Mooneggs International Projects 3/20 Updates



  • Back to back updates… That's what happens when Mooneggs takes a 4 day weekend :mrgreen:

    So today I installed a new muffler and wraparound rear mudguards.

    All pics here: http://www.mx-3.com/phpBB3//viewtopic.php?p=604958#p604958

    Teaser :rofl:



  • Oh wow, those mudguards work MUCH better than I would have thought! I think the Moonwax helps with it (think it'd look a bit silly with my colour scheme). Looks awesome man, fair play for taking the risk! Paid off!



  • Amen, I do love em, how much were they?

    Also, Moon.. I know i know. your package was posted today :(



  • Yes it definately was an incredibly expensive risk… let's just say these were one of the most expensive parts I've acquired in the international project... :x When I compare the price to other things I've bought well, whatever, what's done is done... With them being fiberglass they are also the most fragile :( No wonder I've never seen them on another mx-3 in real life!

    Anyways I definately think they are a nice add, even with the space in the middle... 8)



  • wow. never seen a set of those before. but i do love the look of them on the car. but that gap in the back id have to do something about. it looks like a piece is missing.



  • I've made various updates to the DD:

    Added a different MS steering wheel
    Picked up a set of MS-01S rims (test fitting if I like Bronze)
    Also been racing quite a bit :mrgreen:

  • I recently went for an 11 hour drive round trip to a big mazda meet, josh95mx was the only other mx-3 that came. On the way home he got some pics of me in the DD while I was driving. More cool pics after the jump 8)

    I've also finally moved the Race Car into a barn to hopefully get it running again:
