dude - that is stunning! ;o)
Nice subtle mods, great paint and bodywork by the looks of along with a rather tasty ( and rare ) set of weds, in what looks like v good condition and ( more so than usual ) desirable widths / offsets.
slimline side skirts will look great - rivnuts FTW on that front ;)

lovely in black just like mine but yours is defo a bit cleaner
hope to get mine there some day

FD Dave

wow iv never seen them rivnuts before,im guessing you drill a hole(roughly 6-8mm) insert the riv nut and then bolt the skirt to them? whats the best way of getting a watertight seal with these as i will worry about water getting up into the body? also surely the head of the rivnut wont allow the skirt to sit fluch to the body?

Looks similar to mine very nice, I got some feed side skirts and 18s, if your wondering what it looks like check my pictures

Quote from: FD Dave;760791Also im after a set of rear upper, outer bushes if anyone can point me the right direction?seen a set of powerflex ones on ebay for about £45.

Powerflex don\'t do those bushes, that\'s a pillowball bush you can only get from mazda, though I think Atomic Rex are doing a replacement.
Nice looking car:Thumbs-up.

FD Dave

the pillowball bush is only on the front, im talking about the rear mate, found out i need a new one of these today which aint gona be cheap. Its got a knackered solenoid which is whats causing my drop in boost pressure.

Is your car in limp mode? If not then that solenoid box may not be th cause of your problems dude.

FD Dave

what do you mean by limp mode? iv already ordered the box mate as reworx checked it over and diagnosed it to be the problem so took their word. I can hear the solenoid clicking in and out which is causing it to dump the boost.

thanks john lol.

I would call them a damper/shock absorber bush so as not to mislead people.

FD Dave

the shock absorber attaches to the lower wishbone?
