Just an update to work ongoing, I have fitted my JDM eunos high level brake light and just waiting on 2 brake light bulb holders to arrive then I will be re-wiring the rear lights to have a dual rear light and dual rear fog light in LED bulbs and will wire that up when I have it all together

I did try fitting my new RS spoiler but the hatch garnish was so brittle it broke into 4 or 5 parts just carrying it to the car when I got the rear spoiler off. So I now need a new hatch garnish Evil or Very Mad

I have a new sunroof panel to fit as mine has rust spots, I have a new rear bumper in A1 condition and some wind deflectors in my shed all to fit in august.

I have found a solution to the crap number plate plinth that mazda made as thin as possible.

I have fitted the number plate mount from a MK2 MR2 that cost me £1 from my local scrappy as it looked very similar. The mount seems to make the plate lower and is half the thickness of the MX one and is very strong and to finish I fitted a pair of brookstone chrome number plate surrounds.
Only problem I found is that the plate being lower means it pivots on its mounts easier so I chucked a couple of tiny stainless screws in the top corners of the plate and this cured it

Hi again another update.
I fitted a new rear bumper I found on a scrap equipe that is almost mint

I bought a massive EVO style spoiler just for the garnish so that will be up for sale soon but I fitted the garnish today and then fitted the RS spoiler on top of that and quite happy with the results.

Next job is remove rear lights and reseal them, then wire up the high level brake light and do the twin rear light conversion and double fog light to balance it out so I should have 4 round lights on side lights when I get it done

GARNISH

RS SPOILER NOW APPLIED

The RS Spoiler is a thing of pure sex.

Nice work buddy.

Got quite a bit done today, a service was in order so I have just fitted a set of bosch super 4s, new 5w 30 fully synthetic oil and new oil filter.

I took the rear lights out and properly resealed them with sikaflex 227 to stop them fogging up and tried drying as best as possible.

I have now done the twin rear light conversion and will be posting a how to very soon as its quite easy to do. I am fitting a new sunroof very soon and will be doing a how to with that.

I have fully changed the rear lights over to LEDs and fitted the bits I needed to stop the LEDs freaking out because the low draw from them.

Anyway heres a photo of what they look like

The twin rears come on with the lights, the brake lights work normally and now I have twin fog lights on the rear too.

Looks good, although I do not see the point in the twin fog conversion. It's a quirky mod but pretty useless really considering the time it must take to do it? I think a twin brake light conversion would be a better idea Cool

Twin brake is completely possible but you then have a major problem with the fog light, issues with cross wiring and when you turn the fogs on it would lead to all 4 brake lights being on permanently unless you fitted the eunos high level brake light and wire that to the fog cable. Its not that hard to do that conversion.

The whole conversion took 30 minutes total

Had another boring day at work so did a major job today that turned out to be a lot easier than expected.

My sunroof panel had the dreaded rot in it that a lot of MXs get and was lucky enough to have found another Equipe being broken and sunroof was like brand new so I have changed the complete sunroof unit so I now have no rust in the bodywork. It took just over 2hrs working on my own

I will upload a how to very soon
