    Been out and about...
    Haha Ferrari is actually the first thing that came to mind when I saw it on the new wheels. I meant the small light below the headlight, I was assuming that was a turn signal

        Pity it only has the power of a Ferrari power steering pump though,lol Guess that should be my next priority! Ar yes that is the side light and indicator unit, for the turn signal I actually removed the amber flasher bucket and fitted a chrome/amber bulb instead, you think it would look better amber again to match the side repeaters?!

        Thanks Dude, lucky I never put yellow centre cap badges on eh!! think I got my fitment good now never did want too extreme stretch/camber etc, wanted to keep sympathetic to the design still, this could be a Classic one day?!

            • If that was rear wheel drive I would own it in a second. Looks great so far tho, Much better than what moat do with an mx3.

                Cheers, yeah I would not mind a bit more low as the new wheel/tire size has raised it a little, would take more stretch or camber though, I don't got money for that right now.

                Yeah a RWD one would be the ultimate, if only Mazda had made it so just like the RX7 of Miata I bet they would of sold a lot more. Cheers though.

                • Love it man, it really came out slick with the new wheel setup. I noticed the foglight pods in the front bumper? Do something with it! Run them as hosed front brake cooler ports. Or foglights. Don't leave it plastic, it will add more character and complexity to the front end.

                  • Unusual project-base, well executed. Most dope MX3.
                    Medium-low...

                      Cheers man, over the moon with new wheels It took a long time to make those perfect elipses to fill the holes left by the fog lights so they are staying as they are, done the whole brake cooler vent thing before, not worth the hassle tbh.

                      Fell in love with the lines of this car and its rarity in the scene, thanks dope is cool

                      Last picture from me for a while, got about another 4 other projects on the go right now so the car will have to go on the back burner for a bit.

                      • I think some camber would be pretty rad on this.

                        • Oh yes me too, my plan is to use RX7 front ball joints as they are slightly longer and slot the rear hub bolt holes and use serrated flange nut and a wedge piece. Should give -2 all the way round, Hoping I can go a bit lower with all that installed

                          • Well after driving a few weeks it really would benefit from some rear camber, really happy with this shot so thought would share

                            • Loving the idea of same camber in the rear. Any thoughts of shaving that front turn signal underneath the headlight?

                              • Yes I have often thought about relocating the sidelight/indicator into the headlight to free up that space for either blanking, a CAI vent or even an LED running light strip.
