The BOSE system that came in my Type X was just a rebadged Clarion. Clarion made the system and they were just giving the Bose name. Hope this helps the mystery.............cheers Leigh.

Sorry for not getting back to you Mixter, hav\'nt been able to get on here for nearly a week. Been so busy at work 7 days a week and all that. Anyway I see Dave has come to my rescue. Thanks for doing the pictures Dave.

The car looks nice and rare to see a UK spec version, hope you get on ok with buying it if you are still going ahead with the idea.


Hi Dave yep long time no see, I hav\'nt been to any meets for ages local or otherwise. The car is still off the road, yeah I know what a nightmare. Hope to see you sooner than later...........cheers Leigh.

Hi Mixter, I live in Southampton if you are really interested in this car let me know and I could go and have a look at it for you. Maybe take some pictures for you as well. Let me know what you need.........cheers Leigh.

7.0JJ is the width of the wheel, you should look to fit at least 7.5 front and 8.0 upwards on the back. This will give you better options with tyre widthv etc. HTH..........cheers Leigh.

Taken some time ago but this should give you an idea  http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12882  Can dig some more out sometime this weekend if you like this was taken a couple of years ago at one of the shows.......cheers Leigh.

Sorry mate cant remember the price of sideskirts alone. Bought the whole bodykit in one go abpout 3 years back straight from Japan. Cost over a grand to fit it but looks good a blended in with no seems showing:mmmm ......cheers Leigh.

They look the same as my side skirts Teighto, mine are R Magic I had mine blended in so they look nice and smooth........cheers Leigh.

Teighto you can buy power steering leak fixing fluid from most places like Halfords etc. I have never used the stuff myself but when I was buying a new battery a couple of months back for the wife\'s car I noticed it on display.

Not sure how good it is, if your leak is to big it may not work but if it does work it could be a short term fix until you get a new pump etc. The place I saw it for sale was Kimber Frictions they sell good\'s at trade prices even to us the joe-public. Hope this gets you going short term.......cheers Leigh.

It is not illegal to have a hand flare in your possesion, but if questioned by the boyz in blue why you have one I expect they would like a valid reason. The flares usually disappear during transit so you would be lucky to get one still in the car.

The company I work for buy and sell flares, smokes and para rockets. They hold the distribution rights for all Hanson pyro products in the UK. Having been on an ADR course myself, I would not advice using any out of date pyro products at all. Believe me I have seen the damage they can do to people just in pictures alone. Not very nice sights. If you get one be very careful if you let it off......cheers Leigh.

Thanks for the advice people, looks like there\'s lot\'s of sanding down ahead of me. Better get going as soon as poss.........cheers Leigh.

Sorry people I know this one has been done too death:) . But I have finally got around to painting my dashboard bit\'s, after sanding them down nicely. I have a couple of questions, is it best to apply a primer first?. If so should the primer be suitable for plastics?, regards flexing/cracking issues.

Or should I just go for the main top coat colour first?. Also where would the best place be to buy the paint\'s that I need, should I just go to the nearest Halfords or look at proper paint suppliers?. Just out of interest as well how many coats of laquer should I apply, or is it just down to personal choice?.

Hope somebody can help me out many thanks..........Leigh.

Leave it black mate, the contrast of colour\'s looks good. Glad to see my neighbour\'s old Rx7 is in good hands keep up the good work......cheers Leigh.

Geff at Reworx is close for you Teighto, just down the M27 to Hilsea. Failing that Tim at RXmotors down in Dorset.........cheers Leigh.

Hello again Teighto, I had a Toad system fitted a couple of years ago with all the c/locking etc fitted at the same time. Cost me 470 quid, this price may have gone up as it was done in 2005. Anyway the guy who fitted it is based in Bishopstoke so is local for the Soton area. The company is called Jordan vehicle security. Website //www.jordan-vehiclesecurity.com  give him a shout and he will go through all the options with you. Can highly reccomend him as he was very quick and did a good job. Also his number is 07789638777 hope this is stiil in use as it\'s his moby number. Hope this helps mate.......cheers Leigh

Same colour as yours Teighto, mines a type x. It\'s not going very far at the moment as it\'s in the back garden while I do some bit\'s and pieces on it. Mainly cosmetic stuff just cant seem to find the time to get it all done, been doing 7 days a week since xmas time at work. Had last weekend off for bank holiday but as you know it was tipping down. So rain stopped work:Grrr . I am in Bursledon area by the way so if you need any advice on the car etc feel free to give me a shout.........cheers Leigh.
