Sam's Proper MX-3 - LT Turbo project *Parting out*
-
Dont think i have commented in here before but have to say I really like what you have done with this! All the best with future modification your going in the right direction anyway
-
wow, lucky on the paint. looks really good in place too.
-
want to knock another one out ?, :D , parden the punn !
-
Thanks for the great comments Dave, tbh its taken quite a few influnces from the miata stance scene, but Im glad I chose that direction think it really works on the '3 too and I cant wait for it to be finished, still a way to go yet though :D
Cheers Eddy, Yeah the paint match is good initially, still think all the blanks and bungs will need the Gulfy touch though…
Garfy I punched a few spare :wink: , so I'll hook you up.
-
hook me up too, i have cash monies :wink:
-
:D Yo K Barry, Do I need to start up my own shop!?lol
Just bought some blanking plugs that might work on the bootlid jet
so we'll see I might have a few of them spares also

Yes! :wink:
-
Have been looking for a workspace recently, Then I could do bumpers/splitters and other stuff too, but ideally would like a house/bungalow with a workshop attached to minimise overheads
-
Lol, a BUNGALOW to reduce OVERHEADS. That should do it.
-
Hahaha funny I see what you've done there :P On the Island there does seem to be an annoying amount of them (probably the high population of OAP's) but most come with large gardens and many with decent size outbuildings.
-
…and the work goes on! :D Picture for Mooneggs here, this is the original set up I had before flipping the mount, the rears are the pretty much the same with all collars together,
Now heres the flipped mount! This was insanely low!
so this is what we settled for….
-
Just had the tracking set by a local place near my work, who managed to unseize the offside track rod end that two previous garages failed to do!
The tracking is now perfect with the steering wheel dead centre, and ive also increased the damping on front suspension and once again so impressed with these XYZ coilovers, the adjustment to standard setting has made it so much more smoother ( rears are still on softest setting but with a bit more preload in the spring)It no longer wants to batter the ground at any given opportunity either too much either. Tyres still rub on the plastic innner arch guard but im not too worried about that it does however scrape just a little bit going in & out of my driveway which is pretty shallow really, so big speedbumps are off limits and even little ones scrape the underneath!
So new stance = new pictures immenently :D
-
-
looking sweet :wink:
-
that looks awsome top marks dude
-
Thanks Dooods :D That is just the first set of pictures I plan to take a few this weekend seeing as the sun is beaming 8)
-
mawd stance yo! Looks epic! I'd have to carefully plan my journeys that low over here, but wish I could roll that height. And damn you and your heat wave. For us unstoppable torrents of rain :x
-
Cheers Bro Yeah will be a mission on long journeys unknown territorys etc! The trappings of a really low car quite literally. I've taken the corner off my wind splitter yesterday on a really small rubber speedbump strip as it had a very aggresive angle!
-
you should try getting into the huge tescos bootsale in southampton, they have put those metal one way flaps in the entrance there and even just on the 40 apex springs, they scrape all the way under my car they are so high
-
lol no chance I would just have to park elsewhere and walk in.
