Got my down pipes heat treated with fire coat, started plumbing my oil cooler in.
-
Good work :) Did you block the egr on the header? I was hoping to find a bolt to fill it but alas I may have to just weld it shut! Where did you buy your oil cooler?
-
I cut the old egr union filled it with weld and screwed it into the new pipe.
Got the cooler from a friend and bought the sandwich plate from Garfy1981.
Bought the pipes from ebay for £20.

Lowered the car 40mm today, looks alot better. Makes the ride sharper.
Also picked up another set of rims, not sure what Mazda they used to go on?

That would be good to see you there, i was the first MX3 to drive there. Made a prat out of few bigger power cars, to the point were they were sniffing round in the pits only to be embaressed to find out that 130bhp gave them so many problems.
:D

HuM !

-
Well done Mechanic!
-
HuM!
-
good work :D And in very good time as well!
-
Hum!

thats some amount of kit, all clever stuff that'll make the most out of the car. if i got some spare cash, thats pretty much exactly the stuff i'd love to get.
do you notice a big difference with the handling etc after the mods?
-
The power is ok, the brakes are unreal and lowering the centre of gravity helps no end.
Its almost got rid of body roll completly. 8)
-
and how is the ride lowered that much?
-
Used to my scooby power just over 300bhp, then i was using my mates M3 ac schnitz tuned that was about 380bhp. Then i had to buy another house and needed the money. So 200bhp is just enough to get to work :lol:
The lowering springs another coil removed, so it's nice and slammed with rock hard suspension as the shocks can hardly move, suits the way i drive. :twisted:
-
i was thinking of a 30mm drop, low but spine crunching low.
the girlfiend would just be moaning :wink:
-
wish mine had 30mm drop i have 45mm
