Looking good Alex, guess you won't be on the Zone much then

Nice one Alex.

I got my local garage to sort me out with a new clutch master cylinder for £45 fitted so they're not much.

Posted: **Wed Feb 25, 2009 6:22 pm**

2.0 v6 sounds good with the 4

No that price was including the new master cylinder

. He really is an awesome fella at our local garage and has done loads of stuff on our family's cars over the years.

was it cheaper because he knew you then, everyone says its easy to do but when you dont really know how to bleed something or dont know where they slave is it could be difficult

i almost got him to buy one but the insurance was too much apparantly

in his mums name so it would still have been cheaper than what i was paying for a 3cyl car

I like the black spoiler for a bit of contrast, any shots of the interior? May I say I know i've been off the zone for a few months but seriously Alex how big is your post count? When I left you were only at 400

Posted: **Wed Feb 25, 2009 6:40 pm**

Looking good you're so lucky! Although I think a black IS lip would look rather cool!

You should have got pics of the mazda's exhaust so we could laugh at it!

just redyed the carpets black too and they look pretty good, i dyed them dark grey before but it looked a bit patchy and i was trying to make the dye last as i only had a small amount

Posted: **Wed Feb 25, 2009 6:42 pm**

You taxed it on the 25th of february?

Please don't bend it after all the work you have put into it!

Lol well I'm obviously wrong! I think I might be on about josh-hocking! His posting just annoyed me! Would look very smart with some smoked headlights

Oh and a thing about not wanting to go sidewards, I was the same way untill my car decided to do it by itself on black ice

so keep vigilant! Best of luck!

Your car looks nice, Alex. Worth the wait I'm sure. Would look nice with the rear lights tinted red I reckon...

ive thought about that, but tbh i'am a bit of an oem fanatic when it comes to bm's, it wont be long before them clear indicators come off

Posted: **Thu Feb 26, 2009 7:21 pm**

Keep the clear indicators, looks better with them on

Smoked would blend in well with the black bumper strip
