havent updated for awhile as i have been really lazy lol but since loosing my license i have:
painted interior bits =]

installed the CF lookalike surround around the gauge (which has a broken temp needle)

painted the raised lettering on the engine cover as i thought with a red engine bay a full red cover would look tacky with a rear mazda symbol instead of the sticker.

got around to placing the astina gt stickers on the quarter window

finished adjusted installed and fine adjusted the new projector headlight (tonight i got the high beam working in the projector too

ordered my 21.5 mm swaybar kit and chamber kit for the rear, and fog light tint covers.
and am waiting for the carbing strut brace i bought off rupe to arrive fingers crossed for tomorrow

oh and i have finally decided whether to turbo or keep N/A and decided to do some small engine work and keep it N/A first up trying to find light weight pulleys =] then will be cams

SP-20-DB · 04-08-2011, 08:46 PM

marcs_sp20 · 04-08-2011, 08:50 PM

When money isnt a problem, I may have you pull apart & do some projectors for me, as im prone to breaking things

i would get the projectors but tbh i have no idea wtf i would be doing... I'm just not that kind of technical person when it comes to cars! I could probably install the actual bulb and thats about it

Ice88 · 06-08-2011, 12:21 AM

You can get pulley kit from SR motorsports dont think PG stock it anymore. Note that they are underdrive pulleys as well as light weight. Id prolly stay away from underdriven accessories.

Ive also read that the 323 crankshaft is balanced which means that light weight pulley shouldnt cause any problems. TBH id double check this though otherwise you risk oil pump dieing etc.

Ben · 06-08-2011, 11:41 AM

Why do you have a air horn on the floor?
