No offical rebuild yet. Just puting on parts at I have lying around. Just getting the car drivable.

Ice88 · 21-09-2011, 02:32 PM

Sad to see the 323 had an accident. Given the amount of money youve invested be sad to see it go

project.r.racing · 21-09-2011, 06:04 PM

Look race induction holes! lol not!

Got motivated to replace the Chuck Norris damage from Lakeside. So RHS guard got swapped also.

Oh, i thought it might have been your driving style, i chuck norrised an mr2 on the track once, but i came off second best.

70NYD · 21-09-2011, 07:16 PM

Good to see it's back on it's feet

project.r.racing · 07-10-2011, 11:29 AM

Finally getting refund from Justjap. Only took 31 days. Cannot say I'll do business there again.

Clean_Cookie · 07-10-2011, 12:38 PM

Great!

marcs_sp20 · 07-10-2011, 01:03 PM

Good news, are you gonna give coilovers that Troy/2XS can get a go?

project.r.racing · 07-10-2011, 02:35 PM

Troys are no good as no camber tops.
YSR if mx5mania will return emails.
K-Sport I can get for $1200, do I like orange?

Clean_Cookie · 07-10-2011, 06:33 PM

Matches the rest.of the car

project.r.racing · 02-11-2011, 06:59 PM

Put on new headlight and indicator this afternoon, (thanks Catherine).
And beat the crap out of the bonnet with a hammer and cardboard to put it back into shape.
Now have a legal drivable car now.

Clean_Cookie · 02-11-2011, 09:37 PM

Forgot I have 2 looms and lights I took from the wreckers for you lol. Oh well. My bad. Hopefully those clips arrive soon from China too. One day I'll visit and pickup stuff!

project.r.racing · 27-12-2011, 09:15 PM

Sold both the 949racing 6UL wheels and Maruha F-cams.

Now looking at Enkei PF01 15x8 +35 wheels as the support big calipers. And Maruha F-cams for NB8A 88-00 MX5 with Mazdaspeed Motorsports Devolopement solid buckets and Supertech shim under buckets.

wheels $1050 shipped
cams $850 shipped
buckets $200 + shipping
subs $88 + shipping

Next is to complete the Wilwood big brake kit and paint the ghetto multi coloured car.

lovely project R

project.r.racing · 09-01-2012, 01:05 PM

Got half way through the coilover swap.

The rear kit has one of those swaybar bracket setup that screw up and down the damper. Which means at a minimum, it sits 75mm higher on the damper than the regular bracket. So now i need end links that are longer than the standard endlinks.

More waiting.

project.r.racing · 09-01-2012, 01:05 PM

So the end link bracket is normally in line with the top strut feet bolt hole. as you can see, it is not much higher on the strut.

Also has a 12mm hole, not a 10mm hole like stock size.
