On JDM rims Try googling Hayashi Street, watanabe, and Enkei Apache II, as a starter Rota does a similar rim to the Hayashi street. This short article is a good introduction, but there are tonnes of different rims www.speedhunters.com/2008/09/the_101_gt_gt_cool_japanese_wheels_pt_1/A theme of these rims, is deep dish and polished lips. Personally I think they look good on J saloon cars but I don’t know what your stud pattern is or what is available but there is bound to be something. |

FWD Mazdas and RWD Mazdas are completely different in stud patterns Prior to the Series III RX-7.
so R100, RX-2/Capella, RX-3/808, 1300, 1000's, RWD 626, 929 and 323's etc are all 4x110. The only exception are 929L's, RWD 121's and RX-5s and 1500/1800s which are 4x120.
Series I and II RX-7s are also 4x110, stud pattern change came with the FWD cars and the SIII '7.

Just a small update on the Montrose. Since the last post not much has been done aesthetically but some mechanical bits sorted. She has a new larger rad, alternator, and pipe work. Engine runs very smoothly now and pulls like a train! Added inside is a Pacman soft toy, a Playboy from November 1981. I just typed it into Ebay and it was pretty much the same blue as the car! I am still looking for different bumpers, I’d like the alternative ones they did on the TWR. Some photos…     |

Nearly bought one of these before I entered Scirocc-land back in about 85.
Insurance was a killer, even compared to the Rocco at the time for me, but these are very cool cars indeed.

Unfortunatly nothing special at the moment. I'd love to work on the body work that needs attention but it's been looked at and I don't have deep enough pockets. I haven't got the experience to work on it myself so for now all mechanical work has been kept ontop of. She runs well still, although that age old problem of rust in the tank is getting gradually worse.  I can highly recommend the Linseed oil method of restoring bumpers.   |
