hey everyone while taking apart the rear bumper and tail lights..

i came across a small problem

i managed to take out the lights and put on the new ones and the rear bumper but

the middle garnish if flippen hard to take off lol anyone had the same problem??

i unscrewed the two bolts on either side of it releasing it but then there weas a middle plastis type clip thing..

ive tried everything to take it out

does anyone have a special way to release it?? or do people just break it and bolt it on instead??

thanks

do what ever you want! doesn't matter what everyone else thinks

but if you want more power you can try stroking it? maybe use a rb30 bottom end? bore it out or try some cams with more duration and lift? a computer? there are things you can do but at the end of the day your hp to $ ratio is gonna suck

i ended up changing the lights to stock

and i managed to get the garnish out

it lookss a shit load better alredy even though the rear bars colours a different white..

i just came across a few problems..

i added some pics on ere to show u guys what they are

the original exhaust tip that came with it when i bought it is blocking the rear bar from locking in?? not sure why when it would be at an average stock height to allow the bar to fit nicely over it??

also are there special bolts to lock in the rear bar underneath the garnish?? cuz the vortex bodykit didnt have bolts there only on the left and right side and by the looks of it.. the holes a shit load bigger then the original size on the car thats allowed.. what should i use loll?? got no idea?? double sided tape lol silicon lol no idea

ahhh is it easy to install half an exhaust on the 33? or should i get a panel beater to do that??

and last of all im going to do what everyone reccomended to me and paint the garnish white

is there a special paint you use?? or just a basic paint from an auto store??

cheerss

    • I transferred from full time service to Army Reserve, so I still have access, work has been super keen to get me in to work in the OPS realm, so just turning up to use the gym......and ovens, isn't causing any issues, apart from me needing to keep on telling them that I won't be doing any reserve days until I get my joint in Goulburn sorted  Basically I can now work whenever I want, for how long I want now, and it's all tax free Next time we have some fires or floods you might see me covered in mud, or cutting sick in some plant equipment cleaning up, the Reserves love getting in the news, LOL
    • Final finish outcome of 80°c was typical to the pics, I've turned the oven down to 50°c and will pick them up after the gym tomorrow  The before and after difference was amazing, the wrinkle paint has covered all of the casting marks completely It did take a couple of hours to key it all and get in all of the crevices, but, for me it was time well spent for the final outcome, but I have all the time in the world to do it at the moment  Ended up with 4 coats, each sprayed at different angles to get optimal coverage and thickness As for the fixtures and intake box thingo that hasn't made it, the supplier is apparently posting the fixtures, and, are now sending a different CAI that is in stock The replacement CAI is actually better than what I originally ordered, but will require a pod filter that locates under the front bar, still serviceable, but it basically removes the whole OEM filter box and ducts into the front bar, so filter cleaning will require ramps and the removal of some front bar undertray, not a war stopper, just some ramps and an additional 10 minutes work every few months From looking at it it is made from alloy pipe from the throttle body, through the CAI hole in the rad support, then right turning under the bar, luckily the wrinkle paint was on special and I got 2 cans for $30ish, so the alloy will get the same wrinkle treatment as the intake manifold, hopefully it turns up soon, either way, the car will be getting booked in soon, if the parts aren't here, I'll just get MX5 Mania to " make it work"  
    • I'm so glad base security is so high. I see they stopped some random codger from being able to just wander in off the street... 😛   PS, intake looks good!
    • So far so good, another hour and their done
    • Exactly how each part works and how they all work together to make the engine function. That's all I'd need to do a basic build. Maybe how forced induction works. I probably need to learn some of the maths behind it all as well.
