Sam's Proper MX-3 - LT Turbo project *Parting out*
-
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.
-
-
Thats the last of my pictures from this hot weekend, think I need a course in photography as its not as easy as it looks to get the right shots everytime.
-
those moving pics look sweet mate. how the hell did you manage that :lol:
-
Got the missus to hang right out the window and snap away, its funny we must of taken about 15 shots which all looked like we were stationary :?
They were the only two pics that look like we were moving :D
-
You need a slower shutter speed to get the impression of moving (blur). That means you have to keep the camera more steady though ;)
-
Thanks Marc I had a feeling it would be something along those lines. Guess you would be best of setting up a camera mount with remote to capture those sort of shots perfectly, will be having a go at some more photoshoots soon if we get another semi decent weekend weather wise, plus a few night shots.
Had a good look round the breakers this afternoon to pick some spare indicators so I can pull them apart for the clear mod. and happened upon these floormats!
I guess these are genuine OE? the black V6 they were in had the stitched gear knob but the top look liked it had been chewed by a dog! so didnt bother getting that. While I was there I pulled apart some of the power steering pipe work of a 1600 to find out what pipe sizes I need for my alu. tank and also measured up for an alu. tank to replace to windscreen washer bottle :D
Also received my plastic headlight covers today!
-
Just completed the clear indicator mod. Garfy's guide here is spot on
http://www.mx-3.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=52661Just a couple of things I would like to add that I did, heres what I started with.
Rested the light in a jug so I could rotate it at the same time as heating it.
once heated I ran the knife along here a couple of times and once
I reached the tab just lifted the knife blade slightly to pop the tab
forward, unpop all the tabs and gently pull the cover forward, if you hear cracking stop and add more heat
removed the orange bucket and scrubbed the lense clean with soft cut and a bit of bleach.
chrome/amber bulb works great!
-
looks great!, i posted a mazda part number on my guide for new lenses only, but im unsure if you can get them from uk, mine were shipped from U.S.
-
Yeah I thought about trying to track some down, but wanted to see what I could be acheived with a clean and polish and tbh Im pretty happy with the results so I'll stick with these for now. Until one day they might become redundant alltogether :D
-
-
i recognise that place, is it an ind est near emsworth / southbourne, I am sure I have there lol
Looking good, hope there wasnt too many speed bumps :D
-
Its is! Southbourne ind. est. near where I work. No speedbumps but I did some lovely grinds getting Her into position…
-
LOL thats weird, I have been there once in about 1998/9 and that pic bought it all back for some reason
-
spooky eh maybe its that smoke stack incerator that bought it back as you can see that from most of the 'bourne.
-
have you considered a rear spoiler? I just feel like it drops off to quick in the back… or maybe some mud guards?
-
I know what you saying it does possibly need something and a part of me regrets removing
the rear mud flaps (not the fronts though) I still have an Alfa romeo spoiler that needs work to fit
but I think will really pop on there :D
or maybe I'll just leave that alone…Joshs ducktail is nice though
-
looking realy stunning dude keep up that amazing work
