got the wheels for 400, second hand, with 2 pilot sports on the front(they grip like mad!) :lol:
I wanted a de-cat pipe, but the guy that did it just put a straight pipe in! gonna be interesting come mot time!
350 ish sounds fair, mine was about 300, custom all s/steel with a carbon jap can on the back. make sure it comes with a guarantee. my standard exhaust fell off due to the rust snapping the pipe right behind the wheel.
and theres a lot of work to get it into that shape behind the wheelas well.

A DE-CAT PIPE is just a straight piece of pipe that replaces the CAT.
Its that simple. it just replaces the CAT.
As for MOT if your MX3 is a 1991 or 1992 then it is LEGAL to remove the CAT.
If not you can either put in a Hi-FLOW CAT or swap back to the old CAT for MOT time.
Of course my advice is to make sure you keep it legal.

Well not posted for a bit, but i ve got the next 3 days off so time to tidy up the mx.
Before
Gettin the aerial off, back lock smoothed and the old number plate holders off.
Fog lights have taken 10 years of shit of the road, so they re off and painted.
Got a set of clear indicators waiting to go on the side, gonna do the sidelight mod and got some tint spray for my rear lights.
Need to do a rocker cover gasket change, not lookin forward to it because off the intake manifold having to come off. :shock:
-
Well as the weathers been pish up here the last week not done as much as i wanted.
Wee update, rocker cover gasket done absolute pain in the neck aint as easy as it looks. Front indicators cleared. Fog lights finished and ready to go back on. Went and bought some new componets today, the sizes are 165mm all round and fit straight on. And i got 2 vibe blackair subs from my mate.
I ll put some pics up later.
-

If you mean the front indicators that was a diy job with long nosed pliers.
And the side ones you ll see when i put some piccies up!lol

Small update, just ordered my coilovers should be here in the next few weeks.
Thinkin about some new wheels which ones do you think,
These in 16s
or
THese in 17s but a bit wider.
-
i like the 5 spoke ones look cool, however the darker ones could lok really good on a white car!?
how come your going for 16s or 17s and getting rid of those smart OZ? although both of those new rims look a similar style to the ones you have now!

Well the 17s weigh 8.5kg each, and the 16s weigh 7.5kg!
Going for handling and acceleration really and a bit of looks, with the coilovers i want to get the car right on its hoop. Dont think i ll be able to get it down on the 18s that i ve got. Been out a few times on some back roads and the cars handling really shit.
Whichever ones i go for they ll prob be gunmetal.
And its all prep for the ZE, the good points about the 17s are that i can get slightly bigger brakes behind them.
