Well I would rather own an MX-3 lets put it that way :D
-
Ok so I finally took a few pictures of my beast (car that is :p )
Now the weather's getting nice again I might go somewhere pretty and try and get some decent pictures soon, any idea's of nice places in Essex cos I can't seem to find any lol
anyways pictures :D
Getting a tan on the sea front.
Chilling in the garden
My first mod! thanks to Marco =] bug eye stuff
Browsing the forums
Found this picture the other day of my first MX-3, RIP :( paint looks really faded but it was just nasty artificial lighting
-
what is that bug eye stuff ?
-
hahaha another green fly eyed MX I am really setting a trend with this stuff, like hitler did with little moustaches LOL
Next cheap mod you can try is white enamel alloys for under £15.
They go soooo well with the green MXIts simple, you need
1 can spray primer
1 can of household white radiator enamel
2 cans of lacquer.Make sure the alloy is clean and oil free
apply coat of primer
Then hand paint with a brush 2 coats of radiator enamel.
( use radiator enamel as it will not discolour with heat and oils )
Then finish with 2 coats of lacquer, this gives it a deep shine, glossy finish and covers the brush marks perfectlyVoila - enameled alloys for under £15, it works my white alloys have lasted about a year so far and still in good order and sparkling white

Well I guess it's time to update my worklog, or rather, my repair log >:[
during the winter, my car was part of an ice induced post attack, in other words, hit a patch of ice and she slid into a post leaving this :(
I guess at least it showed me how bad the rust on the arch was
So I popped into halfords and bought
After a little bit of a going over she now looks like this. not finished but it's a heck of alot better than it was!
So the next job was to pop this beast on :p
Not anything special I know but it was replacing this monstrosity!
Much better :D
3 rolls of insulating tape can only do so much for so long!
Next job, something every Essex boy needs… quality KENWOOD sounds blud ;)
Anything's better than the tape deck that was in there already!
After a few months of annoying banging I decided it was time to replace the 2 broken stabilizer linkages, so out came the grinder
out with the old, in with the new :D
The next job on the list was to replace the front o/s CV joint, mazda wanted £380 for it, so I went to my local motofactors, and got one for £80.
the thing was an absolute B!^$H to replace! but we did it, no pictures though cos I was to stressed to take any lolThe last week or so, She's been running like a bag of spanners, so I decided to get under the bonnet and see what I could see, first thing to check, spark plugs.
Whiped out the HT lead, and immediately found the problem.
the HT lead was dripping with oil and the sparkplugs were covered, so I cleaned her out as much as I could.
Looks like the rocker cover gasket has given up the ghost.
Another thing to add to the list of repairs!Next job on the list, replace the broken rear spring.
-
If you want phat sounds with your kenwood, i highly recommend a pioneer pump bass cannon awesome bass in a small box
-
Haha I think I'm getting too old for phat b-lines now, my subs have been replaced by golf clubs lol
-
lol, I still love a phat bassline
-
Well it had to happen one day I guess.
Due to the fact I am currently living 130 miles away from my gf I am finally selling my baby, the car not the gf… unless the price is right! ;) for a more economical relault clio 1.5 DCi.
I have owner her for almost 2 years and have loved every second of it and I will be sad to see her go but needs must and all that!I've stuck a for sale thread in the for sale section so if anyone is interested, let me know.
