I got a chance to get some 18s for my car.
4x100, ET40, 7x18, they should fit perfectly?

got 7.5x17, ET35 now, with some rubbing on the rear wheelarches.

The rims are Radius R3`s, so they should be of very good quality.

Anyone have any opinions?

hey all, a friend of mine photoshopped some 18" rims onto my Mx3. I can get them really cheap used from him.. think they look awesome :D they are 7x18, 4x100, ET40, so they should fit like a glove. pic: <img src="http://www.nope.no/nopemx3_18s.jpg" alt=" - " /> nope-mx3

I wouldn`t try this myself..
You have to remove the timing belt, and if you put the timing belt back on, and everything is not adjusted perfectly, you will get problems.

I had some holes in my flexpipe, and if Mazda was to replace it, they had to change the entire piping from the cat to the engine... Bosal doesn`t sell exhaust for the mx3 to other than Mazda anymore either. btw, Mazda quoted me the part here in Norway for about $600 + labour... and it`s almost certa...

my car is actually at the shop now, changing the waterpump. they had to change the "tightener" for the timing belt aswell, as it couldn`t be removed and reused... damn part was $200.. + waterpump + rear lateral linkarms (or something). looking forward to getting it back though :D nope-mx3

here in Norway they always use original parts.
figured it should be that way in the US also, as they sue eachother if something happens that shouyldnt

excellent

A tip: find out _everything_ that`s been damaged on the car in the accident. go to Mazda and get prices for every part, without any rebates etc. then get a price from mazda how much it will be to repair everything. I think it should be more than $4500. just the carpet in the back costs a lot I would...

My car is a 92.
I believe we measured the original bar to be 20mm.
those 2-3mm had A LOT to say on the handling of the car. I almost didn`t recognise it.

could you please list everything you have done?

would be very helpful

Whiteline do make custom bars, so a front one would be possible. But I think they would need a original bar to make a "mould" from.

Maybe som aussie Eunos 30X owners would like to help out?

I sure would be down with a front swaybar as the rear one is just king

$91 bucks is dirt cheap

here in Norway, Mazda wanted about $400 for the set....

(I have them in my car, but didn`t buy from Mazda, obviously)

you don`t have to remove the endlinks to install the rear swaybar. If you look at the center of the nut where the swaybar is mounted, you see that it`s a hole for an umbraco (correct name in english?) tool. you use this so the endlink doesn`t just rotate inside. reused the old endlinks on my mx3 atl...
