It's a Type R style knob.

02-KQ-LASR · 10-12-2009, 02:28 PM

that makes a lot of sense then! lol
how much did they cost on ebay?
mine i think was like 40-50 bucks...

chicaboo · 10-12-2009, 02:44 PM

I think they are $45+10 [from NZ], but you can make an offer. Marc was cheeky, and got his cheaper than mine, but had to wait long tiiiiime.

Exhaust is fixed up!!!

they basically put a new flange on, redid the hump over the axle, cut and re-tigged the tip on (as its now closer to the rear of the car as it use to be close to the trail link) and redid the hangers

All up cost me $103, which I deemed pretty decent, and best part there are no more clunks or bangs from the rear of the car!!

marcs_sp20 · 13-12-2009, 08:26 PM

Took some piccies after I washed the car this morning

after the cruise today, the car really is very nice & quiet to drive

project.r.racing · 13-12-2009, 09:38 PM

Looks good. Your are parked illegally.

marcs_sp20 · 13-12-2009, 09:46 PM

I dont think anyone would have minded on a deserted loop role at 7.30 this morning

marcs_sp20 · 05-01-2010, 05:52 PM

These baies arrived this morning, quite quickly they left sydney yesterday morning!

They are 35w H7 4300K low beam HID's, wanted to have something a little brighter, while not bring attention to myself, came out to be $110 delivered, and the quality speaks for itself!

Hopefully I'll have time during next weekend to fit them up, as I am yet to take the bumper off & put the headlight bulb bracket back it...

Also, my rear wiper upgrade should be here within a week of two as well, then its clutch & mounts time

02-KQ-LASR · 05-01-2010, 06:09 PM

you get your car sprayed where you scratched it??

marcs_sp20 · 05-01-2010, 06:20 PM

nope why?

more important things need attending to rather then paint

They are called priorities

marcs_sp20 · 11-01-2010, 01:14 AM

had a bit of a setback on Wednesday

Yep, not gonna happen, the pastic has deterioated and broken, so I reinstalled it...

Next thing I decided to install the HID kit, got the drivers side wired up and working, then went to wire in the passenger one, and have found out the ballast is a dud

So am now taking it apart, and repacking it...

not to worry, the ebay seller is going to replace the ballast without having to send the whole kit back, a relief as one is already in and working!

Reason why I left one in was to test it out and compare the lighting between the two bulbs, which I did last night coming back from the Gold Coast. All I can say is that they are well worth it, as it really did light up the road!

And as far as taking headlights out, im now considering doing the blackout mod in the not so distant future

Also this week i'll be getting everything prepped under the bonnet for painting again, going from blue to gunmetal, and also degreasing the whole lot too!

Update soon

marcs_sp20 · 12-01-2010, 09:03 PM

Here's a close up on my farked headlight

did some half assed paint job on the engine bay parts, looks 100x better then it being all blue, I dont mind how you can only see part of the still blue rocker cover

I also added the mazda badge I bought months ago too, a little too big for the cut out, but still looks the goods

02-KQ-LASR · 13-01-2010, 05:40 PM

i want that engine cover!!!
looks good btw

marcs_sp20 · 13-01-2010, 06:45 PM

haha cheers mate

project.r.racing · 13-01-2010, 10:14 PM

much better than 80s retro blue.

Mad Mat · 13-01-2010, 10:47 PM

aw HELL YER Ryan

Brisbane_boy · 13-01-2010, 10:49 PM

i think it might need a can of degeaser marc!!.
looks good mate. are you going to repaint the rocket cover?? looks a bit funny to see the blue still

marcs_sp20 · 13-01-2010, 10:56 PM

Needs more then a can, and that crap at supersh!t dont cut it

Will see if I have time on sunday though, will see.

I actually dont mind that you can only see just a little blue, breaks it up, but might end up painting it black. if I cant find another cover go I may get it polished or chromed, but as said, not a priority
