strange car because there is a crossover with ford at some time and some cars come with ford parts. they are classed as pre and post ford and that makes them super annoying sometimes! for example my car is post ford and has all the piping for a/c but not the 2nd fan! the type r had climate control even which i think was pretty new in the eraly to mid 90's
