Gross indeed!!
Hard to believe it's the same car, but the Husson college parking pass on the pass side windshield sort of gives it away... lol

Car looks really familiar. Nice score. FYI CRX front indicators are supposed to fit in the slots for front bumper instead of the MX-3 indicators ;) These are old photos of my current mx3 from back in the day when I picked her up. What do you mean by "looks familiar" Car has been all over ...

Thought I would share some pics I came across from the day I picked up the mx. Drove 10 hours round trip to pick up the blue beauty to be. Blown K8, flat tires, crappy ebay coilovers with broken springs and blown shocks, bumper hanging off. What I saw though was a rust and rot free shell with a supe...

I used the original K8 throttle bracket with the curve neck and had no problems. I flipped the bracket around, mounted it further back in one of the extra 10mm holes on the IM and had to put alittle bend in it so cable is pulled straight instead of on an angle. Cable has no slop mounted this way and...

Try a pipe on the end of your breaker bar.

SOLD!!

Come on now... Not even necessary to get underneath the car. Turn the ignition on give it a couple cranks which maybe needed to prime the pump and there you go.
Yes it pose's a fire hazard but be smart about it and don't keep cranking and dumping fuel on the ground and don't smoke around fumes.

price lowered

Would running them backwards damage the regulator?

Just turn the ignition on and see which line is the supply, problem solved!!

I don't mean to be a chump. I'm sure this has been discussed, but on my phone search is difficult. I'm doing a ZE into a GS swap. Is the shorter fuel hose that points out towards the passenger's side the supply? It made sense, since it only has to reach the filter. Easy way of checking would be tur...

Great news everyone... Keeping the blue beauty!! Phew that was close!! :lol: With all the work and effort I've personally put into this car myself since ownership from engine (2 K8's and 1 ZE later) and getting the body back to it's original state of beauty and restoring the 21 year old's ride quali...

http://xtremethings.com/ If my memory serves me, in past phone conversations with Michael he led me to believe he had chipped a K8 ecu once for a friend, but not sure what the outcome. Honest guy with a wealth of knowledge. IMO if you go with a JDM engine, I would get a JDM ecu though for the sake o...

Does anyone even chip the K8 ecu anymore? I don't believe stoker or probinator does. I know Michael Perry still does DE ecu's, but not the K8 ecu...

I didn't have any hardware for mounting either. Here's what I did... Pick up some 10mm plastic fasteners / bumper clips from your auto parts store that you will use for mounting in front of the rear tire. Should be two holes there in the body that line up with the skirts. Second is use a good double...

Don't things like the ECU from the original K8 engine (assuming they are still all right) just transfer to the KL engine? You can safetly run the K8 ecu, but won't experience full potential of the KL until you get proper ecu and vaf setup. KL31 or KL36 ecu w/K8 JE50 vaf meter. You can also use your...
