Coming together now, dash looks much better now it's black just need the white shift and handbrake boot changing. Wish I could run with the JDM plates on mine all the time, they look so much better on them.

If you are going to get the alcantara gear shift boot don't get the ebay ones, faded really quick in my 200 so got a fresh black leather one.

re fitted the front bumper to get a better fit it wasn't as high as it should be... got a MUCH better fit meaning i can lower the car a bit more and all i need then is 25mm spacers on the front and will be a MUCH better stance... thats on this months jobs along with an alarm should be at TRAX if i can get a stand pass...
 
Like this a lot, the vinyl sounds s**t on paper but actually looks really good on the car, breaks up all the black well.

I'm not keen on the look of that exhaust, think it would look better with a single exit, but then I don't know s**t about JDM coolness so I'm probably wrong.

just installed a new alarm, fitted it myself, i have been through pretty much every wire and wiring loom in the car so i know where everything is and where to connect it anyway... wired it all up... popped the fuse in for it and bleep bleep it works lol!

sensors on doors, boot, bonnet, shock sensor, prox sensor, interior sensor... going to add window roll up and glass smash sensor to it too... oh and put a solenoid on the boot for the trunk release.

its a 2 way alarm and works really well :)

tells me what part of the alarm has gone off etc and lets me turn off certain sensors etc... vibrates and does other cool s**t lol :D

fitted rear seats back in today, they cut out a lot of road noise and I'm trying to make the car a nice place to be inside and comfortable....

decided to get in the back and see what they were like lol, I'm 6'3" so its not meant for me... its possible... but not even close to comfy...

new stuff coming soon ;)

since last post, i have fitted spacers and new coilovers after my ohlins all died and getting them rebuilt was a mental price and i had to pay to ship them to japan and back, so went with some driftworks HSD's and have to say, besides the ohlins... they are the best and most comfortable coilovers i have driven on :)

Loads of places around here that rebuild Ohlins fella.. Use them for my bike shocks too.

Wheres the red seats gone?

Just read the whole thread, wasnt aware of the work thats gone into it! I love it!

Any dyno print outs?

My only criticism is the wheels, honestly they ruin it or me, fair too small and fragile looking. They look like they should be on a tiny hatchbach like a Yaris :-/

Buckets have gone, there were a pain to use, and live with and made it an issue to actually use it as a car rather than just a toy...

Ike I keeps saying with the wheels once I change the front tyres to. Some that are the right size it will make a big difference....

No printouts but we are doing some more mapping it he next week unlocking some more power so will get a graph then

Been a while since I did anything in here...

Swapped the front bumper for a stock Mazda 1999 spec front bumper and splitter, was sad to see the Rmagic go as I did love it, but time for a change....

17e173bc.jpg


Did a straight swap for the bumper, splitter and lights.... The lights were chrome and I wanted them black so I stuck them in the oven to melt the glue so I could split and repaint them black.... Opened the oven and they sunk in on theirselves :( so had to order more, now have black ones on there :)

Bumper is being sprayed this week hopefully :)

At the same time of getting the bumper I also stopped off and picked up some rx8 heated and electric leather seats in red and black :)

What a complete pain they are to fit.... The rails are like 4" wider than the rx7 ones so you can't swap them over, I had to fabricate fixtures and fittings to get them in... Sooooo comfortable but a complete ball ache to get in!!!

Got distracted making a rc drift car...

Got a rx7 shell....
