hey guys,
so people have been telling me for a while that i should post some stuff about my mazda that i am very slowly building up.
so ive owned the car probably just under two years. brought is on the thought the engine was good, turns out it had low compression on the rear rotor got another engine in from japan, fitted and compression tested at 7.1
was slowly building teh car up fitting HSD MONO PRO coilovers and was slowly swapping stuff out as it broke.
had to get new wheels so got some of of drift works as the orginals just were not giving it the right look.
decided to go poly bushed and also solid mount fro Parts shop Max.
so i was daily driving it and the main chassis loom caught fire due to water sitting in it, which sucked ass. so had to buy a new daily, and try and resolve this problem, i tried patching the loom, that didnt work, so i managed to source a replacement which was extremely hard, got it all fitted and everything works again wooo!
thought while the interior was out i would get a custom roll cage fitted at where i work, still waiting on the cage and the car has been there since november. but on a plus its dry storage and also got all the rust i could fix, fixed, its now had one coat of rust epoxy mastic, need to do a touch up coat, then underseal along with cavity seals! then she should be weather proof!
other things in the pipe line are i have a garage BB wing coming from japan cant wait for this to turn up and fit it.
have some paint work to touch up where it has been sat in the workshop and people knock it :'(
once the cage is fitted i will refit the interior and look to get bucket seats and harnesses along with CADmy own seat mounts among other things, such as looking at making some sort of lower rear subframe brace as i think it may be moving :S :S
the main engine plan in all honesty is to 1j swap it, seen a few people do it and it looks like a reliable choice with lower maintenance cost than the rotary. i know people will call it wrong, or its not natural etc.
all nice comments welcome and will update when i can.
thanks for reading
