Update on my FC

[Retro_Boy_G]

Well, i got my car back from Craig about 2 weeks ago. Me and James have been working away on it since she came home.. I don\'t have any pictures apart from the front splitter we fitted. So far we have fitted a front and rear brace strut, lowered it on it\'s ass, new steering wheel, front splitter, ripped the back out completely, new wheels nuts and stickered her up a bit.. Just need to clean up and fit my TII seats and door cards and we are jamming. She needs a right good clean inside and out and the alternator replaced also.. biggest problem i am facing is she came back with no side indiactors and the front ones disconnected and the cables fell right into the engine bay and completely out of sight.. still have no idea at all how we are going to sort that one. If anyone has any ideas let me know!

Anyways, I\'ll use this thread to post up new pics..

It\'s not much but here are some with the front splitter fitted.

Lookin good Gianni. I\'m sure you\'ll sort out your indicator problem don\'t worry about it.

Cheers Ade!

I hope I do get it sorted.. but I have no idea how as it seems the cables have fell back right into the side arches to some extent. As for the side ones I have one on but the other has no bulb and it\'s hard enough trying to feed the cable up to the holes on the side never mind having to fit a bulb also!

[TiddlesRX7]

Well if you can get to the wires underneath, then feed a wire through the hole for the indicator to sit in. Atatch the indicator wire/plug to the wire you just fed through the hole with some tape. Then gently pull it all back through to the hole.

I like that a lot :yes

The black bonnet and the stack on the windscreen make it look like a jap street racer :Thumbs-up

[Retro_Boy_G]

Cheers dude. That is the kinda look I\'m going for.. I\'ll get some side shots when I take her out sometime on flat ground.. Hate taking shots of cars on my drive because of the slope. If it\'s a nice day tomorrow then I\'m taking her over to get the alternator fitted and hopefully get the indicators sorted. I know it will waste the front but i also need to sort out a front reg plate.. I\'m going for a 13x7 road legal one though.. Centre or off centre? I think off centre but I\'m not sure.

Need to fit my JDM y0 wind deflectors also! haha..

[dthebuk]

id deff say off centre, idealy behind the windscreen, but someone cover that with stickers :hammer

looking good! now dump an n/a 3 rotor in it and be gone

[Retro_Boy_G]

I\'d love to put it on my windscreen but I\'m sure by law the front reg plate has to be in front of the front wheels meaning it would be illegal to do it.. Thinking of getting an FC3s Jap plate made up on eBay and putting it in the windscreen.

Speak to Mazda and get the proper FC number plate holder - its moulded plastic, get it sprayed to match and it will look good :yes

Looks great BTW

[Retro_Boy_G]

Cheers Brett. A roll of no more nails tape should do the trick! haha..

[mukumu kurubushi]

an off-centre plate would look the best imo

You reminded me i also need to buy some wind guards

[Retro_Boy_G]

Well, finally got my indicators all working! yey.. Cleaned my seats last night and they will be going in tonight.. once they are in it\'s time to clean the hell out of the car inside and out as it\'s a bit dirty..

Well guys, it\'s been a long time coming.. apart from the seats and dirt this is how i have always wanted my FC to look..

Enjoy!

[Brett]

Stunning!

[TiddlesRX7]

Nice mate. I like it a lot.

Couldn\'t you cut the rest of the rear speaker turrets away though!

[Retro_Boy_G]

Thanks guys!

Ade - Yeah dude, it\'s on my to do list! haha..
