project MX3 Turbo.

[Teknomaz]

Yo got my Brocks with some 215/40/16 tires, something is still off with the fitment though! Its not flowing out the arch yet, I dunno I'm thinking 205/45? I know bit more lowz too :P and those center caps need to be blacked out as it looks well chunky munky in the centre of wheel!











The tires are all goosed anyways so they'll be off soon so I can rub a dub down and gold enamel these,
one wheel needs a spot of decurbing on the works turning lathe.

Also scored a nice bargain bailey twin piston Evo dump valve

This...

reminds me of this.




Just saying...

Keep up good work!

[Teknomaz]

Haha quality I love how this keeps getting compared to more expensive machinery even though in essence its just a grocery getter, just a sexy one at that...

[Teknomaz]

No love for the fitment yet?!

[Evilist]

love this car man, I'm not usually the one for MX3s but this one just looks soooo good

have you considered a V6 conversion or an FE3?

[Teknomaz]

Cheers for the car love Bruv, appreciate it!

Yeah I did consider the ZE conversion, but engine conversions are nothing new to me and sometimes
you know they just don't run right once you take them out the donor car, plus they are juicy 'ol engines them 2.5's!


Adjustable wastegate actuator bracket pitched up from Oz. this morning, and fits perfectly Im happy as postage costs were outrageous!

3SGE 315cc Toyota MR2 pink top injectors bought. Part no. 23250-74080.
Will want them to go for an ultrasonic clean before installing though. They are plug & play on the Miata, so here's hoping!



Just the downpipe flange and clutch to buy now and then the kit is ready! would of had the clutch by now if i didn't keep buying wheels hahaa

Mx3

Hey those rims u have I wanna put some like those the ones I wanna buy are 15x8 they won't hit with my mx3?

[Spuey]

looks awesome on the brocks man!
195/45 or 195/40 and some camber to get it flusher for sure!

[Teknomaz]

Wheel refurb. started as I'm back at work I could use the turning lathe to
sort out one of the edges. Could of done with some weld filler, but our welder
might have gone back to Poland for good! So I just made do with emery cloth.




Next stage was to remove all the wheel weight and associated goop with a wire brush drill attachment.


Then onto a 80 grit flap wheel to remove old debris and brake dust.


Then a final going over with a scotchbrite wheel to remove the shine from paint
and a good wash out with hot soapy water, then flushed with plain water from the hose.


Next step Paint!

DON'T Paint the centers caps please!!! they look dope as is!

Have to disagree, maybe on Euro boxes they work better with a chunky center, but this car has too many curves for that, plus a black center will really bring out the spokes.
Bagged these nice alu. MS center caps to go in the middle of the bolt cover.

Man don't see many of these at all anymore nice work.

Thanks Dave yeah she is a rare beast, especially being this low & good looking I love it!

Hey those rims u have I wanna put some like those the ones I wanna buy are 15x8 they won't hit with my mx3?

Im running 15x8 ET 15 with 195/45's and with rolled fenders they don't rub.

looks awesome on the brocks man!
195/45 or 195/40 and some camber to get it flusher for sure!

Thanks Man, should look good when painted and on with new rubber. 195 on a 9J is too much stretch though for my liking, 205 is the minimum I would go, hoping with a bit of camber I can run 215.

this car is coming out great man! i love it! i always think of them as mini probes. Going to be following this build for sure, can wait to see how it comes out!
