Well, this is my 93 323. I bought it in March 2007 and have put quite a bit of work into it to bring it back to life and make it alot more fun to drive. I started by taking out some massive dents that the past owners had made and picking away at the body work along with transferring some of my spare stereo equipment over into this car which includes a Clarion mp3 head unit, 120W 4" Clarions in the dash, 250W 6.5" Clarions for the doors, 260W Kenwood 6X9s for the back seat and a 700W 12" Clarion DVC sub with a Kenwood Excelon 1200W 5 channel amp powering that and the 6X9s. Needless to say, it's really loud but still comes through very clear. After that an axle came apart on me and ruined the tranny as well, so that was replaced along with new struts, balljoints and tie rod ends. I then went up a few sizes for new tires even though they were still 13's and picked up an aftermarket steering wheel, cross drilled rotors, cone filter and new xenon headlights. After that I finally finished the body work and had it painted.

Now is where the fun part began. I picked up a 93 Protege and scrapped it for some better seats, and a B8 1.8L engine. It may not have as much HP as the BP, but it has the same amount of torque as it and more importantly, it has alot more power than the stock B6. I finished the transplant 2 nights ago along with a new clutch and it's a big difference. This should put me in the mid to high 15 sec range in the 1/4 mile. Unfortunately, I wont be able to find out because right now I'm collecting parts to make a BP turbo. Also, I picked up some some 14" Escort rims.
Well, a few new changes have been added to the car. Instead of the 1 Clarion sub, I now have 2 12" 1000W Alpine Type Rs and a 1500W Dual Voice Coil 12" Type R. I'm powering them with my 1800W Kenwood monoblock and an 800W Rockford amp. Also, here's my turbo and turbo manifold along with front and rear strut braces, my new Mx-3 seats and the new Pioneer deck.
I finally was able to track down a decent BP to swap in, which will be going in very soon since it is in such good shape and only had 160,000kms on it.
Finally, the day came for the BP to find it's new home.
After fine tuning a bit, I added some new mx3 seats front and rear along with jdm headlights, jdm corners, Familia grill and mx3 rims.
