bit more tidying up/repainting of brackets and stainlessing, just painted the oil filler cap for now until i can afford an alu one

Pete

looking great bud.

still want that new header :'( haha i'll get there!

magnecore HT leads have finally arrived will get them in tomorrow

Pete

well thats the magnecore HT leads fitted, somewhat silly as there's only 2 of them, but fitted anyway, paid the extra got the blue ones :P, not that you can see them under the engine cover anyway

also wired in my solar charger in the sunroof into the rear interior light, and while i was messing around with things i've wired up the two front map lights to come on with the interior light too, all lights up nicely now

*reason for the solar charger, i work away a lot and as a result the car gets left standing on the road, means i can get back after a few weeks, turn the key and not have a flat battery :P

Pete

solar panel in the sun visor, just an experiment more than anything else, eventually i plan to get a larger panel and attach it to the glass rather than have the small panel in the tray, however it does hide nicely and slides out the way still, seems to be working but will find out when i come back after a few weeks away haha, shame about the exposed wiring but not much i can do considering the panel moves

Pete

little bit more work done today, wanted to tackle the water in the boot situation, so needed to take the rear lights off, thought, while i'm at it I may as well get them tinted :P

After

not heavily tinted, can still see the lights :P but gets rid of the bright red off the back of the car, i have seen some guys use the tint spray like gloss paint, but i just like the subtle effect, i didn't actually plan to go that dark, but forgot it gets darker as it dries

[img]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm79/demon10k/CAM00889_zpsb11d656d.jpg[/img]

finished effect, yes i know they are now the cleanest part of the car!

oh and got HID xenons fitted in the front, couldn't resist

[img]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm79/demon10k/CAM00891_zps7cb26b44.jpg[/img]

think i'm going to leave the front suspension for the summer when i get the front wings and header etc, and less snow...

Pete

I really like the tint on the rears with the starry blue, very nice!

got the tinted 3rd brake light to go in next, just can't be bothered to take off the spoiler to fit it for the minute

[img]http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm79/demon10k/CAM00892_zps69c77827.jpg[/img]

should look nice, looking for some LED bulbs to replace the rears too, didn't realise they were T20 so my spare bayonet fitting ones won't fit

Pete

My high level brake is tinted too. Ive gone very dark so it looks like its not there until I press the brake pedal while you're fracking about with the spoiler why not look into a stop light / brake flasher unit .

say whaa?

i have two complete spoilers, i was tempted to put both LED units into one spoiler and give it a nice long 3rd brake light

Pete

great work once again

sorry for the lousy photo shopping, but thats my plan for the back, RS6 style exhausts, or at least copy/paste haha, doesn't seem to be anything under the back end

anyone know why the BJ only has a single exhaust rather than the BA with the twin or any reason why i can't put a second one in?

Pete

Word of advice; modding the valance can be a real pig. I'd suggest doing it whilst fitted to the bumper.

That looks pretty cool

The BA 1.5/8 only has a single pea-shooter, the V6 has two, but on the same side. It's easy on the BA though to fit a back box with outlets on both sides like mine and many others - plenty of space underneath the boot/spare wheel well. The box is mounted parallel with the back of the car also, with the pipework on either side.

Not sure what the BJ is like underneath in terms of space though? The back box I believe is mounted the other way round, parallel with the side of the car, which might be why. Don't think I've seen any BJ on here with outlets on both sides (not saying there isn't, just haven't seen them if they exist).

just had a quick check on Ebay haha, and yes you are right Sloth, the BA backbox is transverse and the BJ is longitudinal, i don't think it would be an impossibility to get the piping around, just may have to be creative, will have a word with my "local" custom exhaust place, see what they say, i've not really been under the back as yet, been doing most of my work up the front end

as for the rear valance Cyntax, i was just doodling, the likelyhood is i'll cut out the section for the 2nd exhaust and leave the rest standard, that was just copy/paste from the RS6 and i kinda liked it, the beauty of paintshop, never actually have to do anything haha

Pete

Transverse and longitudinal - knew words existed to explain what I was on about

haha yeah sorry i work on ships, comes in a lot, but people look at you funny when you call the floor a deck :P

Pete

Interesting use a solar panel.... I use to have one in a motorhome to recharge the battery and work great.

well that y solar panel is just the first experiment, basically gotta have something in there for while i'm away and i'll put a decent one in next time i'm home

plan on putting a bigger one in because of the UV/tint in the glass reducing the energy to the panel, and it'll look a little more finished

Pete

got back... and the solar charger has packed up... flat battery and two flat tyres...

oh well, get the new wheels to the powder coaters next week, still need new front wings, front and rear dampers and a lot of TLC

Pete

Well good news bad news time, good news is i've got some new pictures, bad news is looks like i'm going to have to sell the BJ, new job means driving 70+ miles a day, and where the mazda is fun and practical, can't argue with a diesel for long drives, so sadly looks like she'll have to go

open to offers as she'll have to go pretty soonish, 12 months MOT and taxed until the end of the month, just had 3 new tyres, only bad point is she has a bit of a rattle from the center heat-sheild on the exhaust, not a big thing but not had time to fix/remove it

Pete

think this needs to e in the for sales section.. be warned theres a fair few in there now so theres some competition.. there will be no bugger left with a Bj soon

If theres you guys... then WHY ARE YOU NOT BUYING MY STUFF!!!!

[color=#0000BF]Coz, my misses Mk2, isn't speaking to me for spending some of her money on having the A/Con re-gassed yesterday.

In fact, she moans about me spending too much time on the car, but I told her, once she gets into it and we go for a drive, she will come to love it. But there is not much chance of that I'm afraid [/color]

Your the hardest working salesperson I know

p.s. I still have my BJ, still under 100k miles

@NXpete - what's up with the missing side indicator?

rather good pressure washer at the car wash ... got a new set to go on, just that was all the time i had to get the photo's done

Pete

Thats one hell of a pressure washer

[color=#0000BF]Speaking of pressure washers, why don't they make an attachment on wheels that could slide under the car, to blast all the salt grit off, without have to crawl under it.

That shouldn't be that hard to do, would it?
