Well in Aus, this is a Mazda 323 Astina SP-20, but everywhere else it's a Protege5. So considering there is no one in Aus on this site with the same car as me, I've joined the Protege5 crew. Hey all!

Tell me what you think or what mods I could do, cause I could really do with some advise about where to start in the mods department, cause Im only new at it and honestly have no idea. hehehe. Cheers Cass.

Well this was my faithful old 'Festy' (Ford Festiva).

But I traded in the 'Festy' and bought a new ride and here it is, the new Mazda 323 Astina SP-20 'Zoom - Zoom' I love it!

Put Some white 18in wheels on it, drop her a couple of inches and it would be hot as. Already a hot car now but hotter if you do that. Check out my Astina when you get a chance

looking good. lowering the car would be the first mod i suggest. the results are amazing. rims would be next if i were you. you have pretty good aftermarket support in AUS?
