JDMSTIVA V2 Build Thread

[reddragon]

I managed to find some LED trailer accessory lights that I modified to be Clear lens LED turn signals. They weren't quite the look I want, nor have I fully fixed the hyper flash, so consider them temporary. When I put in the style I really want, I will be making a write-up.

I came across these recently, apparently they fix hyperflash - https://www.jaycar.com.au/relay-flas...r-12v/p/SY4018

After 2 years of waiting for the right day and the right price, I finally have the 2nd best pair of lights ever fitted to the Mazda DA Platform: Partial Faded USDM Clears!



Much better than those plastidip black things I had before...

Here they are mounted up with the now Charcoal spoiler and a new Muffler

Due to some hold-ups with paint and engine work, parts for V2 continue to get made... then promptly stuck onto V1, lol. At any rate, I figure this thread deserves some updates.

First, that Beautiful spoiler has been painted to match my planned theme. Red/Gold/Charcoal metallic. The spoiler received the latter of the 3:



I had gotten some power mirrors a long time ago from my JY.
They were pretty scratched up. I used a bit of JB weld as filler, sanded them all smooth, and then painted them in the charcoal metallic as well.



The wheels finally got some proper rubbers put on. Achilles ATR-K 165/55/R14.

Got a clean KJ Blue fender from a Festiva in the JY that had been scheduled to be scrapped this week. I had already pulled a lot from it in the past few months.

I used a few stickers from my growing collection to do a better Stickerbomb for V2. Here are the results!

Another look at things to come!

I need to get a set of the bump stops for my car, I have not put on the new wheels yet and haven't changed the camber so I scrub the back wheels too easily. :nightmare:

I went with the right-side-up KYB lower perch, because the skinnier part holds the springs in place.

I think we are talking about the same thing Tom haha

[TominMO]

No, just threw them on to hold the springs down till they are ready for installation. I will be using the upside down perch like in Mikes Guide when the time comes!

You using those top hats on the rear?
Never see anyone use those looks like they would wiggle around a bunch with that big of a hole.
