Not much of an update.
But i finally painted my odd silver watanabe to match the rest,

And had lunch with the family so we took them both for a drive.

Not a whole lot has changed.
Just a few interior additions,
The Mazdaspeed seats are great, always found myself sliding on the standard ones.
These have enough support and no compromise with comfort,
Installed a Jet Stream short console which needs painting as it's a gloss finish and doesn't match the interior, and most recently a KG Works cluster.
Going to get some needle caps and Rev Limiter gauge faces to finish it off,
Finding it hard to decide on a set, these might work: http://revlimiter.net/store/gauges-stirling.php

Ive found that Plastidip "Black" comes up in a very close colour/texture to the factory plastics.
Here's my JASS-OMGPHAM Radio/gauge plate..... it was stainless finish & I painted it with plastidip (the tombstone is unpainted)

Not a whole lot has happened on the old girl in awhile,
Changed the old door bushes for some New Delrin bushes, made by AT Performance.

Few different brands make the same type of bush, decided to try the Aussie made one.
Didn't think they would make as bigger difference as they have.
The old rattle of the window when you go over a bump is gone!
Door closes with more of a thud, and doesn't more at all once closed.

I've had them fitted in the black car for the last week, and on my daily commute have tried every bump i can find on the road, including driving along the line markers to notice any difference, And i can say its money well spent.
Cheapest effective mod you'll ever do!
And very easy to install ( 10mm socket and a set of allen keys)

Also have a Garage Vary retro rear panel, ready for paint.
plus front & Rear Oem Lips to be painted aswell.

Had a few parts painted brg, OEM front and rear lips.
And the Garage Vary panel, Thinking its about time i got some custom plates to do the exterior justice,

After sitting in storage it's finally one step closer to making it on the car,
Will post better photos with it all fitted,
