My project Log



  • 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.



    Just a little brighter lol



  • That other one is super dim, I bought some standard 501's from a local motor factor for 32p ish each, theyre bright, could post you some if you want



  • The other one was a quad LED ultra bright one I got off fleebay, the other (bright) one is a 12V 20watt Halagen one that runs so hot it melts the bulb mount lol

    I got it covered :)

    Replaced all of them with 12v 10 Watt and everything is all golden.



  • so the ultra super mega collossal flood light LED bulbs arent worth it then?

    mine are only 5w>>>

    (didnt want to post an image directly into your project page, would confuse people :) )



  • @46f545909c=Jesta:

    so the ultra super mega collossal flood light LED bulbs arent worth it then?

    Nope there shit..

    I'm going to stick with 10w in teh side and rear quarter panels, will see how 10w with the night nights tomorrow.



  • Due to lack of work and therefore lack of funds.. shit stopped.

    Tho now, it started back up.

    Items picked up:

    Eunos Floor Mats.
    MX3 Floor Mats
    Yellow Foggies
    Mazdaspeed Rear spoiler
    Wraparound Rear Spoiler
    Side Skirts
    JDM Front Lip
    Lexus rear shit lights.



    The car is now stripped as well, just a dash and 2 seats, not even the carpet under the seats. (Tho this is just to clean it)

    I've looked at the wraparound and I really disliked not having the gap between the spoiler and the garnish, so I put the Raised one back on, tho the biggest kick in the teeth was if I wanted to use the Mazdaspeed, I'd have to lose the raised one as well… and to be blunt, that's not going to happen.

    So both might go on sale again soon.



  • can you explain that last paragraph again, i dont get it, id be interested in the mazdaspeed one though
