    Rad + the twin fans
    few pipes
    every nut and bolt I could find
    V6 wheels
    ECU + Ignition
    2 Knuckles
    Jap Space saver.
    &

    Brains on how there built, how the insides are connected + how it feels to be shunted up the rear by a driver :P



  • WOW i thought my garden was a mess LOL

    Nice work, we will be bringing all of ours to yours then, I have learnt so much by stripping a couple of others too.

    Room for another one now then :)



  • Thats my mate Rich's field, He used to race 3SGTE engines in any car he could get them mounted to :)

    That man has skills and for £30 per hour, he won't to a half-job, if it's not perfect he won't let you have the car back :)

    He has a porshe sitting rotting in that field, (The same model as in the James bond film, its a sub in the film)

    If you don't want em…..

    I'll take em!!! :wink:

    However.. I think they may be 4*114.3 PCD



  • I know what u got done today! Video's up and what u think of it?



  • DAMMIT lol…. oh it sounds so much nicer, I'd video it BUT it's pissing it down with rain atm.

    I am indeed, CATless.



  • Retractable mirrors have arrived :)

    Drivers side one fitted.

    Migrated the motor over to the current wing mirror + added heated glass.

    All Ihave to do it is wire the motor and the headed glass in to the Bongo and rear demister :)



  • Both are fitted :) and fully working, Inc the heated wing mirrors running with the rear demister :)



  • Sweet…

    I tried ages ago to do it... but the Bongo Mirror Switch acts as an Immobiliser on my motor.. :? Turn the key, car fires up, then dies... Put original Mirror switch back in.. no problems..

    Don't really know how to figure that one out... :shock:



  • No idea,

    Just looked at the bongo switch i got with it to find out what 2 wires were missing on mine & ported them over.

    Ran 2 cables from there out through teh firewall to the engine bay.
    Ran 2 cables down under each wing and into the door (behind the hinges) and back into the door with the main loom.

    it's a closed system. All i'm working on now is a system where when the engine turns off, the retract automaticly and go out on engine start.



    1. Glad to hear they worked out for you.


  • Delivery today :)

    First off teh new plate arrived..

    Looks rather spiffing, it's also on one of the angled brackets :)


    Also, the rest of the Cruise Control parts turned up :)

    Inc the rear bumper reflectors with light brackets so I can wire them up with the normal lights :)

    Going to start on the AC removal weekend with some luck :)

    Soon I will have the only Eunos Presso with Cruise Control.

    MX3's had it in Canada but from what I can find out, it was never an option on the imports.



  • Go on Lori, tearing down the bounderies of normal mx-3's everywhere :lol:

    Seriously though niceeeee.



  • I have years to get this project done and dusted, it's a long list of wants but I'm only 29 and I've only just started waiting.



  • Quick update.

    Painted very quickly the Ebay eye brows and my Wind thingys matt black to see how they look.

    The windy thigns look a lot better but I think the brows are a little to short for my tastes.

    Also, Don't spray in the kitchin :)
