Half? Um... not sure but will do more this weekend and the rest will get done while I'm a holiday

Yuss. Next round of container stuff arrived

well it's just the Ohlins really so I guess it's kinda disappointing compared to previous posts

^ +1 for that

Damn, all that arrived for me today is a piece of carbon kevlar that sits above the radiator... Will definitely be posting a photo though since it's super sexy

Just rebuilt my shifter with parts from miatamecca, also added good quality oil in diff and gearbox/turret. It has made a big diffrence. Well worth doing

I am bitterly disappointed in myself for only now noticing the awesomeness of the background pic in harlansmart's post.

Back on topic tho' my sexy sideskirts arrived and I spent a while cleaning them up ready for their trip.

the mazdaspeed stickers on the inside have some interesting digits printed on them tho'

2.97.06 2.1

anyone know what they may refer to? I assume the 97 refers to 1997?

Had this week off work so I painted up the wheels I bought recently on TM and put them on, along with different mirrors (jury's still out on those), GV lip and painted windscreen surround.

Damn your mx is cool Harlan. Must be hard to keep clean though haha.
that doesnt look like a project g top, is it a custom made thing? how is it mounted?

I ordered some rubber bungs for spoiler holes on my NA6.
Not the best look, but does the job

If anyone's interested, I got them from rubbermark.co.nz

Cheers Dylann - Vaders soft-top (never used anyway because he doesn't go out in the wet... if it rains while he's out he doesn't stop) went to Nancy w/the silver UUBER car - what you see is a custom job pretty much like the Project-G Bikini G-String, made by 2LOW2C, it uses an ordinary front bow up front & some Vectran cordage to the rear, seconds to install/remove - absolutely love it, 100% one of the best things he's done to the vader car IMO.

Hmm, how much would he want to make another? Or more of a one off thing?

Shouldn't be too hard for your local auto upholsterer to whip up if you can provide the soft top? Unfortunately, the areas where soft tops get ratty are the parts you need to keep on that style of roof. So that might rule out getting a cheap second hand one.

Would it look even cooler if you put a curve in the material where the new triangles meet the original roof (kinda where the rear glass would be)?

harlansmart · Post by **harlansmart** » Wed Mar 27, 2013 2:09 pm

No, that would look patsy.
