i agree with the rear lights. the front lights will be staying on mate. i like them. each to there own and all that.

 

I do not like the headlights or taillights, but I can't argue. Thank you for saving this car.

 

The car was lying in a field crashed since 2007. I've always facied one so this one for 500 quid wasn't too bad

 

Cool project, any updates thus far? How are you going to repair the quarter panels; are they welded to the body like the s2k/miata or are they replaceable w/o cutting them off?

 

looking good, thats a ton of work....

 

the rear quarters are welded on, i will weld on tabs and pull the dents out, i will then fill and paint, the side skirts and rear bumper cover some of the dents etc, i need new doors though. its been a while since ive had a play. ill get back out there on sunday to get it started. ill put a video up thanks

oh and the black smoke is from the fuel (2007) 5 years old


heres a few bay pics

 

Why would you start a car on 5 year old fuel? Especially the non knock resistant rotary.

 

Because I've never had it started before mate and I was losing interest until I heard it run. It has fresh fuel in it but obviously it's mixed with the old stuff

 

It was all going so well until those pictures of the rear end . I thought this style died out years ago..

 

Love the underhood pics!!

 

cant find a standard one mate!

 

thanks buddy

 

while it was running i heard a exhaust leak coming from around the turbos, its hard to pin point the actual location. so tell me is it easier to replace the gasket of go single turbo? haha

i bought some wheel bolts, bumper quick release springs and new bonnet pins

 

bit of an update,
skyline has sold to my friend peter sidgwick. this will free up some time for the mazda.
bought a huge single turbo. (turbonetics t62-1 ball bearing, ceramic coated, .96 hotside p trim etc)
i will let the pictures do the talking

 

and a few of my friend danne's supra and my skyline

nicee addig quick release's to my bumper has been one of my most favorite mods.

 

stern schmiede r16s?

 

yes mate, BUT 1 got stolen from my driveway. infact it wasnt even the whole wheel it was just the center! *******. please tell me you have a spare that i could buy ha

 

LOL, I was gonna ask you if you'd sell me your center caps! (lost all four of mine)
Hmm, maybe you could lend me ONE until I found suitable replacements (or maybe you could measure one for me?)



love those wheels, and I don't think anyone has them in good sizing. mine were re-lipped.
