So anyway sorta back to the topic, did you know if the antenna's off the focus and vw are the solid plastic style or the flexible ones?



btw I got some carbon-fibre delivered from a us company the other day. I'm gonna start making some carbon-fibre stuff. Might fix up my dash with carbon fiber.

Cool.I think the focus is the flexible plastic.My aunt has a 02 focus 4dr and looks really flexible.

drifter 03-17-2003 12:06 AM

haha "looks flexible" hey aunt, mind if I look at your antenna ...snap... oh ****....umm .. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

j/k

Racer X 03-17-2003 12:16 AM

I'm pretty sure it is flexible tho.I know the VW one is.I saw one at a wrecker before and saw how far it could bend.I think they are both similar tho.

drifter 03-17-2003 12:23 AM

I was just thinking that if it was like a hard piece of moulded plastic with the antenna through the middle, I might be able to carbon fibre it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Smog Fighter 03-17-2003 08:31 PM

the On-Star one has a plastic base but the antenna part is hard rubber.

drifter 03-17-2003 10:07 PM

Hmmm, that sounds carbon-fibre-able. I might look into it in a couple of weeks when I go to weld up new metal into my roof. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Racer X 03-18-2003 01:09 AM

Remember we need more rust pics of that roof too. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Might want to put out a warning for 56K users. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

drifter 03-18-2003 02:57 AM

Yeah, I'm going to have to get snap happy with the digi cam. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I'm going to see if I can get some replacement panels for the roof instead of trying to fix up the rusted out ones. Might have to ask Mike about what I can and can't get from Mazda. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Racer X 03-18-2003 03:29 AM

Cool.If anyone know about replacements its him.

i think you can still buy the roof panel, but the quarter panels are no longer available

I'll take some pics tonight. I looked in the parts book of www.iluvmyrx7.com, and I couldn't really see what I'm looking for. but that things not 100% in usability. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

Bigger wheels means stiffer ride.The guy with the GSL-SE on 17's says he dropped it down 2" and still doesn't rub.His wheels and new paint bring that stock body back to life.

Sorry it took so long to answer. Been kinda busy with our "Desert Excursion" https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png



Basically just about everything on the car has been re-done in one way shape or form. The engine is a large street port Turbo engine/transmission. Full 3" exhaust and downpipe. FMIC. 6-puck clutch. A-pilar/console gauges. Full body kit with custom nose. All polyeurethane bushings. 15x7 Snypers.



You could fit 17"s. I gotta friend with a set. But as stated you'll need an SE suspension, unless you've got the money to have some special made. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png



There's more to come soon. Got a few more engine mods to go. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Hey Mike,

these are some pieces of the roof that I would rather replace new than fix, do you reckon mazda would have em?? and if yes, do you know the part numbers? I looked but wasn't exactly sure, the diagrams weren't too good.

Racer X 03-24-2003 01:06 AM

Drifter,You might need to go hunting at a wrecker for the sunroof surround.That one has seen better days.Where is that other piece from?



Luis

drifter 03-24-2003 01:13 AM

Thats part of the sunroof too. One of the interior metal panels. Theres like 4 or 5 interior metal panels all spot welded in holding the sunroof together. And most of mine are rusted. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

That inner surround is spot welded in about 20 places, I dont think I can get a used one without it getting/being damaged, I need to either go new or fix it myself.

Racer X 03-24-2003 01:16 AM

I hope Mike has a part number for you then. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png

drifter 03-24-2003 01:17 AM

Yeah, you and me both! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

You mean I have to get the whole roof?? I thought maybe I could just get that inner pannel part?
