Nice!

Nice one fluffy!

I remember reading somewhere but how much did you pay for your shocks again?

EDIT: £250, I found it Good work!

coor now thats exciting Steve!!

Don't loose those little bearings from the front there sir, and maybe keep an eye on your top mounts for a few weeks (should be OK as your not dropping too much)

dont forget to get some new spring sitting rubber x 2 from mazda for the front before fitting steven

if you need a had i should be freeon sunday or next fri

Thanks all, it is exciting!

Tonz, what is that then? Is that part of the bush? Checked my top mounts and they seem fine but i will definately be keeping an eye on them. Only a 40/30 mm drop is happening. Yup 250 for the shocks, got the springs for a bit cheaper and with fitting and droplinks and the rubber stuff that tonz mentioned this will be a lotta cash spend

Thanks for the offer Fraser mate, i have already paid to have it done, my next door neighbour owns his own garage so he is doing it as a homer. NICE and CHEAP!

its not these tonz is it??

the spring sitting rubbers are recommended by Robert (RHRH), hope he doesnt mind me sharing his words


if you have EPC, may be worth looking the part numbers up! (sorry i dont have one..)

as confirmed by mark (FPS) they are not, you can only get them from dealers i believe

cheers tonz buddy, will put a EPC request in

Good luck getting these fitted Steve.

cheers Howie, hopefully it will be nice and easy Hoping to have these done before the meet a week on sunday.

Still not lowered, the day before it was booked in to get done a new handbrake cable had to be fitted. Bummer. Anyways Ecotek valve installed thanks to Jason

Engine bay is needing a hell of a good clean up again. On the to do list anyway!

about time you did something lol

Oh i know, since the wife started her new job i havent really had time to do anything. Still spending money and have loads of parts to get fitted but its just not happening.

Lowering springs, bilstien shocks, ported and polished throttle body, de-tangoed front sidelight/indicator unit. Still have the rust to tackle too amongst other things.

not much to do then

tip o the iceberg!

Nice to see you're still doing stuff to it fluffy

The offer to help fit the suspension is still there if you haven't got it done by JAE

Dirty car with one side of the front sidelight/indicator de-tango'd thanks to Mr Woolcott

Just did one side to see the difference then fitted the other

Looks good!

You've dropped your hair bobble

eyes of a hawk Shuggers! Not sure about the amber indicators that i had to replace em with though, you can see them slightly.

Im always on the look out for hair bobbles

I cant see them

must mean the bulbs lol

Looking good Steve.
You can get silver bulbs that don't show so much.

Looks much better Steven

Yeah, get some silvatec bulbs although i can't see it much unless its the angle of the picture

Silvatec, is that the name of them! They are on the shopping list now anyway to match the side ones. Thank you all, as i said i got them from Jason as i tried to de-tango them myself and gave up. Thats the car pretty much colour minimised, just gotta get the alloys done black now.

looking good, cant believe it took you this long to put them on though?? only like a 10 minute job!

steven, I have a pair of chrome (amber flashing) straight pin bulb which I think should fit the indicator on the BA, (I'll need to dig them out from the garage after work, will confirm) PM me your addy if you want them and I'll send them to you, don't have use for them no more.

No even had 10 minutes Jason kids have been taking up almost every free minute i have

Johnny, pm'd pal!

Looks good buddy, definitely better without the orange

philips silver vision are better than silvatec in my opinion, as they have a thinner coating, and let more light through
