Thanks bud,
-
The shine off of that! Finding it hard to believe lol
-
Lol… They said it was duller than a season of downton abbey, that it could never shine haha
G220 ftw! Still scratchy, but not so embarrassingly chronic.
The alarm randomly went off, blew my ears off!

Hi Marco x did ya do glass yourself? my moulding strip is rank ! think it was fitted on a friday by Stevie Wonder ! its all pukered and wrinkly :( would like to replace at same time as glass, which I think will fail test on thurs this week, due to bullet hole? My K8 is black too, (PZ I think ?) have you used the paint 'swirl remover' listed on probestore? I generally use 'coloured turtle polish' but always end up with an engine turned effect after polishing? just wondered if youv'e ever used it or know someone who has? kev B , PS what wheels ya usin with 5 stud? Aftermarket or Mazda ?
-
Heres me on about Stevie Wonder? and theres a big fekkin white autowindows van in background of ya pics ??? Derrrrrrrrrr ! did ya fit glass yerself ???? lol. Soz Marco! think it was that excessive shine on car that blinded me somewhat ? x Aww its late! brain fade! question still stands on swirl remover tho ? unless theres a bottle clearly visible in pics somewhere?
-
Hey! Nope got it done, cheaper than buying the right tools for the job! Haha yea that's common enough. My old car was lie that too. Bullet hole!?
Yep pz. I used farcla g3 and a polishing pad, its really the DA polisher that matters the most to me! Can't imagine how long it'd take by hand :shock:

BEFORE:
AFTER:
Nice MAF system on these, very little restriction compared to the V6 VAF. External IAT sensor too, nifty!
Now with K&N cone filter :)
Windscreen looks fantastic :) The seal is really neat, glad I went new.Also:
Ran wynns engine cleaner, largely cleared up sticky HLA tick
New oil filter
New oil
New valve cover gasket
-
Damn…. I'm in the process of doing that to mine but damn.. it's not going to be that good!
-
Great work in such a short amount of time! Very nice!
I did love the MAF on the 1.6 it is quite nice from the VAF on the GS or the RS. I always wanted to look into the Milly MAF to see if it could swap over. it is larger :)
Still cannot believe how much work you have put into it in such little time. Great job. Glad to see this not go to the crusher.

@36f9ad49f4=josh95mx:
Great job. Glad to see this not go to the crusher.
It was never going to go to the crusher. If Marc hadn't bought it, I was planning on entering it into next seasons Stockhatch class. The silver one will be heading to the crusher soon though - if ya want a free engine Marc, you're welcome to it lol
-
Haha yea must be because it was rough to start people think it was being crushed! Hmmyea I think I'll have to get that off you Jason thanks. Barcelona badge was removed today lol
Thanks Josh. I've been fairly flat out working on it in between study. Hoping to get it show worthy, not mint but not embarrassing for summer car shows.
MOT is booked for Thursday :-) not sure if it will pass but I hope the list won't be too long considering so much has been replaced.
-
What's the plan for the wheels that were on it?
-
Sell them on, why you keen on them?
-
Mazdaspeed strut bar installed, plenty of clearance on a 4 cylinder :lol: Kinda forgot I had this! Brightens up the bay a bit.
-
Suffering from the cold today, so haven't been doing anything major. Installed MS strutbrace, refitted interior trims, eunos SS sill plates and then took some photos -
-
Sexy time! This is coming along awesomely. The moment steering wheel is the job! I showed my brother these pics, he's delighted to see what you've done.
Yeah, if ya are moving them on let me know, all depends on the finances at the time tho, moving into a new apartment next month (and not to mention the rx7 money pit!).
-
Yea they're for sale :-) though I may take 2 tyres off them. Nice one, I do my best haha. Though the best has yet to come of course.
MOT PASSED WOOOOOOO :-)
it actually failed first time but only on headlight adjustment! It has evidence of a frontal bump, so I think that's why. The tester was very impressed with the refurbed subframe and general mechanical work, 5 stud conversion etc :-)
Next step registration!

-
By the by, there's a rotary meet in Portlaoise on 7/7 if your RX7 is ready ;)
-
Decat is complete. Not overly attractive but a decent result for being made in between snow flurries :-) 2.5" stainless.
