Marco, please be so kind to post a how to supercharge thread please please please, my mate reckons you can't fit the supercharger in between engine and radiator, prove him wrong!!
-
thanks for all the feeback! Inspires me to get it done and more videos :)
@ mx3gulf, haven't I proven already it fits? :lol:
Sure I'll do a wee how to, once it's working nicely… :)
-
That sounds amazing Marco, looking forward to more vids :D
@ mx3gulf: Unless I'm mistaken the supercharger is in the place where the air con compressor goes, that's where mine is (air con compressor not supercharger, I wish lol!)
-
exactly! You can see it at the start of the video. I'll get some clearer stuff info soon :)
-
Any chance you could put a write up on the Brake upgrade in the How To section. :D

yes please :)
-
done! I recommend looking through the original guide too- there's a way to get subaru calipers on too.
-
Just a quick phone photo of it is now :) Supercharger is fun :D and the noise is insane! Bigger pulley required though…only on like 1psi :lol: Videos to follow!
-
Looks smashing! Get a JDM front lip onto it and it'll be perfect! :)
Changed back to the Supra spoiler?
-
looking well marco
need some vids

Changed back to the Supra spoiler?I have a genuine JDM lip, but it would require butchering it to put it on, I'm not sure I can do it :lol:
And yes by popular demand the epic wing is back!Cheers Welly, will get some videos up soon.
-
yay supra spoilers back on
-
Got to love the Supra spoiler :D
-
very nice!!!, get a carbon fibre lip or even better a carbon fibre mazdaspeed front bumper and she would look stunning !!!!. :D

carbon fibre bumper would be about a grand…
lips would be around 250 - 500
Carbons not cheap stuff.
Mooneggs i think it is has wrapped alot of his struff

I'm thinking of doing the brake upgrade while I have everything off.
Is the 323 spindle the same as the mx-3 one apart from the caliper bracket mounting holes?
Are the bottom balljoint hole and track rod end holes in the same place?
Is the offset the same?
Just want to make sure its not altering the steering/suspension geometry in any way.

cant say i havent thort about carbon fiber wings and ally dor frames with carbon or fiber glass skins

In terms of geometry it is very very similar, with no apparent negative effect or detrimental difference. My car does need realigned after putting them on, but I'd liken that to changing to another mx-3 spindle- no 2 parts are exactly the same. Even just stripping and rebuilding the same parts can alter alignment a little.
Haha Garfy, I nearly bough a MS front on ebay, but foolishly let it slip by. They suit the FMIC setup very well. I'm exprementing myself with CF, very tricky to get flawless finish though!
Thanks for all the comments! :D
