Will do Luke, I got the idea from Matt/RED3VIL off OMC, he's done the front doors in his 3, and well going off the below pic, the look awesome!

Im guessing you got the led's that go between the headlight & bonnet? Applio on here sells them, I did at one time consider getting them for mine, but as I already have eyelids, there would be no need for them..

No Mazda parts in that setup - Yes for Stinky, 330mm with twin piston nice big calipers. Just fiddling at the stage - not 100% happy with the caliper location

Added a small thing to MPS6... Silver to match the paint...

mussing · 18-01-2009, 02:45 PM

Gave the car a wash and wax yesterday, and (finally) put the rear door trims back on after sound deadening the doors. I wanted to rotate the wheels too, as there's more tread on the rears than the fronts, but I realised I couldn't because I don't have anything that fits the wheelnuts.

marcs_sp20 · 18-01-2009, 06:48 PM

Gave the 20 a much needed wash, seeing it had been neglected for a good 6 weeks...

Also added a blue zoom-zoom sticker that I got for free from Matt/RED3VIL. put it just below the back wiper... matches well with the plates

Cheers
Marc

karamello · 18-01-2009, 08:16 PM

replaced my headlight, washed it and put other interior bits and pieces i got from the wrecker

Rupewrecht · 20-01-2009, 06:24 PM

Pulled out my radiator and dropped it off, to have a custom 40mm aluminium one made up.

I'd be interested to know how much that is setting you back, as I'm looking to do something similar. PM me if you dont want to broadcast the $ amount is.

Cheers.

Around $600-$660. Will update that when i get the final bill. A damned sight cheaper than the $880 PWR wanted.

DVS · 20-01-2009, 08:29 PM

put in my clear side indicators dunno if i like them yet though :s

Pettos · 20-01-2009, 11:47 PM

I was the same with the indicators. They grow on you.

Those door LED's look sweet as

... for a bigger turbo ?

oh wait, isn't 40mm thicker than standard?

Dogo · 21-01-2009, 09:15 AM

I de-rusted ( attempted to ) my exhaust manifold and filled a hole that had been drilled in it with Q-Bond.

Q-bond comes in the form of a fine powder and a glue. Once hardened its very very strong.

I just hope it stands up to the heat. Says its resistant up to 180deg.

The other option was muffler putty, but I felt more confident that the Q-bond wouldn't come off over time.

STILL waiting for autobarn to get in my Royal Purple gearbox oil , and for Ford to get in my new hub nut.

27mm is standard.

Mostly because one of the end tanks was cracked, and i'd always been meaning to get a better one.
