Freekenstein is here!!

[Freekenstein]

Hello everyone.

I am Freekenstein and I come from the Netherlands. Since the beginning of december i drive a 2001 Mazda 323F DiTD Exclusive.

This is what the car looked like when I bought it

Stock, boring, but with a lot of potential

I put the 17" rims I still have under, just to see how it looks

But it's a bit of an off-roader in this set-up, so that was one of the first things I had to change.
A German company called KW supplied a Variant 2 suspenion-kit, result:

Mazda low-rider :P

I tend to get lost so I needed a navigation-system

It doesn't look much, but when you turn it on...

At the 323F club-meeting in Veenendaal I had my 17's under again

It rubs a bit, but I'll have that fixed shortly.

Latest mod is a Xenon H.I.D. conversion kit. Pics still have to be taken, but my camera is broken so that just has to wait a bit

Nice car, you have.

Welcome in the diesels club.

Can you tell me which unit do you use for audio and navigation?
Is it an all in one unit?

The rims look really great with the KW suspension.
Do you had enough space for the rims after lowering?

Have fun here!

The navi is a Pioneer AVIC-HD1BT, Navi, DVD-player, 40GB Harddisk, Radio. It comes with a bluetooh-module (plug and play) which enables me to call without taking my phone out of my pocket. I can dial using the 'radio'

The wheels fit, but when I have a little bit of cargo in the back I can't make any sporty turns, the rear tires rub just a millimeter. I'll just have to modify the wheelarches.

Not bad, black with silver, next step is aero kits?

Welcome! Looks nice, a turbo diesel would be cool here in the states.

@ kafai: I'm searching for the bumper + skirts that are on the 2.0 Sport and the USDM rear bumper from the Mazdaspeed Protégé and maybe the front-lip that comes on the MP3

@D-rock: I've also heared that on msprotege.com, especially when I start telling it does up to 75 mpg :bleh:

welcome to forums... love what you done to your 323f... and saving money while driving it's a plus....

[protege]

lovely as i've said before ;)

hows the suspension so far? Fixed the rear yet?

[Freekenstein]

Unfortunately I haven't fixed the rear yet, 'cause my insurance-company starts complaining about my radio and stuff and that I have to have an alarm-system installed. So that willl come first and after that will the rear be fixed and maybe I'll have some more things done

[trq]

Love those rims! Awesome
