Hey <p>Does anyone know if it`s any Downpipes for the Mx3 that`s made by some other than Mazda?<p>would it be expensive to get it custom made?<p>nope-mx3

ah, that`s a good idea.
I can use a pipe from a ford probe or a Mazda 626?
with some modifications?<p>nope-mx3

Checked it today.
Was no leak, and plenty of fluid, so It`s all good <p>found a small hole in the flex-hose infront of the cat. though... looks as if I have to replace the entire exhaust system from the cat. to the engine :/ (about $700 US in parts)<p>nope-mx3

Anyone know where I could buy a set of hood pins?
It looks pretty cool on the Mx3, besides, it helps to secure the hood, wich is important<p>nope-mx3

No problems yet, so I`ll fix it tomorrow.<p>Thanks for replying <p>(this way I can put the money on the Koni`s and H&R`s I have ordered, hehe)<p>

hehehehe, <p>I kinda think curtklze rocks ;D I`m looking forward to see what you all say, after he`s finished with the work on his car, and he`s right. :) <p>Anyway, the most important thing about owning a car, is that the owner is happy with it, and enjoys driving it. What other people means, is no...

ouch, gotta go buy some power steering fluid tomorrow then hehehe<p>Hope it`s not burnt out. The power steering seems to be working, so I guess it`s still functionable.<p>thanks for the reply<p>nope-mx3

I think I got way too little power steering fluid. Seems it`s a leak in the hose.<p>Is this "dangerous"? What`s the worst thing that can happen? I got a "ticking" sound when I turn my steering wheel, might this be because of this? The noise has been there since I got my Mx3, so I...

I installed a HKS kit just the other day. Excellent kit by the way. Complete with brackets and everything you need.<p>The sound is incredible, and the responsiveness of the engine got at lot better. It picks up on the rpm a lot quicker, so I`d say it`s worth it :D The sound alone is a killer, hehe<p...

You know where in Norway you have family?<p>nope-mx3

A local mechanic are doing them. And also the shop where I buy them, the are supposedly experts on Koni, and they told me to call them if I had any problems.<p>I got a little nervous when I saw the install description.. :) '...then you just hacksaw the original strut..' umm, nothing I`d do myself :)...

Aiden,<p>hey <p>just a bit curious, but why do you have the Norwegian flag as an avatar?
I`m Norwegian and thought it a bit funny, hehe <p>nope-mx3

hey all :) <p>is Koni`s & H&R`s a good matched combo? I orderered Mazdaspeed struts, but they where discontinued, and replaced with a much more expensive series (almost twice as expensive...)<p>anyone have any pictures of a Mx3 with Koni`s and H&R`s? I just hope it lowers the car so most...

I have orderered Mazdaspeed struts + H&R springs.
Is it enough to get a wheel alignment on this setup, or do I need to get camber bolts?<p>Also, wich other parts is recommended to replace when swapping struts? I would guess that some small parts might be a bit worn.<p>nope-mx3
