project MX3 Turbo.

[Teknomaz]

Thanks Man, please do plenty more to come from me

guess they got overshadowed by the mx-5 a bit and were not a all out cruiser like the mx-6, somewhere inbetween is good though. its crazy how much you can push this motor into and out of the corners... she loves it!

quick preview here of the windscreen washer tank I've started,
next to the smaller power steering fluid res.

Had a little bit of spare time yesterday. So I decided to see what the fitment was like on these skirts, better than expected! so minimal prep hopefully...




Will start work on the wing tips asap and get them off to the painters soon.

works been a bit slow recently as its winter time and I have no garage!
Been mocking up for the skirt shark fin though:

Finishing off the water bottle for the windscreen:

and been checking out how to mount down low.

I like the pink in the engine bay i wana do that when i get my Mk3, and nice work on the body kit

[Teknomaz]

Thanks ChristopherJason, I got the paint code from here : http://www.ralcolor.com/
so its RAL 4010
215-045-109 #CF3476
Telemagenta on the rocker cover, I think it will work even better once the bay is painted white along with the whole car
Incidentally I have with help from a standard height MX-3 worked out my ride height to be -90mm.

Took the pan into work this morning to cleaned it all up with paraffin,
and the airline, pretty nice inside considering when I picked it up it been outside!

So this is the proposed guard mocked in cardboard and I will start the real thing next week
at work made from 2mm stainless steel or Titanium if I can get hold of some.... shooting white sparks anyone?!
Plan is to tack weld 4 nuts to the sump then attach the guard using M10 x 10 bolts as I dont trust our polish welder not to put holes through as he just loves using to much heat!

Im hoping this sump will fit straight up to my block...

[Teknomaz]

Bit of a setback to the project after a strong gust of wind blew over our old bathtub right into the car..my own fault really for not setting it down straight away, so s/h red wing on its way
and contact arch enemy again to come out.



Is this right or wrong I have never seen a proper sump guard before to know whats what!
does it need some vent holes or anythng...

[Teknomaz]

Turned out to be the wrong pan! got a new correct one on order right now...
picked up this 1/2" union to drill and tap into the sump for the oil return for the turbo
which can be bunged for now.

and also a 90 degree just incase I need it


Flipped the rear lower coilover mount round to gain more lows, just waiting to hear on some camber plates so i dont grate the sidewall again.


speaking of which i picked up my new tyres. 195/45/15 Goodyear Eagle F1's... fappin good tyres

I always imagined if these little things had rotary motors in them. Anyways it's looking good
