Random : More New Toys.

This week's project is ready to go! Main project is the DIY gauges panel. Here's some materials, a drawing board, an empty plate number, gauges, and etc as shown.

Some rough sketches on the drawing board. Old school vacuum meter is fitted here.

New replacement flare from PlayHouse Garage. They accidentally gave me a pair of right fenders only, so they gladly replaced it. Good attitude seller and the fenders have been sanded. Why? Will fit it back becoz..

Just got myself a pair of Wedsports! 13' only with 7jj and -1 offset. Hehehe. 7jj is the reason I took it.

And a bee figure. LOL~ Will remove the spring and replace with a mounting cup and rope. Where should I place it?

DIY : My Dream Wheels!

I saw this rims few years ago and I had kept in my heart that one day I will buy this rims no matter what. And today, despite my car desperately need a body work, I bought the rims. Of course whenever unexpected purchase occurred, there's always Mok as a financial backup. Thanks my dear.

:D

Anyway, what is it? Its the banana rims or the real name is RS Watanabe. Its always had been my dream rims. So whats the big deal? Well, it might not a big thing for you, but it does to me. Hehehe. Only 1pair, but I think it will look much better compare to my current rims. Will put it in front soon. 13 inch, 6.5jj and uknown offsets. Told ya, its common.

My traditional routine whenever I buy a new rims :

Its here~ Anyway, it belongs to Mok, not me.

Was trying my best to clean up the rims.
Then dried it up. Again, Im using AutoSol to shine the lips.

Tape up the lips so that I can paint the center tomorrow.

I feel great today! XD

Radiator fixed & AutoSol time!

Just took my car from the 'keeper' yesterday. I didnt leave my car at home nor at my college.

Radiator had been welded, service and painted. Looks good BUT the temp is still rising. Any idea where else should I check? Water pump is still working according to Mr. Jaguh.

AutoSol time. Did it with the help from Mok.

'Mazda' wording at the grill had been highlighted with paint marker.

Unfortunately, the rain fall down. So gotta stop first. Just finished front and rear lip only.

Front.


Rear.

Emm, muscle enough?

Emm, finally; my last day at home. Just arrived at my hostel. Sigh. Kinda miss my Muzda already. Hehehe. Geram coz a few minor stuff didnt manage to settle yet.

Met with Josh last night to pick up my rims. Bought the rims from Jeyaraj. Very patient and good attitude seller. And cleaned it up in the same night. So this morning, go to nearby tyre shop to fit in the new rim. Looks OK, but as usual, more problems encountered~



So here's some pics on Stanley's request!
(p/s: Will be getting a used 808 speedometer soon. Me and Jaguh also cant stand to watch the RXZ speedo..Hahaha)

The problems? Here it is!

Stud toooooo short!! Need to go to Jeembo's this weekend to change to a longer stud. Problems only occur for rear rims.


And of coz, with offset and wide rim, fender will be eating the tyres. Damn~ As expected, so will refer to Jeembo also to roll the fender.
