    Got some lime green to match the hoses on its way already :wink:



  • Looks cool with all those accesories :D



  • soon it will look like the mazda version of Mr T lol or just a catalogue on wheels



  • I'm not 100% on the sunroof deflector, it makes the lines of the car odd, it's the same with the headlight protectors, they destroy the natural flow of the MX3 at the front.

    I think if the rear spoiler wasn't there (The high one) it would look ok (to me) but not with both.

    /personal view.

    Nice looking car either way :)



  • It does ruin the flow of the car I must admit but will give it a go, its only 2 screws to rmove so its not a biggy but I disagree on the lights



  • Can you let us know how it effects sound when the sunroof is open? it should help with the MPG as well since the wind will be bounced up and over the sun roof rather then slamming into the hole in the roof lol. (Giving my basic understanding of aerodynamics)

    Didn't know you had a set of headlight protectors bud? I couldn't see them on the images linked.



  • Lori, the deflector is great, no noise with sunroof open and seems to pull the hot air out of the car now :D

    Today did some bits I wanted to do to my car, painted the calipers lime green to go with the engine bay ( finally found a shop that does any colour caliper enamel), swapped the side indicators with the eunos because they are flat and do not have the usual bulge in them the UK ones have and also swapped all the wheel nuts over for the nice chrome capped nuts on the eunos



  • now that is perfect colour matching !!, :D



  • Lookin good DJ!!! Comin along nicely!!



  • Small update, the carbon bonnet is fitted and looking great

    on my holidays shortly and have a huge list of jobs to do when I get back on the car



  • you got them bonnet lifters on there too?



  • looking good dj

    Bonnet lifter will be done next month, the washer jets I have got a set of black ones and will be fitting them to the tray when i get time again :wink:



  • got back to some great news in an email and have now sourced the final and rarest part for my project and has now been paid for, just awaiting delivery in the next couple of weeks
    ( just a clue its rare, made by M/S and goes on the front ) :shock: :D :shock: :D :shock: :D



  • your such a JDM junkie pmsl :lol:



  • lol Dan yup prefer the JDM look, thing is its still attached to the whole car and I got the complete car all genuine like Marco's, will just have to see how good it all is when it gets here :wink:



  • Another update on my worklog, this one is a bit vain and unnecessary but I did it anyway

    All the paperwork etc has gone through and now my KLZE has the H15 MXE number plate on it
    Got to thank eddy for putting up with not owning his new car for just over a month while the papers went through

    The next worklogs will get better promise lol
    Nearly sorted a good deal for all my bodyparts to be sprayed to match the Equipe so I can then do the big stuff, MS skirts, front and rear bumpers and MS spoiler

    I have a weekend stripping the MS wreck car booked for 2 weeks time and then repairing anybody panels before spraying in november

    will be doing lots of little jobs too and new set of brakes all round and its getting to full service time again as temps are now dropping

    Not long away now I can see light at the end of the tunnel for the body part of my project :D



  • Busy day today,

    I put new set of bosch super 4 plugs into the car today
    changed the radiator for the nearly new one I removed from the MS eunos

    Found why I am losing water randomly today, turns out the rad cap isnt a pressure cap so its just chucking the water out of there when its hot, new one ordered just sorted it with the header cap for now

    Look at the new one at the front compared with the old behind

    The old one is on the right and should look like the one on the left



  • Had a nice parcel today with HAPPY BIRTHDAY written on it

    It turns out they wrote that on there to get it through customs without have to pay the vat

    This arrived today, its a rare JDM RX7 steering wheel from Nagano, Japan
    I wanted something to match the interior and after hours of trawling the net looking at crazy designs this stood out :mrgreen:
