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

noice bling 8)

Thanks, was thinking of wrapping it in heat shield when fitting it but then I do like shiny metal
-
DJ, Has someone put a big F U on the back of your car?

me too! wouldnt do it mate, you wont be able to see it change colour :D
-
Very nice material 8)
The headers I ordered from ebay.co.uk didnt fit well. Had to cut one of the two pipes because it was to tight with the "bar" from the gearbox and align it right and weld again. I did a custom exhaust at the same time so I dont know about the length though.But why chrome altezzas? The stock ones doesent look so bad? :o

The headers I have had a good plan with to get them right :wink:
The altezza's I have black ones that look great but they leak like a cheap nappy (diaper) and were always steamed up, so I bought those cheap the only reason being is I have quad rear lights with twin fogs wired in mine and you can only do that with altezzas as the standards dont have the extra hole on the left side of the car for a bulb
-
YAHOO - 12 months MOT as from today
One advisory and that is the clip that sealss the drive shaft gaitor has dropped off which is a 5 min job, not bad for a car I bought as a scrap non runner for £90 nearly 17 months ago.
I did new rear brakes last month as I found a caliper had seized again but she has a perfect bill of health :D :D :D
I also did some bits the weekend so you may notice I have changed something on the front last week :P
-
good time to start on that ze now then!, that will give you a year to fine tune it and hopefully get emmisions right!.
-
lookin good bud…
Where'd ya get the front plate made up? Lookin to get a square plate for mine too...

KLZE FITTING DATE = 16+17tH APRIL 2011 :D :D :D
The Emmisions will be ok as I will be remaking the exhaust so the cat can be refitted and my new decat fitted as well
-
Nice one :)
Looking forward to this.
-
If you run into any trouble give me a shout.

If its as straight forward as you explained on the phone it should be fine, its not the first mx that I have had the engine out of.
I am considering removing the EGR but if everything else is done on this engine and its a straight swap I will be fine hopefully, if not I will be riding my bike a lot and going to japfest in a skoda octavia :cry: .Before it goes in, its a full service, decent oil ( any recommendations on that please) bosch super 4 plugs then the induction kit + kerr nelson leads
Will my old K8 airflow sensor be ok thats fitted in the induction already or will I need an MX6 one ???
I am praying the exhaust is not too loud, I am fitting the race headers and downpipe, decatted with a 2.5" straight through exhaust into a 5" tailpipe and oversize rear box
-
K8 VAF (JE50) is fine as its the same as MX6 KLZE, its the KLDE that use different VAF (KL02)
