My first Mazda Lantis 323

My first Mazda lantis 323 GLX is sedan type. It registerd at year 1994 and i get this car from my grandfather when he change his car to Toyota Vios. Since i am his grandson, he give me a very low price ;)
The car come with a very good condition in interior, the only problem is the car was not go through proper maintenance. The car lost a lot power and the pick up was like turtle.
After get it, major service was done to it. Timing belt, water pump, engine oil, belts, front n rear
absorber were change due to wear n tear. Also sent the car for tinted due to horrible hot weather at Melaka, Malaysia.















Modification Begin.....
After all services is done. It time to start modify the car to get all the potential and performance out the car. First thing to start with is the intake. For the air filter i opt for KNN open pod. The size of the air filter is 3" and it is a universal type.


Since the car is almost 10 years old. It is good to have the car proper grounded since most of the stock grounding cables are already oxidized. For this purpose i get Pivot Raizen voltage stabilizer that come with 5 grounding point.
This is how my engine bay look like after the KNN air filter n ground cable installed.


For a better handling, i also installed the zenden struct bar ;)

After the intake, then is time for the exhaust already. For this mod, i had remove all the stock exhaust system. The piping is increase to 2" and using stanless steel from front till end. At front, a custom built 4-2-1 extractor is use. At middle, FGK performance bullet is place and for the end i opt for a S-flow muffler for some low-mid end power and quiet ride.


For the ignition system, only the spark plug cable is change and it yellow in colour. This give some colorful in the engine bay. As for the spark plug, a set of bosch super plus (Yttrium) spark plug are sit in the engine.




For the fueling system, an adjustatble fuel regulator from taiwan is replace the stock one. Thanks to my friend, i was able to get this with a stuff price ;)

Some gadgets in the car. The pioneer player and 2 meters, vacuum and volt :) make u feel like sport car...hahahaha


That all about my first car ;) coming soon will be my 2nd Mazda Lantis 323F.
