So many nice colours you can paint RX2's and 3's aye. Very unpredictable what colour you may choose :P Hahah

 

Oh I've chosen and bought the colour .. It's an original Mazda colour .. Should look pretty mean with the wheels I'm goin to run

All will be revealed in the not too distant future . . Z

Can't wait to see the color ... keep it coming

 

looking forward to seeing the chosen color and said wheels.

 

Spent yesterday at the track ( Hampton Downs ).. Our club had a meet .. Dramatic day one of the Sa22s cracked a rear plate and dumped oil all around the track then a few cars slid off... and in the same race one if the FDs had a small engine fire ... Now that created a bit of panic.

All ok though and no major damage .. The driver was a bit freaked out.

The FDs are quick and turbo sa22s not too far behind

No Rx2s or Rx3s racing in this class so mine will be the first.

A bit painful watching the racing and not being out there racing .. But got to take my Rx-8 for a nice long drive.

 

Cars look awesome . Wish we had a circuit type track close to me . All I have is 3 drag strips witch is great but I love circuit ,auto x more . Can't wait to see your cars final looks

 

Haven't done much lately due to family commitments but got some spare time today so sandblasted and plastidip'd (gun metal) some watanabes that I got a while back .. 13x6 front and 13x7.5 rears .. Just sandblasted and coated ... easy as !! So far have 1 coat on everything and that's 1 cans worth of spraying ..

 

2nd coat ... Getting nice depth of colour now

 

Another day .. Another coat .. I'm a little concerned that when the tyres are fitted the plastidip is going to come off :-/

 

Looking great. Originally from the shore myself. Used to enjoy gathering at the Takapuna boat ramp on a Wednesday night, then heading out to Albany for some burnouts and a bit of racing. Like your updates.

 

Chea, Shore represent haha. Wheels are looking sweet bro!

 

nice

 

Etch primed today! Went pretty well and another step closer to colour....

 

Sprayed the Rx-3 in 2k hi build primer today ... Getting excited about the top coat "woohoo"

 

Looking good so what color did you decided >?

 

Currently 50 shades of grey ... Not far away now, it's Mazda, earthy and celtics fans will probably like it ..

 

Hey everyone, 2nd cost of 2 pak primer today, and I have been priming all the bolt on panels which are all fiberglass. Its all about power to weight man.

So next i have to prep the doors and block everything back with 800 grit wet

There are a couple of pictures of my '04 Rx-8 as well for good measure

Hope you guys are having a good weekend

Cheers

 

Awesome work. Need you up here to paint mine :-). Look forward to the colour unveiling.

 

Just a few pin holes in the Fibre glass bonnet

 

Sweet!

 

For the love of god, when will the prep work finish! !!

All the putty work went great and its looking pretty straight, the bonnet/hood came up well. A good nights work.

Looks like the colo(u)r coats going on this weekend will be a reality.

**excite**

I wish I had your patience mr riverseine, im in awe of your detail work and supreme camerawork - whens the next episode mate?

 

Looking great

 

So today's jobs were:

Remove front gaurd indicator holes
Wet sand the body

Tick / Tick

 

So I got sick over the long weekend we had here, so that sucked ***. End result was not much done.

Spent a few hours last night prepping the doors... a bit of work to do there

















And test fit doors ...






Finished the fibreglass guards



I'm eager to get the painting started but trying to be patient and finish all the little time consuming jobs which will all add up to a great result in the end
