My project Log



  • 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 :)








  • I like the work tops, over spray is underated but i think your over half will not agree :lol:



  • @Lori:

    brows are a little to short for my tastes.quote]

    lol at overspray, ooops!, the eyebrows do look abit more like eye lashes :D



  • Make the eybrows better by glueing paint brush bristles to them, I have not even opened the box mine came in. LOL

    The work tops, just lacquer them now :D



  • @d4e195af4c=djmarcopolo:

    Make the eybrows better by glueing paint brush bristles to them.

    It does make the car look a lot more girly :(

    Overspray 4TW tho :)



  • noo it doesnt, it looks good, they need colour matching though. They will look a lot different when done.



  • Nice day today so did a little work

    Started ripping apart the rear wireing..

    Removed the rear parking sensor, The trim, lights, and shortened the wires ina few places.

    Also, patched in the rear bumper lights as running\side lights.


    Got a set for the front bumper as well:)

    will whip up a better pic when it gets dark :)




  • There we go.



  • sweet !!



  • Using the import guide..

    Manufacture date is 09 August 1991 Year (1991.08.09)

    Is my car the oldest on here??



  • Well after the snow :(


    Came a little work.

    I've cleared out everything from the rear seats back now and prep'in the area for a little project.

    In the mean time,

    Picked up some off side light bulbs at a random shop near me the other day, gave them a try.
