Shop Visit : Oldschool's Heaven Round 2!

Guess what? I went to scrapyards again! Since the business is running good, Im spending some of it for Bee's parts. And again, the mission was to find a pair of fenders, but other items were found. LOL~ The first scarpyard is located at Chan Sow Lin area but there's no Mazda parts there. Sigh.

So, where else to head? We went to the previous scrapyard and were hoping BIG that there's a pair of the fenders. Hahaha. Arrived, Jaguh saw a bulk of meters which we didnt see it before, and the search begun. What we found was :


3 sets of Mazda 808 speedometer. There's more but these three is enough. We asked the boss for a price and he gave us a good price. I put it aside and search a few more stuffs.

And the next stuffs were the tail lamp. Yes, I dont need it and I'd said it but I found out that some of the RX3 were using this tail lamp. So why not? And the second tail lamp is tagged as Mazda 808 parts. And I were shocked coz I never saw this tail lamp version. We checked it out and it belongs to Toyota. I guess someone had custom fit it to 808. It is nice but I dont want to take any risk during fitting it. Anyone knew the tail lamp is from what model?


And an emblem. This is from the square lamp grille version. The boss didnt want to sell it separately but after a few bodek-ing, he sold it to me BUT the dirtier one. Nehh, its OK. It is VERY VERY cheap for this rare stuffs.

Arrived at my home, Jaguh helped me to disassemble Bee's current tail lamp. And trying to fit in the shrout. We'll do it another time I guess as we arrived at my home quite late.

Uhh, I guess my room will be a store soon. 2 in 1 room.

So, my new stuffs are the tail lamp. Will refurbish both tail lamps tomorrow I guess.

A new functioning meters. I guess my RX-Z speedometer will be a history soon.

And the 'M' emblem.

That's for today. Will update the DIY restoration soon. Stay tuned.

Video : Rotor Modification.

Just check out the last part of it. Kinda interesting isnt it? Jaguh need to master rotor engine soon! Im interested with rotary engine now.

Random : Rough Idea For Future Bee.

Was browsing the Internet and found out a few good looking Mazda 808. And I think there's a few stuffs that Im interested to copy. Hey, Im not a copycat! Just wanna have something different on Bee.

The first one is the black bumper on the yellow 808. Looks like my Bee too! XD And the plate number on the left is a good idea too. But a steel plate will good even better I guess.

Square tail light and the bent muffler. Really love it. You can usually found it on a Mazda RX3.

Anymore ideas? Jaguh please comment~ Interested with the tail light? Hehehe.

Shop Visit : Oldschool's Heaven!

Today I went to a scrapyard! Yay! A new achievement in my life. LOL~ Anyway back to the story, the mission was to find a pair of a god-damn Mazda 808 fenders. The scrapyard was located somewhere in Ulu Yam. Yep, that's very far from my house. And of course Jaguh was with me. Before we arrived here, we saw a few Mazda 808 on the road. One at a chopshop and the other one was at a workshop.

We stopped at this two location. The first one, we asked the chopshop tokey but he said its not his and I already tought of stripping a few stuffs on the car since every badge and etc is complete. Nothing was missing. But the tokey advise us to came back in 1-2 weeks time to see if there's an owner to claim it, or otherwise Im willing to tow it back to somewhere. Hehehe.

Second shop? Well, it belongs to an uncle. Hargh, again dissapointed. So after a few calls for a direction, we arrived to this scrapyard, which I already forgot the shop's name. Hehehe. And if you asked me, this is a HEAVEN despite everything there were messy, not in order and kampung theme.

Gearbox anyone?

And it was raining... Fuh, it was like in a movie, a horror one. So, we asked the boss for a 808's fender, and yes they have it! Went to the location, and dissapointed again. Yes, they have it. ONE piece and rusty. Chet.

Again dissapointed, we went to see some tail lamps. A few pairs of 808's tailight. I was very tempted to buy the rectangular tail light for 808, but there's no point of me buying it since my tail light is still in good condition. So off we went to search other stuffs while Im thinking a list of stuffs that my car doesnt have. Was looking for a center console but they dont have it, and a few other stuffs that I found was:

Driver-side chrome lining.

A shrout for the radiator.
Very rare find! A pair of vented thingy for the rear pillar.

Another rare find was the skyline rear panel! Bought it for a Kelab Kereta Lama member.

A gear set for driver's side window complete with two lever.

The cost? More than hundreds for all these small stuffs. Expensive? Yes. Am I satisfied? Yes! Why? When I bought my Bee, everything that I did with her were an adventure. It was like putting back together many pieces of Lego. One piece at a time. I dont have this memory with my Getz as everything is complete, just upgrading the looks.

Well, we'll go to another scrapyard next week somewhere in Nilai or in KL. Thank you to Jaguh for accompanying me today.

Photography : Autobots, Reckon.

Nothing to do today, and my neighbors were asking me to teach them to drive a manual car. So off we go to a nearby empty car lot.

I rarely shots my own car. LOL~

First driver? Ok Ok but still need more improvements.


Second driver. A bit clueless on the clutch and more wheel spins.


I wish there's a 13BT inside the engine bay. Hehehe.


Rest time. Broken plate number again? Yep! This is the third time!



My turn. Handling is OK, but the steering box didnt response as good as steering rack.



Manage to get it sideways, but I think the car need more proper treatment on handling.

Wanted : Mazda 808 Fender.

As per title, Im looking for a pair of Mazda 808 front fender. Hopefully the condition is OK. If there's a rust, I hope its only a surface rust. Plz contact me at 012 72 3345 4.Give me a reasonable price and courier cost to Cheras,KL if cannot COD.

Thank you.

Amar.

Random : She's OK! Not!

Looks like finally Bee really is going to be bungkus this time. Was about to start the car this evening when I heard something weird bout the exhaust note. Sounds like a Boxer engine! Which mean, one of the pistons is not moving right? Already checked all the cables and yet it still doesnt solve anything. Har har har.

So what Im gonna do now? Short term? Overhaul or just go for a replacement engine. A cheap one. Hmhm. Anyway, as Stan's request, here's a pic of Bee today; with the damaged engine. Emm, Banana looks great in front without the flare. Need to slammed down too. Maybe next week for the rear. Front, I can adjust it anytime. Till then, see you again Bee.
