MORE TO DO….........
I bought what was meant to be a custom fit decat pipe from the states for my MX-3 but it was just a universal one that was way to big and wasnt the right shape.
I emailed and struck a deal and he refunded me 50% to get it put right, the pipe is an amazing bit of craftsmanship as it has a 2.5" entrance a tapered tube with small baffle leading to a 2"outlet.
Most cheapy decat pipes is a straight bit of tube so the exhaust gasses hit a wall coming down the V6 downpipes as they are 2.5" to the joint.
Anyway I gave our metal department at work 3 photos and the pipe about 2 months ago and they would fit it in when they had spare time
Wahey more to fit to the car as they made it into this for me today and got it back all nice and shiny too
What I originally bought from Ebay america
Now this is what it looks like :D :D
This cost me about £40 to get from the states and the metal shop guy said it would cost about £25-30 at a decent engineering shop to do the work, it was just cut at the correct angle and reweld, if anyone else wants to do the same this is the one I bought

Each to their own but wipers are ugly and should be not made to stand out in my eyes. If it wasn't on the glass itself I'd take it off completely.

I quite like mine silver, they suit the car and with a set of flat wipers on them dont stand out that much, ignore that photo its awful, it makes the top spoiler look crap too

Well during the move I managed to sneak in some bits for the car
I fitted my decat, it was cheaper to buy a good quality universal one from america and have it adjusted to fit than just have a straight piece of pipe made :?

2011 is shaping up to be a good year, just took delivery of my 2.5 KLZE today along with Iridium Leads and the probinator ECU.
I am on the verge of also purchasing full set of brand new MX6 stainless steel headers and down pipe and getting them adjusted to fit
When the KLZE goes in the full stainless exhaust system will be fitted with 5" tail
This will all be fitted in 4 weeks time, workshop + lifting gear booked already :D :D
-
sweeeeeeeeet !. :D
you will love it !!.
-
very nice looks great
-
Good skills bud, when we gonna see this pink 3 you were on about? :lol:
-
Glad it arrived Ok.
Couldn't see the gearbox and clutch but I guess they arrived ok too.
Hope it goes in smooth, its the engine all MX-3's should have.
-
Really excited about the KLZE going in, it all seems to be fine and was well packaged, will be putting the gearbox + clutch together very soon and then the clock is ticking until the mid april fitting date now so only 4 weeks to go.
Couldnt hold my excitment so I spent so more money yesterday :roll:
Got offered some new alloys at a ridiculously cheap price I could not refuse so snapped them up, they are a set of 17" KEI FUJI alloys 4 months old with tyres to match on them, in hypersilver with black rear fade
I wont make you sick with the price but I had enough change to go to the pub for a few with the Mrs afterwards from £100

Well the postal fairy has been delivering gifts and bargains that I have been searching for.
I have MX-6 Headers arrive today so when I work out how much needs chopping I will be on the case of that, they look the nuts and very well built so should go well with the rest of the exhaust that I have in the picture.
In the brown box is a pair of brand new original mazda front discs I won for £14 and that included the postage :shock:
The other pic down is the chrome altezza's I won for £20 that I fitted today too
My first and probably only bit of bling for the KLZE is a polished aluminium oil filler cap with powered by KLZE stamped on it that I imported
