If you cant find an oil specific for running in - probably a slightly thicker than normal mineral oil. Like a 10W-40 mineral oil (reason I say that is 40 weight oil is allowed to have more zddp in it). Don't use synthetic.

You could have a bad igniter causing it. I'd clean and reconnect the big disty connecter. Then I'd even remove the crankshaft sensor near t...

Removing EGR reduces MPG??

If you removed all of it and capped off the vacuum hoses it should still run fine.

Very interesting, guess what oil I used to run in my engine rebuild for 500kms?

Our cars aren't worth the hassle even if it did happen and an engine could be fitted

Thank for the info guys! So if I'm understanding my research correctly, the klze will function ok with k8 ecu and k8 vaf but to get it running to 'full' potential it is the kl31/36 ecu and the k8 vaf works with that? Unless i get a klde ecu and run a kl02 vaf? And how can you tell the difference in...

Interesting thread. I've read about a few KL builds going bad, but they are few and far between. Not many people remember when someone rebuilds and had no issues compared to very memorable pictures of destroyed KL engines :lol: I've rebuilt my KL31 and it's done approx 35,000kms on the rebuild. Runn...

Hmmm you're right it is more curved than yours. I think yours is better, just looks tighter coming inwards and more like it belongs on the car.

So this pic here, I would just grab the spoiler and mini spoiler (garnish) below it and that should work good eh?

I still have my Mx6 seats in the shed lol

My stock seats are getting worn down like hell. Going to have to do something soon. Can't find any leather MX-3 seats here.

Love the car man.

How does the rear spoiler work? I might have found one here in australia, very rare! Do I need to remove my old wrap around spoiler and put that on? Is it two piece (looks like another one below it)?
