There are scratches but i used some t cut and auto glym to get rid of the worst of it , if you look closely you can see it but from a distance it looks ok , need to find a better way of plugging those holes tough

[DennisTheMenace]

It was then i put OE back on after one of the KYB's died , its currently on 10AE Bilstiens , want to lower it again though and get the geometry done

It's the cig lighter

I'm going to leave the sills black for now as I'm trying to keep it as original as possible. I've got the original steering wheel as well but prefer the slightly smaller wheel for everyday use.

Its going into Freelance Mazda in Kent this week for a new clutch (is 88,000 miles good on the original clutch?) and service tho. Heard there quite a good garage to go to

Tis nice to see an unmolested standard mk1

[DennisTheMenace]

It is , there are a couple on moonrakers , they have the 90bhp 1.6 engine .

Congrats. Awesome bit of kit, isn't it? I'm planning on getting some lowering springs and a WIM alignment done at the end of the month, it is meant to completely transform these cars.

Its awesome, i will get it set up by WIM at some point, im not to worried about ride height, its got the bilstiens on it and the roads round here are shocking, so i will keep the comfort side for now

Also converted the front fogs to use them as DRL's, could do with being brighter though.

bought a set of Impul R1's, need to refurb and stiffen the suspension...

[DennisTheMenace]

After doing a check on DVLA it looks like my Snot rocket has been scrapped. Utterly gutted, as when we decided to stay in the UK i contacted him to say give me 1st refusal if he sells. Gutted.


R.I.P Snot, you were a blast





got some awesome rooter tails along this road

a few of the snot rocket i took today

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve done a PH visit and it’s been 8 years since Snot was sold as at the time I was going to move to SA, and unfortunately I’ve discovered he has been scrapped

After quite a break I decided to replace snot, but I think I’ve gone and done it a bit wrong.....









I’ve kind of swapped pop ups for a few extra cylinders..

Yes I could have got a Z4 which is apparently better, but there was just something that clicked with the Zed, and sideways is so fecking easy
