Hey Edpro...how did you do your headlight setup? That looks pretty sweet!

 

That is the boarders kit.Really don't want to talk about my car this is Mazda2ndgen post just posten pic of shaved sides.I think vtekeater was going to do it shaved sides also.Pictures don't do them justest seeing them driven down road they look sweet like that.But any how keep up nice work Mazda2ndgen.flippen coins if I want to mess with mine any more

 

go right ahead, post more pics! we should make a shaved trim post, hehe. your right though, the cars just look soooo much better in person withough trim. I love the look of your car! the hood, and the front end!! One of the reasons i did my car was b/c i saw a picture of your car on the forum several months ago, and loved the look of the shaved trim!!

 

Thank you mazda2ndgen I remember when you started yours.Looks good in black you did nice job panels are nice and straite.Had error on my hood got water under fiberglass on center scoop.Will wait till spring to do anything now new design on hood will be top of list.Paint change thinking about black with dark blue fading into it.If you haven't seen all the pictures of it heres the urlmore pics

Ill leave that up for a couple days
Take Care

 

Hmmm, skyline type lights in the back, well dual circles at least, I still don't like those one bit but seeing how its your car and not mine ill shutup about em, but besides that your car is nice as hell. Nice bodywork and bodykit. What've you got under the nice cowl hood?

 

daym, ur car is pretty tight. i think it would prolly look better with a wing over the rear glass, like here: http://www.v8rx7.com/tom.htm. pls post when your going to sell your custom intake and for how much, thx

 

OH GOD!! I drool over this car, just curious, anyone know where it went? and if the side moldings turned out good in the end?

 

buuuuuuuump really want to know what happened with this car.

 

very nice work, next time though so there is no scrolling left to right hit up some photoshop and re-size those pics big boy, a minor complaint if you can call it that, or you can just call me a lazy bastard anyways good job

 

bump

 

Back from the dead!!!

 

Maybe you guys could dig up an older thread? Wow.


This guy hasn't posted since April of last year.

 

there are several types of fiberglass reinforced body filler out on the market, one of which is called Tiger Hair, and another called kitty hair. Youll probably have to go to a body shop supply store to find it though. Its incredibly strong, like the stuff he used, its got strands of fiberglass in it, and, pardon the comparison, looks like a hairball that a cat coughed up when its in the can. I work in a body shop, and we use this stuff to fix broken and cracked fiberglass parts on cars. Like he said though, its extremely hard to sand, I would recommend 80 grit sandpaper to shape it, then hit it with 180 grit to take the deep 80 grit scratches out. Finally, smear a light coat of glaze over it to smooth it out even more, then primer and paint. hope this helps......

 

Sorry to drag this back again, don't think this guy's here anymore, but this is a super-sweet car.

I was talking to Guru re. the air intake setup. He said he's known a couple of guys who've done it, and that it resulted in blown engines. Why?

I'm thinkin' it was either silicone or some other ***** used in fabrication getting sucked in, but I don't know if silicone would blow an engine. Maybe if ya did it nice, fabricated with aluminum or steel, with a lil' scoop up top?

The only other thing I could think of is that maybe the AFC heated up too much from the exhaust/manifold below, and that decreased AFC output voltage resulting in some kinda lean out...

Or maybe the mad psi's you'd be ramming in there (high pressure area) overwhelmed the NA ECU?

Really wanna do a turbo swap, but I'd wanna do it *right* and funds are short with school, so I'm gonna do/learn what I can for now, have some fun...

 

all i noticed is that you live next to a cop...

 

sweet job with every thing dude.

 

Hey man, im having lots of problems with my cooling system and i want know where you got your radiator and how much it cost. Thanks.

 

Nice car, what digi camera did u use for those pics?

 

where's yer charcoal cannister now?

 

wow, back from the dead again folks--check the original thread date (2 yrs ago).

however, there were a couple of threads recently talking about an FC w/ the side mouldings removed. This is the car they were talking about...
