I just couldnt resist

noo, no more rovers now unless i get offered a tomcat turbo for cheap ;)
no unfortunately the rev counter does not work… because he snapped the needle? i dont quite understand why he was in there in the first place unless it was to get the wiring from the back of the original counter. I will be needing a new set of dials at some point because that bolt on is not pretty is it :rofl:
-
a couple of small updates, i have moved the numberplate back to its original position and have put the mazda badge back on the rear to try and cover up some of the flakey paintwork but i may smoothboot it like i did my last one in time
so far it seems pretty good as a daily despite looking a bit tatty round the edges. had a cambelt at 90k in 2009 and now on 114k so loads of life left in that one yet :D
it does not like going slowly though which is peculiar. it has a strange stumble below 2000rpm but nothing i cant live with. might read the codes to see if anything shows up.

pm sent :cheers:

Fair play. Clean looking 3, looks like it'll turn into a very nice car.

You can't beat a bit of T-Series goodness :P
That 25 would've made an awesome sleeper with an engine swap from the ZT160/R75 Turbo. Common enough swap now and remaps to around 180bhp.

Ok, so i know i have been MIA recently but i am planning on making a comeback to the site :cheers:
thought i wouls start off with some more recent pics of the red one in all its polished glory so here we go
still needs a lot of work to get back to standard but i will get there as soon as i can find some bloody work! after a set of standard wheels (and tyres) for little money if anyone has a set of them lying around. I hope you have all been keeping well on here. :respect:
-
:respect: nice and tidy fella
-
it looks an awful lot like a cappuccino on that second pic :shock:
thanks bud, havent really gotten anywhere with it yet except a polish due to lack of fundage unfortunately.
-
Very tidy fella, looks a much cleaner example than the white one!
-
haha thanks but its really not, this car is a total mess aesthetically. the pictures do it a great justice. doesn't he;p having those, ball achingly, ugly alloys on there for a start!
-
cool pics man , will be good to have you back on board sometime.
-
Great to see you back dan :bigok:

Hmmm things going from bad to worse. my lovely drilled and grooved disks seem to be falling apart. Plenty left on the disks but for some absurd reason the previous owner has changed 3 corners worth of brake pads and missed out the other one (left rear) meaning it is down to the metal and scouring the disk all over, but worse than that, because of the added heat from the metal on metal the disk now has a crack about 2 inches long so i will have to replace both rears…. and to top things off the horn has decided to stop working. first the clutch and now this.... an MX-6 is looking mighty tempting right now
-
Your best off having standard disks on the rear anyway but the pads might of warn uneven because the caliper might be ceased. I have a horn if you want to buy it?
-
thanks but the horn itself is actually working, its the steering wheel thats nackard, shoyld have been more clear about that. disks and pads are the main issue at the moment as i could probably hook up a button for the horn if needed
-
wow that looks very clean :bigok: :bigok:
