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

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 thoughHurry 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 carI 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:

Easy enough to do, bit of gumption and patience
-
Thanks Sam, love that colour scheme and maybe something to do this spring to perk the wheels up
Anyway, ive been a bit quiet on the MX-3 this winter, spent a heap on the mx-5 and she is running lovely now and cant wait to drive her down to italy in june :bigok:
Havent really bought anything over christmas for the mex, I have been saving my pennies for a full vinyl wrap, this will be the last big thing until I get a larger exhaust sorted and finally find a lightened flywheel and thtas pretty much the project end and then I am going to enjoy her all summer as she has been parked up all winter except for sundays and meets that I go to locally.
cant wait for the wrap as its really going to make the car stand out even more, the other club I am part of will have the MX-3 front row for a number of modified car shows this year as hashiriya is all about having something different to the normal.
I will be having some decals for the club done and trying to get people to buy some MX-3's to keep this group alive in the UK.
Also with some new contacts in the car scene I have made over the past few months I will be having a feature done on the ZE in a car magazine after I have had the vinyl wrap so will keep you posted on that and it will be having a pro photo shoot hopefully april time after wrapping too:D
heres an update pic anyway of her at a charity meet at christmas
