Third down and its canadian dollars again! :lol:
-
seriously stripped :P
How ya find it? I used to love it when i had my colt gti. Was completly stipped and caged and you could hear every stone hitting the underside of the car! lol
Have you thought about maybe battery relocation and a fuel tank in the rear?
Battery relocation is pretty easy to do but is uber cool when its sat behind the drivers seat! :p
-
I want the battery behind the Passenger as it will even out weight. I have bought the Front and Rear Corksport Strut Braces, they look lush… Just got to wait for them now 8)
-
let us know what the fitting is like on the braces when you get them esp for the front. as once my swap goes ahead i will need extra support there
-
Where'd you get the braces mate? Post some photos I'm looking for some nice meaty braces myself.
-
Thanks to Micromark!!

They work out at £101 delivered to UK i think with Air Mail 7-10day
-
No bother mate. Just ordered up my set aswell.
-
Cool, they are out of stock until the 24th of this month :( so will have to wait a while….....
-
Been tidying up the doors today, the black sikaflex that holds the waterproofing on is a biatch to get off…..took 2 hrs and whilst i was at it i took the wires behind the panels in the door and neatly cabletied it all up....
From this.........
To this….....
Also here are the seats im after, just sorting out prices etc this week…They are 4kg each 8)
Here is the Strut bar (front) of the Set im buying….....
-
All lookin great as ever mate, Just thinking that those seats look really painful if that's how they'll be going into your car or is the aim to cover them?
-
they carbon seats. if so going to be a different sort of pain other than comfort if they break. no crack just shatter. ouch :oops:
-
surely if you have a knock wothy of breaking carbon seats, that last thing you'd be worried about is comfort??
-
I only ever do 20min trips so its no big problem. Ill get padding made if i need it and i will put them on polyflex seat bushes to allow a bit of movement, im not sure how it will feel but i like the look and weight of them so it must be done!!!!!
I also have some other pics to post up…..So many people on here buy the ebay rear lights but i have never understood why they dont rewire the Rear lights in paralell...I did it as soon as i got them 2yr ago!
Ring up a Mazda spare company and buy two extra Rear/Brake bulb holders with a good few inches of wire and wire them up in paralell.......Slot the new twin pair in where the Fog light spaces are and bingo! Just swap the fog back in for MOT 8)
Also you can all see my HID kit in the pics below, it is the way forward :shock: you can see for miles, except when there is 10tonnes of Sand in front, lol
-
what the HD kit set you back. with the lights i was lucky as got the car for 900 last year. it came with the air filter supposed to be 70 quid the rear light mod and full sound system tweakers dvd screens and player oo and infin bass like. so the ice was more than car.

True, they are Kevlar so wont shatter, the resin would simply crack around the fibres also if carbon as i would only buy Twill Weave 8) Kevlar is like Fibreglass but more flexible and shatter resistant…
-
learn new things every day :lol:
-
thought you would have gone for a carbon strut brace, for the wieght. Or are they not as strong as the alloy ones??
-
I want strength and The Corksport ones look good enough to sacrifce some weight. They are just bars so wont be too heavy…..Carbon ones would be expensive and for the same money you can send the extra on other bits 8)
I will post some pics up soon, lots is hapening to the car at the mo 8)
-
Looking good Tom,
Thinking about getting the corksport strut brace set myself :D
Jono

Well, its been a while since an update, the car is now stripped and the new lightweight seats are in and they are so comfortable over what i expected. I also modified my front bumper and had the wheels sprayed black and the car looks evil now. Pics coming soon…....
As for the future, i have lots if ideas...Im having the back spaceframed over the winter and having a second rebuilt (forged internals|)KLZE put in there linked up and a bulkhead behind the drivers seat welded in. Its an expensive job but i think it will be worth it. This with LSD's on both boxes will give me 4x4 and with both engines boosted should make some crazy +800bhp power.
I have no idea how long the car will be off road, im getting a second set of front hubs and getting the front brakes on the rear and the 8 pot K-Sport kit up the front. The rear window will be made in perspex to match the side windows and side scoops will be put in. Not decided on 1 or 2 Rads yet, i have lots of research to do yet but it will all be worth it. She is coming off the road soon and then the fun will begin :)
