    My BG familia story :-)

    Hello Familia lovers !

    It's time to do my "worklog" and present to you my little story ^^

    I own for the moment :

    3 mazda 323 BG GT : one is on "reborn" state and the other one is for spares parts, the last one is a donor car.

    2 mazda 323 BG diesel : one is my dialy drive and the other is for spares parts.

    2 mazda 323 BG GT-R : one need a refresh and the other one is for future trackdays.

    I'll try to made a good and detailled post.

    let's start this post with my first car ! lot of memories,trip and fun with this car, it's a mazda 323 bg gt 93' i still got it ! i reserve her a good surprise !

    I bought it cheap, in poor state, she was drinking more oil then gas, i found pictures the first day i bought it ! she had big stickers, red smoked paint lights, sideskirt and a dtm style exhaust, i removed thoses **** directly lol



    Engine bay lol...the battery was leaking acid...



    here is the wash of the engine bay...before and after...i of course changed the battery and putted a oem battery cover.




    My 323 is a gen 2 (grill with the central mazda logo, front bumper with two holes, rear curved bumper like the gt-r, the rear bumpy light, big molding and gen 2 interior, same as the edm gt-r and somes others little differences).

    I don't like a lot the gen 2 grill and the gen 2 bumpy lights, that's why i putted a gen 1 grill (with the mazda on the side) and the gen 1 lights (slim one).

    A friend gave me for free a complete body of a crashed mazda 323 BG GTX, i take off lot of parts, and putt the gtx wheels on my gt !





    I took the optionnal gtx 14" alloy wheels and putt thoses on my gt, i also bought somes lowering springs.






    After that, let's remove the goudron !






    And also rebuild the rear brake because it was not famous !

    Before :





    After :




    Somes random "funny" stuffs :

    CV joint opened...



    Smashed rear right damper plate...damn made a crazy sound when he broke !



    Break the key on the keyhole...was hard to get lol



    Always nice to found your car like that on the parking school...



    I bought a other GT for spares, but it's a gen 1, blown headgasket and hell rusty ! (sorry crappy old cellphone pictures).







    let's get back to my first gt,

    I bought a set of used rota grid in 15" with brigestone potenza re720



    I ride a lil bit and i sold the rota and bought some news shoes for my gt (sorry the car is dirty).





    Engine was drinking more and more oil, one day, i was driving with my mom, and he broke !

    Now she's waiting his new "upgraded" heart and lot of very nice parts !! surpriiiiise !



    Let's continue my story with my daily drive !



    #2
    I was without car, needed one good looking, confortable and affordable car......a 323..........of course ! but this time, a diesel !

    here is my daily car, the mazda 323 bg 1.7 diesel (i bought it crashed, i never had a crash in my life, and start the rebuild with a other diesel having for free). now she have 370.000km more less 8)

              And finally, i bought a set of mazda familia infini corners





















              I had a little oil leak on the timing belt cover, was very little, but one day it's started to be bigger and i saw somes coolant leak too, time to repair !

                    Here's my pride and joy lol,

                    My first GT-R, need a refresh, but it's a gt-r ! bought it very cheap too,

                    Found it in a little newspaper for sale, just grab the phone, discuss the price and let's do it ! i was in school exams lol just crazy !

                    It as no windshield, and the weather was very cold (-2degres celsius if i remember well) i came back with a towing bar on the highway lol was just crazy ! but you know, a gt-r for sale, if you are not quick, she will be sell after a couple of days or maybe hours ! gt-r are a little world, all the guys i know who love gt-r have always more then one gt-r and a lot of parts !





                    Look the trunk, with the lower wing he take the rust ! i don't like the lower wing, she will never have a other back lol !

                    Thoses wheels are from a mazda xedos 6, but i already have a set of original enkei ^^







                    For the moment, the car is still in the same state, i'll reserve the best of the best, a complete restauration (remove all the parts, traitement of the body etc) with plenty of mazdaspeed parts and jdm goodies ! it need a lot of money, and for the moment i don't want to make somethings at 50%, she will have the best, when i'll have enought money, i'll attack this beauty !

                          The saga continue,

                          I picked up this GT gen 2 for a good price too, long time she never drove, somes stuffs needed to be fixed, but the car was in more less good condition !

                          Here's some "before" pictures, broken front wing, molding were in poor state, somes interior broken parts, a "home made" stereo with a computer speaker, a poor reparation of the left mirror...etc.

                          Like always, a good check up, oil change, sparks...etc















                          Lot of crap there ! time for a good clean !



                          LOL...



                          Want easy hp ? stickers adds horsepower...lol





                          Rust removed from parts and repaint.



                          Let's take care of this seat !








                          I had in my spares parts stock a passenger seat in good state, let's make the conversion ! somes stuffs are different but it's fine and "usuals person"s can't see that the seat has been rebuild" the best stuff is you have two travel pocket on the back in place of one !





                          On the left, the finished product, i also remove the little rust and gave a paint on the black rails.



                          "New" wing.



                          Gen 2 have "money holder" it's a little box, but here was broken



                          Didn't have a gen 2 interior cover in stock, i putted a gen 1 in place.



                          Removed the old pedals rubbers.



                          Better ones in place.



                          The washerwindshield were discolored and rusted, let's paint it !

                            Same for a rear windows molding.



                            Fix the door molding, and i change the wing molding with a "bumpy" one.



                            Finish !















                            I exhanged this car with a gt-r complete for parts ! but what a gt-r you will see the disaster soon !
