Check my build thread, a few pages ago I listed those measurements with my old set up on 30mm lowered springs. (So add 30mm) and will be close enough.

ONE23Q · 13-02-2013, 02:26 PM

cheers mate..... im like 10mm under the legal 100mm atm hahaha... that doesnt worry me, id rather be lower

but im looking at SL kings which are ment to drop 50mm and just want a rough idea of where its gonna sit for when i go wider rims.

project.r.racing · 13-02-2013, 04:29 PM

You dont include mudflaps and hub/suspension conponenrs when measuring legal 100mm vehicle height.

Clean_Cookie · 13-02-2013, 05:25 PM

Wasnt that ammended in November? To include bodykits or mud flaps.

ONE23Q · 13-02-2013, 06:03 PM

Body and exhaust sits under 100mm haha

project.r.racing · 13-02-2013, 06:37 PM

Depends on your state laws. So just check those first.

Alot of states are adopting the ncop. Which you measure vehicle height at the center point between the front and rear axles.

TheMAN · 15-02-2013, 11:41 AM

tightened the loose mounting nuts on the mazdaspeed rear bumper skirt and applied loctite on the bolts to keep them from loosening again

ONE23Q · 15-02-2013, 01:05 PM

Put my 18s back on to raise the car a few mm :-)

marcs_sp20 · 15-02-2013, 01:09 PM

Bought a can of flat black plastidip yesterday, so this arvo I will mask off the rear badges & other parts and get a start

HAIGHIE · 15-02-2013, 07:24 PM

JDM323 · 15-02-2013, 07:38 PM

Still trying to get my '94 BA V6 started after installing brand new dizzy, new fuel pump and all new fuses. If I knew where the fuel pump relay and MAIN relay were I'd change them too, but help is hard to find...

Clean_Cookie · 16-02-2013, 11:11 AM

When ignition is on, you should have power at the pump. Have you checked that?

djshotty · 16-02-2013, 11:31 AM

I'm not getting any fuel to the fuel rails, and after taking the back seat out to listen for the pump, I can't hear it working. All I'm after is the exact location of the fuel pump relay and MAIN relay so I can get them out and change them. It's pretty difficult to find where the 'clicking' sounds are coming from under the bonnet while I'm turning the ignition key...

TheMAN · 16-02-2013, 11:57 AM

the fuel pump relay is located under the middle of the dashboard... on the BHA protege, it is next to the ECU/centre console, below the radio/HVAC control stack

the parts catalogues show the relay at a similar location on the BA Astina

djshotty · 16-02-2013, 12:00 PM

Thank you so very much, consider it replaced...

Clean_Cookie · 16-02-2013, 01:30 PM

IIRC its green.
