You can run a switch/relay setup separately to control the compressor on/off if you like.

Re: Need Info on Short Shifters

you will need a replacement for the rubber bushing that keeps it in place if it falls through, best bet is to head out to affiliated during the week they have a few mx3s you should find a good 1 there.

Re: Master window switch for 92 mx-3

post it in the wanted to buy section you can get one off there for cheaper than that. I have a spare but I am not sure if its the same connector as I think they may have changed it somewhere through the years.

Re: Need Info on Short Shifters

just bring me your stock one and I can make you one rather than buy one. I did it to mine and it works just as well as any ebay shifter.

Re: More tales of electrical woe...

Yeah I had that happen once and it was an engine ground issue after I had put a 2nd engine in my buddies car a few years ago, found it pretty quickly though.

Re: mazda mx3 a good buy?

not a fan of the gtr wing on the mx-3 but I do like the euro bumpers on the car. My fav spoiler by far that I saw on the mx-3 was the eclipse one I saw a while back.

bottom line dollar for dollar a mx3 is the better bet than any civic, dollar cost per hp is cheaper on the mx3. Dropping in the bigger engine which is a very easy swap nets you a lot more hp, projectzemx3 you are dead wrong the car can be fast the stock setup is not great I admit but they have great...
