[Mazda_Powered]

ok here's a better pic of what i see when i sit in the car haha, gauges are a bit too far to the left in this pic...you get the idea

[FE3-323]

i like the guage placement some...... but i also don't like my cluster shrouded/blocked in anyway im picky can't wait to see more

[Ace]

That gauge placement would make me ****ing rage.. lol I'm gonna do air vent mount or where the power mirror switch spot is.

I wonder if he's tall and can see over them clearly.

[DeeAOne]

if i remember right hes not much shorter than me..and im 5'10. i think he was shorter. lol idk.

[Mazda_Powered]

i dont need to see over them tho, so there's no real problem, haha, i drive pretty close to the wheel, short legs, but i'm 5"9 haha.

Cut the front bump stops a bit more, then installed the rear coilovers as well, that went pretty smooth once i found a lock nut...car is probably 2" lower, but i'll measure tomorrow haha.

also chris came by, damkid, went for a ride in his Fastiva, damn thing is scary fast and he knows how to drive it haha, it was a fun ride. thanks again chris

[Damkid]

No prob jack!! And when we went for that little cruise around, well, I just couldn't help but race that cavelier lol I'm just glad no cops were around lol

[Mazda_Powered]

ya no **** man haha, that was nuts.

also i've got pics, but my moms laptop doesn't like my camera lol, so i'm trying to get them up.

Too bad your not closer. turpro and i saw an almost mint white 94 hood at the JY last weekend. Had a spot of rust but was perfect otherwise.

[Mazda_Powered]

ah damn...ya i'm pretty sure i'm just going to spray the hood black once she's on the road, just til she's able to get painted...figured it'd look better than blue.

no updates really, getting back to the car on friday, hopefully can borrow a drill so i can install the EGT skirts on the car and the Accord rear lip i found at my friends place haha.

Going to grab the Accord front lip too, see if it'll fit onto the stock LX bumper, decided i'm going to sell the Isuzu bumper, I'll just run a modified stock bumper, keep it clean, save up for an interplay bumper or something sexy...

[Damkid]

If you need a drill I could come up with my cordless one and give ya a hand installing the skirts

[jinx]

I think you should follow through with that bumper why not cut the top off of it to make it a skin? and then just graft onto a cut mazda cover?

[Mazda_Powered]

i'm still on the back burner with the bumper, 93_EGT just sent me a pm with a nice link to connecting bumpers together, so i may do that next year when she goes in for body work, but for now it'll just be the oem front and rear bumpers with lips and the rear plate in there too lol.

chris, sounds good man, i'm coming back to london on friday. so if you're not busy on the weekend you can swing by for sure!!!

[Mazda_Powered]

well found my usb cord, so i can upload some more pics, most are just randoms.





just picture it with 7" wide rims with a big of a difference in offset



here's showing how close the TTLs are from being parallel after she was lowered on the coilovers.
