I checked the carfax on the silver one, it came out clean, which I know may not be correct but pretty close. Thanks for all the good ideas guys.

If anyone knows of a mx3 for sale anywhere up to as far as Ontario that you can vouch for, let me know here or email to netcom@islandtelecom.com

Personal Assurance is the name of the company. But you have to be a police officer/family or military/ex/family to use them.
Of course, im 40 with an excellent driving record, I do pay alot less.

Install your strut bars and preload them inwards just turning with your hands. No need to reef on them. You don't have to try to pull the strut tops towards each other, just hand tighten.

This is the setup for daily driving and rallying.

Enjoy :)

Actually, either way applies, it doesn't matter if you are turning right or left, the outside of the vehicle is leaning away from the turn (ie: turn left and the car leans to the right ; turn right and the car is leaning to the left)and therefore causing the same tire pushing in - strut top leaning ...

Install them adjusted to a neutral position. Park the the car on a flat surface. From the strut bar, remove the circular end plates and install those first on the towers torquing those nuts to 34-46ftlb/47-62NM/4.7-6.4kgm. Then install the bar to the end plates, adjusting the threaded ends so the b...

just to add to this, I wouldn't mind just getting a nice set of 15" rims but I see them with either +35mm and +40mm offset, which rim would fit better?

Well, im not sure what a BPT would be like in a mx3 but being a former 323 GTX driver I was getting approx 400kms to the tank city driving. My regular 323 on the other hand was getting approx 500kms on the same tank of gas.
