Had a fun 3 mile drive home in the MX3 today, she was making some awesome noises when I was redlining it, love the pop pop pop it makes, could this be a turn around of my mood, we will have to see?
-
Get a freakin tubby on there !!!! then it will make some awesome noises ;)

So I've been practicing my carbon wrapping skills.
I took one iPod, one bit of carbon sheeting and…...
Voila :) a lightweight racing iPod :lol:
I am hoping to get an iPod ready head unit off my nearest and dearest so I thought I'd give it a touch of the fake weave to go with the fake weave centre console I have done.
-
great work on the ipod looks cool

Cheers Jay, the missus went a step further and got a proper "racing iPod" though (I don't fancy trying to wrap this little blighter!)

Might possibly do some mirrors and my front splitter but just used up some scraps of the sheet to do these little things:
I could do with a better quality vinyl like decalFX.com use, cus then I could stretch it a little better, as it is this stuff just seems to melt a little and lose its colour.

have you thought about doing the whole dash? that would be awesome! or not? trying to picture it, but what you've done looks nice.

Far too fiddley for me mate, I can do easy square things at the moment and that's about it. The dash would look, well, I'm not sure, I think it would look cool but a bit OTT. I'm all for getting the flocked look going on mine.

Search on google Jay, there are loads of places on there and I don't want to put every one that I have just seen in a link. You can get your own flocking kit, which I might look into…...

I tried to vinyl wrap my dash, I flipped out after 2 hours of heating, stretching and cutting… just wayyyyyyyyyyyy to fiddely... cos you have negative 3d curves... it just won't stick/hold properly... I just gave up... (which i very rarely do)

Well guys, I've decided I am definitely keeping the MX3 but I very much doubt I will be doing anything to it very soon, as next year I am going sensible and concentrating on my ever decreasing future.
I am going to be concentrating all my efforts into my house which has been neglected for near enough 2 years and is in serious need of some work. The electrics are in a bad way, there are holes in the bodywork (it's damned cold with missing external bricks!), the engine(boiler) is faulty, the sunroof (badly done loft conversion) needs ripping out and re building, the fuel tank(kitchen) is in a sorry state. Then I can sell it and get myself somewhere with a garage and somewhere to work on the car away from the elements and scum that roam the streets of my town.

When it's clear again, come over and we'll fit some camber adjust bolts on the bottom of each strut.
