DILLIGAF?: Project Ratty



  • @e89a1240c9=Ryan:

    Jebus, that looks minty clean now! :D

    Cheers fella. I can't tell what it looks like on the pics cuz I'm on my 'rents PC with budget screen that has a funny blue tinge to it but in reality it's, as they say, "blinging!".



  • looks well dude need a lip on the front though

    exhaust be nice aswell, go along with the shocker…

    for the guys that dont know the shocker is noticed by the JDM world...Japanese domestic market. and means 2 in the pink 1 in the stink or 2 in the goo one in the poo :lol:

    I'm hoping to get a lip sorted out from our good man Ryan and I would love to get an exhaust sorted for it soon too to replace the dirty pea shooter but funds are tight at the moment :(



  • So I've got back from Lincolnshire and I've decided to set aside a plan for Bert. It's simple, clear all the annoying bits about the car that I hate at the moment and then next year get to work on it properly.

    So here goes in order of what I want to do, so if anyone can help out please let me know.

    *Front bumper (no damage as mine is ratty as hell!)
    *Nearside front wing (no damage as mine, erm, is)
    *V6 splitter (any colour but preferably black)
    *New window seals all round
    *Exhaust system (or a decent backbox!)
    *Lowering
    *Performance HT leads (red)
    *Braided Brake lines (blue)
    *Bigger brakes and discs

    *Braided Brake lines (blue)

    **http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350291073836

    Just bought some in red, for Red. And Marvin will be getting a purple set. Stainless fittings as standard.**

    Cheers Fam, they were the exact ones I was thinking of too :D (or Goodridge).



  • Goodridge are a hair more expensive and have zinc fittings as standard - the stainless ones are another £10 on top. Cheapest I've found was Demon Thiefs with a discount voucher and Probestore.



  • Cheapest goodridge ones i found were £48..

    I've been trying to get a box big enough for shipping but have been having a bit of trouble getting one. :?

    Fold cardboard around the actually lip and tape about 4 black bin liners around it with address taped on, how mazota one was recived



  • New Ignition Leads.

    Thanks to the ford probe store(www.rocspares.co.uk) and Mark for his help.



    These puppies have given Bert much better response and start up. I have had to modify them slightly as they did not have the dust covers for the tops. But a much needed addition to the bay, just need to get the silicone hoses for the rest of the bay now, massive filter/induction kit.

    Edit:

    Now with numbers and dust covers (bodged on :lol: )



  • which air pipe keeps coming off?

    which air pipe keeps coming off?

    The one arrowed here:



  • I'm hoping to get my Chavzaust fitted next week so I can finally say goodbye to the embarrassing rotten pea shooter and also have a better sound to the car :D



  • Just so people know. This is the Chavzaust :lol: (doesn't actually look that bad in the pic (looks better than the standard pea pooper).



  • Hehe, the neighbours aren't gonna be best pleased when I'm on 6 O'clock starts but F**k em, they should get a job!




  • Looking nice, I had the same problem with my neighbours when I stuck a 3" on and they moaned like hell

    So I stuck a 4" on and an induction kit and told him to f*ck off get on with his own life which he seems to have listened to and hasnt moaned since.

    When the police came round to look at it he said it sounded great with that V6 in it and he was bored with his honda CRX, dont you love the british police force

    Class. I think the PoPo have respect for the MX3. I hear of people moaning about being pulled over for stupid things like having their spot lights on, loud exhausts, etc. I drive about with my spots on quite a lot and my sidelights have a blue tinge to them and drive past the police quite a lot and, you know what? Never been tugged once, maybe it's because I don't drive like a tit though….?



  • Just ordered a couple of things for Bert

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280499043756&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

    and

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150439901292&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

    Now, I wonder what I could do with the second item :D (look out for some "get away in a mazda" stuff soon, lol)



  • hellz yeah that sounds more beefy :D
