    Background


    I’m a 25 year old from Chicago IL. The name 323FOREWORD, 323 is from my first mazda and FOREWORD is a song off Linkin Park CD METEORA. I grew up in Chicago IL. Moved to San Lorenzo Puerto Rico in 1999. That’s when I started liking imports. My kind of cars where muscle cars. Since my dad had a 70’ SS 396 Chevelle. When I moved to Puerto Rico my grandfather gave me a 91’ Mazda 323 DX. I didn’t know what it was but didn’t care because I needed a car and it had power. In 2003 I started going to a technical college. I took a course in fuel injection. That’s where I met some friends with BG mazdas. From there on I really started liking my 323 more and started modding it. On Sept.16 05’ I smashed my 323 street racing. Lost control and hit a brick barrier. Two weeks later I bought my 92’ Protégé LX for $400. The car was sitting under a tree for two years. It took like 9 months to get it where it is at today. Now I can play Gran Turismo 2 and use my car.

    Many thanks to Clubprotege, Mazda323performance, Carrito.net, PuertoRicoDragRacing.com my Father,Brother and Choko for the body work.

    I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.
