323Permin's 323 SE transformation into a GT

[323Permin]

Well I played around in the garage today ... started and finish my center caps for the Black wheels I picked up awhile ago.

I was copying a center cap I saw from some Mazdaspeed center cap .

Not sure what it was off of, but it looked like nothing I have come across before . Anyone seen it before ... ?? Kris ???

So got some Aluminum Bar stock and turned me some caps . The centers will be a sticker copy just like the the one pictured below













And I figured out what tires I will be mounting on these Rims ....

Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star's 205/50/15's... I cant wait to get them on the car .. its going to be Sweet !!!

Damn those tires look like they would hold the car on the pavement very well

[323Permin]

The cheapest place I can find the tires are here :

These are the same type of tires Dan Sac is running on his car.

Question... on the western Canada site they show the rear strut bar as solid and the one you got is adjustable...is there a solid one?

or did you choose to go the adjustable route?

@ Wilyb... I know what you are looking at . On their site its a single one piece design . I thought that is what I was getting . But when it arrived it was the 2 pc adjustable one . Curious thing is that the part no# on the Adjustable one is the same as what I ordered The one piece design one ??? . I think they have changed the design . I have never even seen the adjustable design one on there site anywhere , until I got this one deliverd to me .

I dont mind the adjustable design .. makes it easier to install ...

But I am still going to contact them to see whats up abut it
