Project: Gray Death.

Ok, after a good haul I now have rare parts, and better images will be up soon as I have tomorrow off work as well.
Anyone know the MazdaSpeed exhaust for the 1.5 works just as well on the V6 ? - as I have to admit.. it sounds fucking lush.
-
That sounds great man!
Unfortunately, I'm pretty positive it won't fit a V6. There were two MS exhausts of this style, one for the V6 and one for the B5/6.
Is it a cat back exhaust? You could sell it to me if ya want to get rid, and buy Marco's MS V6 exhaust ;)
-
Oh now there is an idea :)
If they don't fit then yes, I'll sell it to you bud.
Not sure what type is yet, not looked under the car, grounds wet and I'm not changed from work :)
-
Well, after finding it's a little rusty in places.. today the great stip has started.
-
Axel stands, no there's an idea. Maybe I wouldn't have been boppin' my head off the exhaust if I had of done that :lol:
Found a bit of rust in mine, not surprising seeing as the boot seems to be flooded once again! Looks like the Lexus lights weren't sealed properly and the after market spoiler was letting in some water too. I don't know how considering the amount of silicone was under there!
Should we feel bad for stripping these JDM rarities? :oops: Meh, the money will offset the guilt ;)
-
If this one was in better nick, I'd drop the Klze into it, but its not. Dash transplant is going well lol.
-
KLZE is almost stripped and I've got a load of parts to be shotblasted and painted now.
Both bumpers are ready as well with the bulb holders setup and the AZ3 badge is stripped ready for fixing.
-
are you taking the dash out completely ? im trying on mine but stumped. Think there are a couple of screws by screen but dont have the tools to get to it, had a angled screw driver but lossed it !!.

Yup, the plastic strip just infront of the screen is held down by the same clips that the rear trim is held down by (small metal ones) then you need a 10m ratchet spanner to remove the bolts. :)
-
Mazdaspeed exhaust, & my rear strut brace have been fitted today.
Auto Climate control fitted as well, but the loom doesn't match from the 1.5 so that's on hold until I get the new AC box delivered. :(
PS: Exhaust sounds lush.

you dont half get stuck into a project lori :bigok:
-
Lori if I send you some pics I need final guidance to get dash out. It's all holding on the top by screen but I'm unsure if panel just pops off or if cap in front of drivers side has anything to do with it. Cheers

LOL.. Hell no. Balls to the wall :0
-
The video above is the 1.5, this one is the V6.
I think it's blowing a little due to using the old seals for now but that will be corrected.
-
You legend I will keep you posted!.
I'm stripping the bitumen off the floor at the mo, it's a bitch of a job.
-
lol.
Thankfully, mine didn't have any :)
-
