+1 black will make stickerbombing it easier too, won't have to worry about little gaps standing out

Haha

My lip was sitting in my garage before it went on

About 2 months of that it was painted

marcs_sp20 · 19-03-2011, 04:06 AM

oh Im not worried about gaps, and I like to do things differently

Obviously I'd do the whole lip... but yeah that gives peeps idea's

mkid · 19-03-2011, 08:16 AM

im not that keen on sticker bombing it
i think just black would look better than that
or it might be the bright green wheels putting me off......

yes it IS 1 wire... but damn the laws of friction that 1 wire keeps snapping....

Rupewrecht · 20-03-2011, 06:24 PM

Wind some wire round a pencil , and it'll give it a bit of slack like a spring

Cosmo Dude · 20-03-2011, 08:13 PM

The wire should connect to a ring that is fixed to the back of the steering wheel. That ring rubs against a contact on the column. So the wire shouldn't move in relation to the wheel.

mynameisdaniel · 24-03-2011, 04:47 PM

Unusual request as I originally wanted a nice quiet car, but how can I make the sound of my exhaust louder? It's fairly loud as is but makes such a nice sound (for a Mazda Engine) wouldn't mind hearing it more.
Maybe a bolt on part? Want to keep the current muffler.

project.r.racing · 24-03-2011, 04:51 PM

install a high flow cat convertor.

mynameisdaniel · 26-03-2011, 12:54 PM

yeah that came to mind, until I saw how much I was looking at to get one installed

Extractors will make it louder? Do they make engine noise a lot louder too though?

project.r.racing · 26-03-2011, 01:21 PM

extractors wont do much for noise, as they have no baffling in them that suppresses noise unlike cat convertors or mufflers.
