DJMARCOPOLO'S - The GREEN RIVET



  • Just caught up with this work log and WOW looking sick keith, like super sick :)

    Looks so much different from when you first got it.

    Well done!



  • @d9dc8aef8b=youdirtyfox:

    @d9dc8aef8b=eogbaker:

    wow they look amazing and this whole car is amazing. Have you managed to set up the ITB's properly yet?

    You are thinking of the other Marco's car, with ITB's.

    My bad lol… Still lovely wheels



  • Thanks stu, its amazing that I paid £90 for this as a non runner almost 3 years ago

    @eogbaker :mrgreen:



  • Think the head gasket has finally shit itself, got stuck in tesco's friday as its seems to hydraulic when the engine is hot
    Hydraulic = the hot water from the cooling system is expanding into a cylinder through the head gasket forcing the engine not to turn over due to cylinder pressure, its just a theory as its done a load of water again and it will fire after 2 very slow turns of the engine only when its hot though

    Hurry up barrywhite and return my head set please !!!!

    really didnt want this over the winter as I have a ford 1600 OHV engine to slowly rebuild on a jet boat I purchased recently



  • That is the problem with engine conversion's sometimes they just don't wanna run right once you take them out donor vehicle, its just gremlins though Bruv Im sure you will get them sorted once and forever eventually.



  • Oh well it will give me a chance to fit the uprated valve springs now :cheers:



  • Bad news keith :(



  • After a lot of messing about, I had my windows finally tinted

    fronts legal limit smoke and rear dark smoke :bigok:



  • Looking really good mate, have you tried out a set of carbon/black tail lights.? I know the options for tail lights arnt great on a mx, would be good if you could get a set old set and pull off lense then colour code inside same as body work and then re-install lense perhaps ?.
    What do you have left on the to do list ?



  • Hiya, garfy I have 2 sets of lights because they are crap and keep filling with water, I have now swapped over to the black set now due to recent flooding in the lense.
    I have another pair of taillights that are all bust up so I am going to strip them down and fibreglass them up smooth so you only have the visible lights left and see what they look colour coded and flush fitting to the car

    I am just trying to get a design made for a full vinyl wrap for the car that I hope will look stonking and its a design I saw on pimp my ride years ago that stuck n my mind and have never seen it in the uk since

    BBS alloys still to be rubbered and fitted

    rear arches to be rolled and some 15mm wheel spacers fitted all round

    and currently looking for someone good with electronics and engineering to fabricate something for me involving a mazdaspeed part to go onto the car, it seems quite simple on paper but i can see it will be a ball ache to get done



  • Brand new tyres from the wife for christmas so the wheels are on an pretty happy with them :cheers:



  • couple of pics from a cruise the other night, Extreme modified magazine were all over the car there and they took a lot of pictures so keep your eyes peeled on that magazine in the new year :bigok:
