DILLIGAF?: Project Ratty
-
So, took a trip down to North Lincolnshire last night to go see my folks and have an early 30th celbration (11th of May guys! ;) ).
This weekend coincides with RSCS at Lincoln Show Ground so I thought I might pop along and see what was happening, so Saturday morning was spent cleaning the car out of dog hairs and playing with my new toy thanks to my beautiful girlfriend, a car polisher.
The results of using a powered polisher compared to just good ol' elbow grease is immense, it's just a shame I made the trip down the A15 only to discover it was going to cost me £20 so I could look at other peoples cars for about an hour, I would have paid it if I hadn't have turned up at 4pm and planned on staying for longer but I just turned back and went to the pub instead….

Jebus, that looks minty clean now! :D

Cheers fella. I can't tell what it looks like on the pics cuz I'm on my 'rents PC with budget screen that has a funny blue tinge to it but in reality it's, as they say, "blinging!".

I'm hoping to get a lip sorted out from our good man Ryan and I would love to get an exhaust sorted for it soon too to replace the dirty pea shooter but funds are tight at the moment :(

So I've got back from Lincolnshire and I've decided to set aside a plan for Bert. It's simple, clear all the annoying bits about the car that I hate at the moment and then next year get to work on it properly.
So here goes in order of what I want to do, so if anyone can help out please let me know.
*Front bumper (no damage as mine is ratty as hell!)
*Nearside front wing (no damage as mine, erm, is)
*V6 splitter (any colour but preferably black)
*New window seals all round
*Exhaust system (or a decent backbox!)
*Lowering
*Performance HT leads (red)
*Braided Brake lines (blue)
*Bigger brakes and discs

Cheers Fam, they were the exact ones I was thinking of too :D (or Goodridge).
-
Goodridge are a hair more expensive and have zinc fittings as standard - the stainless ones are another £10 on top. Cheapest I've found was Demon Thiefs with a discount voucher and Probestore.
-
Cheapest goodridge ones i found were £48..

I've been trying to get a box big enough for shipping but have been having a bit of trouble getting one. :?

Fold cardboard around the actually lip and tape about 4 black bin liners around it with address taped on, how mazota one was recived

New Ignition Leads.
Thanks to the ford probe store(www.rocspares.co.uk) and Mark for his help.
These puppies have given Bert much better response and start up. I have had to modify them slightly as they did not have the dust covers for the tops. But a much needed addition to the bay, just need to get the silicone hoses for the rest of the bay now, massive filter/induction kit.
Edit:
Now with numbers and dust covers (bodged on :lol: )

which air pipe keeps coming off?

The one arrowed here:

I'm hoping to get my Chavzaust fitted next week so I can finally say goodbye to the embarrassing rotten pea shooter and also have a better sound to the car :D
-
Just so people know. This is the Chavzaust :lol: (doesn't actually look that bad in the pic (looks better than the standard pea pooper).
-
Hehe, the neighbours aren't gonna be best pleased when I'm on 6 O'clock starts but F**k em, they should get a job!
-
Looking nice, I had the same problem with my neighbours when I stuck a 3" on and they moaned like hell
So I stuck a 4" on and an induction kit and told him to f*ck off get on with his own life which he seems to have listened to and hasnt moaned since.
When the police came round to look at it he said it sounded great with that V6 in it and he was bored with his honda CRX, dont you love the british police force

Class. I think the PoPo have respect for the MX3. I hear of people moaning about being pulled over for stupid things like having their spot lights on, loud exhausts, etc. I drive about with my spots on quite a lot and my sidelights have a blue tinge to them and drive past the police quite a lot and, you know what? Never been tugged once, maybe it's because I don't drive like a tit though….?
