Sooty 2.0 - Autozam AZ-3 B5ZE - rear bumper respray
-
how does the 1.5 turbo compare to other versions of the MX-3 you have built?
-
great work mate.
i have an az-3 in black too, has the rear sun shade and side window rain/wind deflectors.but great someone else local to me who knows all about the az3.
having some issues with my fuel tank and filler neck which i need sorting.any help will be appreciated.
-
Cheers spoddy!
Admin it's actually great fun. I think it's a bit quicker than the ZE and does it all at the last 3000revs. Very drivable daily and seems pretty economical too. Must get it dynod and dragged.
Yesterday I replaced:
Timing belt and pulleys and spring
Cam seals
Crank seal
Water pump
Also stripped and cleaned 8x intake hla
It was all a pleasure to replace! Very easy on this engine :)
It still didn't cure my HLA tick but that's because that turned out to be an exhaust gasket!
-
so much space around that engine bay.
never come across that? how was it causing a tick?
-
I've never heard such a percussive exhaust leak. It was right at the head, the two layers of metal were there but the black centre stuff was blown out.
Yea so roomy! It's brilliant being able to stand in the bay :D

-
Loving the power plant!, so what's next ??
Wanna race ??? :)
-
Haha! Love the cheeky pops under the bridge :mrgreen:
Turbo envy is setting in!
-
Thanks Ricco! Haha turbos are just too fun :)
lol yea sure come on over Garfy!
This was next, £40 HKS super dragger exhaust off gumtree from a Glanza. Pity it was dented at the tip and the baffles were on the verge of being blown out. The perforated tube had rotten a bit exposing the packing. The bottom had also been flattened and scraped, these people and their lowness :P :lol:
So naturally I chopped it into pieces.
-Carefully cut the end open
-I rammed in a better condition perforated tube
-hammered out the big dent on the tip
-rotated the tip 180deg so all scrapes are hidden at the top
-sanded and polished it up
-new brackets
-welded to my exhaust
Might have to remove my mid silencer, turbos got things far too quiet!
-
That's the sh*t right there! Nicely played Sir :D
-
OOooooo…. I like that exhaust. NICE work. :respect:
-
THanks guys! I'm liking the look a lot.
Check out the flames!
-
Amazing!!!Do you have any videos????? :respect:
-
You have made me start to look at cat back exhausts!!
Nice work :rimshot:
-
EXhaust grilled BK whopper anyone,lol
-
Haha!
Must get more video done.
Decided car was too quiet, it still is very quiet even now, but the pops and bangs are better :)
Replaced centre box with 2.5" stainless!
-
Nice, I had 2.5" & a straight through rear 'box on the 205..That shit was loud! :D
-
you engineering and builds are the best your video's are the worse lol
-
Very nice, Yes 2.5" should do nicely. That is what I ran on mine and was very loud!
-
Haha I can't believe how quiet it is! That turbo is like the ultimate muffler!
Been arising about with the IAC, boring stuff, bit weird to set up on megasquirt.
