Sweet, thanks for the pic, Deep!
Was flourish orange also just nailpolish, or was it like a spraypaint? Do they still light up?

Then wouldn't you have holes for the wiper arms in the wrong place? And no hole where you need to have a hole?

Haha which ones do, Blake? The top ones are the AUS-spec spare ones I painted, the bottom ones are just JDM stock, but with the red backlighting (which only works now, not like 12 months ago when I first attempted to get it happening!!) Note the difference in redlines between JDM and AUSDM... :D :D ...

hahaha evo just wanted to give someone else unrelated posts, seeing as they usually happen in his worklog

the break down would go something like this. cf hood and gas door. purple-bluish rims with the polished lip to go with the polished rocker covers, the raised lettering on the rocker would be painted to match the wheels, maybe the valley where the plug tubes purple as well. Sounds like a sweet plan!...

yea, still alive
AAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!! NOOOOO!!!!! Not only ruining a well-wrapped part, but also breaking it?! Maybe I won't be alive for long...

Hahaha sweet!
True, I forget about other countries having bad weather and all... Here we're heading into winter, so the weather has cooled down to a "chilli" 20~degrees C, and sunny...

Bahaha! Even I know that, and I'm not really a 323 buff! I don't know if we had them sold here in Aus, but I know a few guys have them imported from Japan...

Nice work Mr. Custom! Looks great, looks like it gets pretty good coverage, too... I do agree with Moon on how high up it parks itself, but if it doesn't bother you, then that's what matters!
I'm assuming you're going to fabricate a custom wiper cowl, too, then? Fibreglass or something?

That actually looks pretty cool! Tidy work, by the looks!

Haha mine dont really light up necessarily, but they are well illuminated by the lights when in OEM white. I tried using a product similar to a red Nightshade on my spare cluster. I'm not sure if I just put it on way too thick or not, but it is impossible to see the needles in the dark with the ligh...

Hmmm red nightshade... that's not a bad idea... I might give it a shot on my spare gauge cluster first!
I didn't even realise Nightshade came in red... but then, I'm not sure how I thought people tinted their tails red, then... haha... I'm CLEVARRR!!! haha

Heyas, I know I've seen someone somewhere (Unless it was a dream!) who had an OEM gauge cluster, but they had somehow changed the colour of only the needle to red, and it looked mad... Now I've spent 2hrs trying to find it (I could've sworn I had commented on it, but cant even find it in the list of...

Keep it OEM Mazda & 99% of people (even inspectors) wouldn't know the difference in appearance between a KL and a K8. Basically unless you use a Ford Probe-sourced engine (thus having a Ford logo on it) nobody would know the difference. Unless you hinted at it.

Huzzahh!!!! Congrats on getting the beast running! Must be a great feeling, even though there are so many other "little" things to fix up here & there still, looks like so much is behind you & that's some major progress! Looks great! I'm guessing it was the little helper that got i...
