Started to put the radiator back together but ran out of gas, typical!

[grinder]

i hope its water tight

[rob192]

Yes, that would be helpful. I\'m sure it will be once more gas is acquired, it\'ll soon be pretty obvious if it isn\'t.

[grinder]

ha ha ha

but yeah , you will soon know about it

[rob192]

Now come on, this is pretty good!

Yep it\'s a pain trying to squeeze stuff in with the PS pump in the normal high position, you didn\'t fancy lowering it I take it. What are you doing for ducting as that\'s key to a V mount working?

[rob192]

Didn\'t even consider it to be honest with you. Pipe was easy enough to chop up and put together.

We\'ve got a load of ali sheet for the ducting, not entirely sure how we\'re putting it together yet but ducting is a major consideration for sure!

[kev-yorks]

Your mounts make life a little difficult but I\'m sure you\'ll work around it.......... I\'m doing similar but with larger cooler and rad and have combined the side ducts with mounts.

[rob192]

I usually do! I\'ll post up pictures of whatever solution we come up with for future reference.

Why are people just :censored::censored::censored::censored: at life? Why?

Ring up Mazda Romford about 2 weeks to order new bushes for the rear diff, they don\'t have any in Europe and they\'ll take 10 days to come in from Japan, I give them my card details and he tells me the payment has gone through all fine.

I check last week and they tell me yeah mate they\'re on the way all ordered we\'ll call you when they come in. Surprise surprise I don\'t get a call this week so I call them up this morning and they tell me actually, we haven\'t taken the payment, we haven\'t ordered your parts.  

How hard is it? You have one function in life, I call you and order parts, you place the order with Japan, I collect them. He was apologetic but I\'ve now been sat waiting for parts for 2 weeks that haven\'t even been ordered, properly shafted my timeline that has.

Rant over :censored::censored::censored:

Make up for this mornings balls up at Mazda

Beginnings of rear arch rust repair - literally the only bit of rust on the whole motor.






Tyres put on the wheels









Front arches rivnutted on - you\'ll notice they\'re a bit matte at the moment, they came in a gloss black finish but were textured which looked utter :censored::censored::censored::censored:e, they\'ve been sanded down smooth ready for paint.

Those wheels are awesome! What are they? Love those arches too

[rob192]

Thanks dude.

Wheels are Centreline Auto Drag 15x8 ET-19 15x10 ET-38. I think. Centreline something or others.

[rob192]

Wheel fitmentings. By the way, is this car an FC3S or FC3C?
