Nice! Very nice!!!

nice one Will.....
what have i got to do with it....?

I love the MazdaSpeed nose - great work Will. :ylsuper:

Look forward to having a closer look at your car at the Nats. :angel:

My MS suspension is getting installed today. :rock:

nice one Will.....
what have i got to do with it....?

You showed me the gap between the nose and the wing in Bunnings car park - remember?

eric cant remember wat he had for breakfast so pardon him!!

looks awesome will, congrats :)

Hey Will, how did you mount your fog lights? Does the MS nose have mounting points for the stock fittings or did you do it some other way?

Hey Will, how did you mount your fog lights? Does the MS nose have mounting points for the stock fittings or did you do it some other way?

you can buy ms fog light mounting brackets separately

Nicely done Will

Hey Will, how did you mount your fog lights? Does the MS nose have mounting points for the stock fittings or did you do it some other way?

You have to buy some brackets in addition to the nose (I got it all through japanparts) to enable the fogs to be fitted. That meant cutting mesh and the black inserts behind the mesh, to fit the brackets, plus drilling holes in the MS nose to fix the brackets themselves.

The instructions are very clear in spite of being in Japanese, but cutting and drilling brand new, beautifully painted bits was a bit harrowing!

I didn't bother to keep a photo record of it all - I'm sure someone more anal than me has done that already somewhere :lol:

Cool! Thanks for that. :D

You showed me the gap between the nose and the wing in Bunnings car park - remember?
oh yeah... my bad. now me remember.
good work!
you doing the rear too? :naughty:

you doing the rear too? :naughty:

Anyway I'm ready for the Nats now :mdrmed:

And you know what... maybe it's mainly the mirrors but the car is SO much quieter at freeway speed... I love this kit.

It's lookin even better Will :aroused: , I know a few people that saw it a the workshop the other day a commented how good it looked! :Drooling_ :Drooling_

that is sex on wheels :bowdown:

are you gonna do the rear too?

Thanks zeph - u inspired me to do it, you know! I will do the rear sooner or later (probably sooner :wiggle:)

Do not lay your key casually next time we dine out Will :evil_laug

Simply awesome

Thanks zeph - u inspired me to do it, you know! I will do the rear sooner or later (probably sooner :wiggle:)

but i'm worried about the rear...

the instructions looked scray...

if u need the english instructions for the rear just pm me:)

the stock rear needs to be cut doesnt it??

looks awesome Will, congrats!!

ya the instructions tells you to hack saw the lower portion of the original bumper while it's still on the car, you also need to be careful not to damage muffler in the process. then drill 6 holes into the chasis to mount the rear diffuser.

the thing is, that the instructions are really hard to tell which portions to cut near the tips

WOW - that looks awesome.

mazdaspeed is the best kit!

good one! will

^^

Brian

Very very nice Will looks really great. Love the yellow colour and your mirrors set the car off! Do the back do the back!!! Wish I could mod mine...so I live vicariously through those that do! :crazy:

then drill 6 holes into the chasis to mount the rear diffuser.

into the chassis you said...? :Eyecrazy:

into the chassis you said...? :Eyecrazy:

ops my bad, just had a quick look.
there is actually only 3 brackets to support the diffuser. 2 long ones on the sides and 1 short one in the middle, and yes the brackets are secured with fasteners on to the rear chassis in the pics. (no drilling is required unlike the side skirts, which i drilled like 8 holes for mine) :)

Since Will doesn't appear the boasting type, thought you all should know that his car won "Coolest Car" at the Nats by loud, spontaneous and unanimous popular acclaim. Nothing else was in the hunt IMHO. Beautiful set of wheels Will and great to meet you. :icon_tup:

Enjoy drinking from that cup! ;)

Yes...even though Lightning Yellow has never been my number one, this car looked outstanding. Good work!

totally agree with the above!

a) yelrx8 is HAWT

and

b) will rocks!!

Thanks fans...

Cheered me up no end after my pathetic lap times at Wakefield!

Will

lol no such thing as pathetic lap times :)

^^too true...a pathetic lap is one where you start off but don't make it back to the finish line :(

lol no such thing as pathetic lap times :)

Correct! :)

You arrived with a pretty car and left with one. So long as you had some fun and maybe learnt something inbetween, that's all that matters. :ylsuper:

Absolutely! Your last time better than your first and a straight car is a bloody good result as far as i can tell.......loved the crawl..walk...run...........advice up front!!

And very cool car!!My best piccie of the meet was of the yellow beast, will post it tonight, it almost looks photo shopped cause the car looks so good! Hard to take a bad pic of it i reckon!!

Dont woory Will. you NEEDED to be slow on the track so people could take more pics.

For those that dont know, Will took the "Coolest Car" award at the nationals. :rock:

After sitting in Gundagai with Andrew, Will and Vic on the way home and seeing how people ignored the blue, red and shinka 8s, I am going to buy simmons wheels, get a body kit and paint my car yellow! :)

I must admit, it was hard to keep my eyes on the road on the way home with Will in the convoy.

Greg

its not shinka...its eggplant ;)

If you're not careful you'll get 10 in the sin bin. :nono:

I better not say it looks like the morning after a night on Guiness then... :mdrmed:I'd have said Zambuca & Gelato! :mdrmed:

I can cope with Zambuca and Gelato.

Well... whatever colour it is, it reflects yellow very well

It also carries Wakefield bird shit quite beautifully :mdrmed:
