Seems like the air gap is a good bit larger on the spoilers in these pictures on ebay than other rs spoilers I've seen that barely have much gap at all...what's up with that, just in the mounting? As in, mounted higher or shimmed up somehow? I like it though.... I believe it`s two different spoiler...

I have the red koni`s and they are a lot stiffer than the stock struts. In fact, they are 5 steps adjustable, and also rebuildable. There`s no way I`m ever going back to the stock struts. Actually, I have a friend with a Ford Mondeo (not sure what it`s called in the US). And my Mx-3 with Koni & ...

I use the Porterfield R4S front and Rear.
I think they work very nice.

I might even try the R4 pads next time.

I went with the Probe front motor mount from AWR for my MX-3 as well as my brothers. They are allot beefier and use bigger bolts 1/2" as opposed to the 3/8" on OEM MX-3 ones. I am currently working with AWR to have them produce a solid Rear motor mount for our cars. So i am looking forwar...

slotted rotors can actually be a good thing. Got a friend with a tuned Miata, and his pads got glased more with blank discs than with slotted. So slotted discs can have an impact :) -n glazed pads or warped rotors are caused by going over the temperature range the pads were meant to be used in. If ...

Isn't the whole point of using engine mounts is to absorb engine vibration, instead of amplifying it and sending it through the whole car, putting extra stress on the frame and crossmember? May seem like a fun thing to do, but I don't think it's good for the car or the engine for that matter. Racec...

Drilled discs can crack a lot easier.
not totally, but hairline cracks from the drilled holes.
If you get such cracks here in Norway, and you get stopped in a technical check. You get an immediate appointment to show new discs.

There is no point to adding a larger front bar. It will only make the car push harder into a turn. If anything you would want a bigger bar in the back and stiffer rear springs. This would be a very common set-up on for any Mazda FWD car set-up for a road course. I`m in the final stages for my Mx-3,...
