Well chaps the FC lives for another 12 months after just passing the MOT :D
all hail kev-yorks for his outstanding effort in this matter :D :D :D
Stu
**** yeh! thats what we need to hear mate! congrats!
Nice one :Thumbs-up - I\'ve got mine in May - need 2 new tyres to get through, and maybe some welding.
Be curious to see if they fail it on the lights this time :2Rolleyes
It\'s good to see the FC count is staying up - quite depressing when you see all the ones on ebay that people are breaking for spares - still keeps ours on the road a little longer :3gears-lh
thanks for the replies chaps :D
and yes it does live to fight another day :D :D JOY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
quote ,,,,.. from this>>>>>>thanks for the input guys
i know its worth more with the MOT - but im happy to price that into the sale of the car
this was like the final nail in the coffin to be honest - im really disapointed ..

Excellent news stuart, i\'m glad you are back on the road again, get some miles clocked up in it this year to make it all worth while, i may even try to get to a meet over your way in the near future......
Fantastic news, now its time to get some mods done to it and make sure you take heed and actually start using it more often !
Well done kev :god
Shaun
i love kev !! - he is a great man :D :D :D
im sooooooo happy to get her back on the road
just need to get her taxed and insured now ( more bloody expense )
i have been thinking about the tuning side and speaking to a few chaps - and im not going for power anymore ( YET ) - i need to get the handling sorted - so eyes peeled for some suspension now !!
no point going fast if it wont go in a straight line eh !!
Stu
Great news about the car. Glad you\'re back thinking positive.... :)
i suppose this is all part of being an FC owner - we all MUST go thru this
here are some pics ( in no order really ) :

Well done that man/men, now go enjoy it! :cool
tis all good now !!
just need a clutch and some suspension sorting out - then i can look for more power mods :D
Hey good result. Looks like Kev is Mr Mazda of the month! It is a good looking car Stu and i am pleased it didnt get broken up. Now I think you will have to drag it down the strip at RSIII a whole stack of times!
Just pleased fo ryou that it worked out for the best.
cheers, michael.
it wont be going any where near a strip with the clutch like it is :(
^^^^^You\'ve still got a month.... :cool
good on ya for keeping it going.
you have two rx owner experiances,one minute your down andthe next minute your up
you may as well have the other rx experiance and empty your wallet into it. :rollin
hope to go up against you at rsIII
if i can get the clutch sorted its 100% going down the strip - just need to sort it out
and yes - i have a month to do it in :D
im hoping to see a few TII\'s run at RSIII - even if i dont
and t2rew - im not racing you - you would white wash me !! LOL

maybe not. i should change my gearbox but ive had enough working on it and now it time to drive it. cant change to second gear quick. it just jams up.
go on
spend spend spend
ha ha ha - like i said just need to the get the clutch done and we laughing
i keep looking at the 6 puck ones - but people say they are crap - but wont say why ?
any ideas matey ?
i got extreme pressure plate and exedy organic friction plate running more power than you but no probs so far. plus point is its got the same feel as a stock one.
six puc suck :Giggle in traffic. very on off
i was speaking to the people in USA and they say the 6 puck are very on and off and rip your flywheel to bits - so im not going with that to be honest
i have just been offered a clutch from someone else on the forum - just trying to sort out the deal now
RSIII 100mph COULD be back on :D :D :D
Did you lot do any kind of waxoyl treatment after you\'d welded everything up?
the car got one litre of underseal with added waxoyl
this took me about 1 hr to apply
the sills got about 7 - 10 coats EACH and the rest went on the main chassis legs , and anywhere that i could reach
the underseal and brush cost me £4.48 - so its worth doing - makes it a LOT easier over a pit though :D
Sounds good, When are you lot going to do mine? :rollin

Stu,
Give super Kev a ring, he sourced my clutch etc and its good for what ever I wanna throw at it, the firm he uses are absolutely top notch they know their onions. They spent a few good weeks doing setups and adjustments before I even got it fitted. Kev will tell you, the bloke wouldnt put his name to it until he was happy with it and I gotta say its brilliant :Thumbsup!
