[Evilist]

Haha i can see you have a wagon now! so awesome

Havent done much in the last two weeks uni work has taken over, but lucky its the end of the year so I can work on my car full time now

Only done a few small things like paint my wheels and clean up my car haha (pretty slack)

[derb]

I love that car dude. I just wish you were in Brisbane so I could ogle them in the flesh.

[NaughtyGT]

Haha, all your fault But I luv these babies. That white BF keeps reminding me of the one I let go. Stupid stupid me! Was the most exciting lil' car I have ever owned. As much as I luved my MX5 (if only it was in better nic) the BF had far more character. You must enjoy your brood

[Evilist]

Haha thanks guys just a couple of pics, bored today so i washed it again. My dad borrowed it and drove on a bad farm road lol got all dusty

[Evilist]

new camera so hopefully get some proper pics of my car over the next few days

[Evilist]

Haven't been on in a few months, uni took a lot out of me and not having much funds meant no update, but I did work on the red BF

Removed some rust ALOT of it still has a few places to do but the worst is gone now, interior back in, but the rear seats will come out for roll bar or cage(undecided to weather I should keep it road legal or just make it dedicated track like I intended to 5 years ago)

Installed some 5 stud Mazda 626 hubs and the 626 rear subframe, the Ksport GTR adjusties had to go trough some changes but I got it working in the end, Now I have about 30mm more track and it means I can have a few better wheel options. I cant remember if the RX7 ball joints add 15mm or 20mm to the front but don't know if I actually need it or not.




since the new subframe I need to do some fender mods cant wait for this to be done


the front end is rust free, next mission is to get the motor out and paint the engine bay hopefully I'll have that sorted soon still have some things to change in the bay, weld in some brackets for the intercooler and radiator, just waiting for my merge collector to come in the mail so i can start on the manifold. I should then know where things can sit.

After all that I can get the motor cleaned up, I have been looking at MS2 or 3 for it just cant find a place that sells MS2 here in New Zealand and I don't have the patience building it myself.

And another worrying issue is my Civic radiator I got for it, I have a bad feeling that is way too small for this motor, might just have to make it work dono lol.

sorry for the ****ty pic


Also bought some 16x7" rims last night so i can start on my fenders gonna be wide as. Just gotta pick them up

[Evilist]

Not much done to the white one just maintenance and keeping it clean removed the plastidip in my wheel lips

[z100]

Wheels look a lot better with the silver lip and black. Going to make it more permanent?

yeah, been thinking of doing gold with polished lip but not fully set on it yet

[Evilist]

Took my tail lights apart and cleaned them polished them, also sanded off the lettering on them reaaaaaally happy with the results! Also installed the louver thought might as well its cool its different, don't see them anymore.

Still want some decals some original XG-I ones but doubt anyone would have some images of them or even a brochure

[Evilist]

Got sick of having ****ty suspension issues with the BG hubs so decided I'm going back to original BF hubs on the rear and running larger 626 ones on the front like i did originally this setup was the best so far and it means that I could run almost any shock on the front with no issues.

I got some pretty close to new shocks and dug up my old hubs, bit rusty but they are still good.

Going back to this look and if i can sell my rims and tyres for a good price I'll get some nice proper tyres for it


Looking trough the wreckers today I found this head deck been looking for a period correct head deck, this one is original 80s BF one plugs straight in etc so cool works nice too


After this is all done, I want to sound deaden my boot, fix a few rust issues in there and get some dynamat for inside

[Evilist]

Been a while since I was last on here I no longer own a 323 anymore I bought myself a Mazda 3 BK sedan, and have a special project that was a rare find here in New Zealand.


Ford Bantam 1988

Started by stripping back the paint to bare metal so see what rust needs to be fixed.


I Should have it fully stripped back in the next two weeks, currently looking for a trans tunnel so I can bolt in a rear axle and diff for RWD goodness. Thinking V8 for this one or rotor cant make up my mind tho

[Evilist]

Rotor or V8 suggestions?? cant decide

[Rupewrecht]

Kl-ze!

[Cosmo Dude]

Rover V8 so you can look cool in your sports jacket with the leather elbows when it breaks down.

[Evilist]

Been working hard on it nearly everyday


I decided for an FE3 with RX7 gearbox MX5 rear end and Skyline or Silvia front subframe etc. I still have my T3/T4 turbo from when I wanted to turbo my red car so hopefully this time it will become a reality lol.

[Evilist]

Not much done lol, been so busy with work. Did manage to fix a large amount of rust. Ended up buying myself a new compressor so be able to do some proper work now

and bought a new Daily

[Mad Mat]

i that mps??

[Evilist]

SP25, I bought this instead of the MPS. Had a discussion with the dealer and the new MPS is coming soon so once that's out I'll trade this one for the brand new MPS. Its really nice to drive fckin love it

[Mad Mat]

is it a manual or a paddle shift auto?? my mum has a sp25 with paddle shift auto. its awesome hey..
