Newfie livin in calgary here.

get a 5 spd out of a escort GT its probably the stronger of the trannies for use in a mx3. Its a g series and they usually are pretty easy to find since not to many people look for a escort gt to get 1 from, so long as its a 91-96 escort GT. It has the dohc bp engine in it, even has bp stamped in th...

ok so I will be looking at doin a klze swap in my 96 gs probably this summer or fall, and I want your guys opinions on what tranny to couple it with. I can get a mx-6 trans from a local yard here and tear it down and rebuild or I can just use my trans and swap out 5th. So opinions on it and what you...

usually when this happens its the thermal fuse that burns up or the solders to it.

the engine fuse is 10a in mine as well I do believe I will dbl check for ya.

I found the reason why it goes bad if anyone is interested in the actual source of the issue as opposed to temporary fixes. The relays under the dash are all mounted on the plate. the one which controls the rear defrost has a heavy blue wire/white tracer and a heavy black wire with yellow tracer and...

I have this issue but I only noticed it when the temp dropped here, I will be checking the coolant level but I am more inclined to think its the iac, I pulled the codes with my obd2 scanner and never got any which I thought was odd. I think the iac may be sticking with the colder weather.

good to know, I might be requiring some help from you guys when I do my klze swap in the 96 gs. FYI I am a heavy duty mech in calgary so if you guys need anything fabbed I can probably do it.

you can't chip a obd2 comp from the 96 mx3 gs either which sucks for me cause I got a 96 obd2 gs.

has anyone ever done a write up on the 5th gear swap into a mx-3 trans? I just picked up a 96 mx-3 gs and I hate that its geared so low for highway cruising. 5th really needs to be taller on it. at 120km/h I am doing about 4000 rpm, way to high for highway cruising. or should I just swap in a mx-6 5...

if you use that vht crap spray VERY light coats or it runs. I did a few tail lights with this stuff but I don't recommend it. It tends to go a little to dark for my liking and getting it even is a bit of a pita.
