project MX3 Turbo.

In prep for deleting the washer jets on the bonnet i tried mounting them in the wiper cowling.
It didnt work so now ordered some wipers with jets in them, but did change over the wiper tubing to lime green silicon stuff and added a one way valve to keep water at the jets.


also just cracked out the yellow tyre pen for a bit of a motorsport/f1 look. I dig it just needs another coat.

Will get them ordered in the next week or so and get them prepped for paint.
Also bagged these uber rare headlight protectors and completed a clear indicator mod.

by opening up the light and removing the orange flasher bucket, so now using a chrome
amber bulb.

sounds good.. Looking forward to the skirt

[Teknomaz]

Thanks they are the simplest ones I can find, so yes they are readily available, however the have a vent near the rear which will need flushing over.


I would like to fabricate a little piece like this maybe though from aluminium.

[G535]

These skrits looks great! Are they available somewhere or are you planning on fabricating them yourself?

[Teknomaz]

Ok not a huge update for now as I'm laid up for a couple of weeks after a back op.
But I have sorted out loads of little body bungs that are currently @ the painters
to flush the aeriel, boot and bonnet washer jets ( bonnet washer jets to be relocated to the wiper cowling)



..and a little bit of virtual modding with these side skirts
I wanna fit along with some custom rear quarter wing tips.

...and the work goes on! , 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....

For real and if I had the dosh I would love a white paintjob, these cars look lush in white!

Ok a little bit more shaping of the blank this morning
then I had a M10 x 40mm allen head bolt welded on.
Luckily found some quick drying enamel paint at work
which turned out to be nigh on a perfect match.

be nice too see another mazda done up like dudes white one in this thread

So here is my idea for delocking the boot. I punched out some 36mm blanks in 2mm mild steel and concaved it on the rear to fit into the hole left by the lock, then it will have a nut welded/epoxied onto the back of it it so the blank can be bolted on from inside the boot, its going to be painted red so from a certain distance the boot will appear smooth and saves messing with filler & rattlecans!

The obligatory " ground clearence" photo:


Bit of good news is that our driveway has now been refurbed so I can get the car back on the hardstanding outside my flat and starting working Her again, with some more lowness on the front, new 4" tailpipe sniper exhaust backbox, a boot hatch delock bung plug which Im going to machine and have painted along with removing and blanking off the rear washer jet and aerial... then it might be ready for some photshoots....

[Teknomaz]

Aye you cant have it all, but I guess thats what the miata & rex are for..Nowt wrong with FWD in a strong chassis like this, has plenty of grip!
I know of only one AWD conversion and one more soon to be in the making using some 323 parts...

Yep needs bo000ost something chronic, missing it....

[Ifield]

Such a shame these are wrong wheel drive. I really dig this, will be awesome with some boost

[DeeAOne]

Was thinking Garrett T3 if a vj23 proves too difficult to find...Yeah a BP would of been nice, but alas quite rare over here. Can get rods and piston spray bars quite easily though and coilpacks could be on the agenda at a later date if I have the inclination. Is it that a custom TB setup you have? One thing I would love to make fit is the SR20DET ITB's+plenum, thats just a pipe dream really though.

That's just a picture I found off another forum in a Mx3 that's over here in the states. I have a KL in my 323.

Don't we all wish we had ITBs. lol

[Teknomaz]

Hellz yeah it loves the twistys bit like my old 205GTI but without the LOOS!
