normi79,
Welcome and nice looking ride. Karlsruhe is a nice part of Germany. I lived further south down the A8 for about 7 years.

[normi79]

@Tstar

Du bist auch überall unterwegs

@dolphin
Thanks! You lived in KA? What you´ve done here?

[dolphin]

I visited some friends there. I actually worked in Stuttgart. I am sure that it is much different now since I left Germany in 1989.

(cool) Greetings Norman! (hi) Welcome to the Mazda Forums community!

I like the look of your 323F-BG...What mods do you have planned for the future?

[dolphin]

Antoine,
That is a good question.

Normi79,
Does the TUV still make you get everything sign off by a Meister?

[normi79]

Thanks for welcome!
Ou, i try to find the right words in english for all i´ve done...
Engine: K&N57i Kit on a 1.8SOHC BP01
Exhaust: Fujitsubo complete, from Catalysator
Springs: Weitec -35mm F/R , but its really ca. 60mm
Wheels/Tires: Azev K in 7,5x16" with Toyo Proxes T1-S/T1-R, wheels coloured in Mazda3 Black and the original Golden Couler of my Car.
Exterieur: Foha Frontspoiler, Foha Rearspoiler, Vestatec Rearbumper, Original Mazda Roofspoiler from Japan, Astina-Emblem from Japan.
Interieur: Seats, Doorpanels ect. from F-BG GT PFL, combined with the original brown parts from the original Interieur, Shortshifter, Raid Leathersteeringwheel, Schroth Seatbelts, that Temperaturething from 323BJ (Protege5 in US) and a Soundstream 2-Way SPL-System in Selfmade Doorboards, Everything in the Trunk is selfmade, with a Soundstream SPL Subwoofer, and Soundstream SX-500/SX-700 Amplifiers. AND: I´ve got a Cigarettlighter in the Trunk :)
Planed: Foha Sideskirts (öhm, is that right?!), possible a Vestatec Rearspoiler...and i have to coulor that stuff

@dolphin

Yes, TÜV still makes People in GER going crazy...so i don´t find anything for my Rearspoiler, to sign it up from a Meister :(

[dolphin]

normi79,
You are doing much better in English than I would be in German!
Yes the strictness of the TUV can be a pain! I wish the US had a system part way between the TUV and our system. At least with the TUV you don't have to worry about dodging cars and parts of cars that come apart on the highway.

[normi79]

Take some pics in sunshine?? (jerkit) Everybody do it that way...
I´ve take some pics today, at a rainy afternoon in Karlsruhe

Welcome to forum, I miss Germany so much. I lived in Rostock,Wardemunde while i work in the Aker shipyard. 2 summers ago

[normi79]

Why you don´t take a flight right over here? Get in a Hotel, rent a Car, take a ride on Autobahn, without any speedlimits and visit me in Karlsruhe? ;)
If somebody of you ever take a journey to Germany, your welcome to visit me!

[normi79]

Now, at least 2 years after my latest post, some new pics of my old ride:
