    323 BG sedan EDM worklog

    Hello everyone!
    Like irishkev90 in his post

    but in BG threads , I decided to start this topic

    It is devoted to Mazda 323s BG EDM, I know people here like abbreviations like JDM, USDM and EDM lol
    First photo of it is here (honestly speaking, headlights have been replaced 1 month before this photo ):



    First step was installing of new bumper, because old one had destroyed mounting points, as you can see in picture above:



    Let me see you stripped down to the bone ... (c)



    One step after installation and one eye is ready




    Almost all stuff is on his own place, appearance is much better:



    And final pic:



    Sorry for my english

Obviously I ain't alone, as there are a helluva lotta sti and evo here. Bueler? Beuler? Mazda? Mazda?

          Good eye! lol Yes, I've changed them - in the last pic you can see summer wheels, on the previous pics - winter steelies.
          Yet some photos in the showcase

            Shiny Toy Guns covered it, but it's a Depeche Mode song. I like both versions.

            Looks like a good repair. Have you thought about making some kind of bumper reinforcement out of steel tube or something?

              I was so glad when I took new bumper in paint shop, that I've installed it as quickly as possible, lol! Good idea , I'm planning detach it in this spring, so maybe I'll mount some reinforcement! But not promise

                Hmm, I'll have to look them up.

                Nice 323 by the way. Keep up the good work.

                      Thanks, it is current blue metallic, 6N. Old bumper is in garage, maybe for some custom variant of front end update

                      Thanks, man! I'll try keep progress, next step in worklog will be front door speakers installation and sound deadening, I think. Honestly speaking, it has been made along time ago, but I'm trying to keep chronological order, lol

                        Next step - as I've mentioned above - speaker installation.
                        They are DLS RS-5a.
                        Stock are here, but they are brave ones, lol

                        Selfmade adapter:

                        Fits good!


                        Mounting plate is painted and installed:


                        Almost final pics:




                        Inner layer of door sound deadening:





                        Midbass crossovers was mounted here:


                        And bonus - mindf.ck audio wiring from previous "installer":

                          those wires are so janky! one time i wired up a deck into my friends kia sephia and the previous owner wired everything himself. didnt even use the original harness. ran wires to the speakers and to a fuse so it would turn on when the car was running. it was a mess.

                            The window crank clears the speakers?

                              If I understood you right - any problems with that - even stock speaker grille is still used:
