Very clean, but having a codename seems a little weird. What makes it a "blackbird" other then the fact that the car is black.

ummmm... "this is 'neutral' - calling 'MX-3 Money'... 'neutral' - to 'MX-3 Money'... come in 'MX-3 Money'... do you read me...?" maybe "codenames," whether for cars or even ppl, aren't that weird after all...?MX-3 Money wrote:Very clean, but having a codename seems a little weird...
Hey Thunderstorm, your ride looks great - very clean. Eurospec stock MX-3 is a thing of beauty. I've admired your MX for awhile now & betcha get a lot of compliments in your area driving around. Nice to see such a late model too since '96 was last year sold in North America. Have you ever considered lowering springs for a small 25mm -35mm drop? Would add an awesome stance.

LOL, true but i don't call my car the "money mobile". If you're giving it a name give it one that suits the theme. And I don't see the bird theme here. I'd rather give my car a girls name or something. But thats just me.....

I believe the "blackbird" he is referring to is not a bird, but the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird high altitude spycraft.

I have considered dropping the suspension of "Blackbird", however, in the UK, London in particular, the roads are not that good.
Worse still, the local authorities are deeply obsessesd with sticking all manner of "sleeping policemen" on most roads, meaning lowered cars virtually always suffer severe damage to their undersides.
The damn beaurocrats over here are dedicated killjoys who create jobs for themselves by ruining the driving experience of the average motorist. I calculate most of the damage to the suspensions of most cars here are directly inflicted by these rotten road bumps designed to "slow motorists down".
However, it does still sit pretty low, on account of the 15inch Alloys & the TOYO low profile tires on the car.
