Re: TWiR 1986 S3 TWR
could you not get it on the insurance? usually its £50 towards the screen and they cover the rest.
but they seem to crack on fb's, as two i've went to see had cracks along the A pillars parallel to the wind screen wiper
or near the tax disc if its the passenger side.
in fact an fb i might be buying (sshhhh don't tell anyone) has a cracked screen, but the owner is getting it replaced.
so i hope it gets sealed well etc.

Re: TWiR 1986 S3 TWR
they usually crack due to rot in the windscreen pillars underneath the satin black pillar trims

Re: TWiR 1986 S3 TWR
yeah i heard that, its just a few screws that holds the pillar covers on, so you can easily remove and check for the rot etc?ian65 wrote:they usually crack due to rot in the windscreen pillars underneath the satin black pillar trims

there's one screw at the base of each pillar trim but the trims are also fastened on with plastic clips that always snap when you try to remove the trims.

Re: TWiR 1986 S3 TWR
I've been thinking that TWiR should get out more.... what with all these new suspension bits and pieces. So recently, there was a 'Mazda on Track' event at a little circuit not too far away




TWiR wants new running shoes for Xmas now!! And I should also thank RedArrow Leader for prep assistance and rescue.

Spotted on the same day in it's natural habitat .... LHD SA .... nice track day weapon!

Great Pics there Dave. Thanks.
Particularly the one under the Brands Hatch overhead - one to keep forever and treasure.
