This is how it was when i bought it, didn't take any pics of the engine bay though... oh well
So to start things off i bought my MX-3 in late February of 08. As soon as i saw it i knew it was destined to be mine. The car came with summer and winter tires/rims. The summers are awesome they say their advans, but i don't believe it, they weigh a tone... I probably had the car no more than a month before deciding that i wanted to mod it.
The first thing that I did would be the exhaust, an impulse buy! Awesome those are the best haha. The exhaust lasted me for a while and then once i got some more cash i bought a cold air for the K8. At this time I had already spent countless hours reading as much as i could on this site and gaining a wealth of knowledge, this is where i learned about the KLZE and it was always on my mind. It only took a couple months until i realized that i wanted something more from my car, and begun the search for a KLZE. I didn't particularly want to order one from a site and have it shipped over to my place, and have to swap over the tranny and all kinds of hard work, I'm rather lazy. But if it came right down to it i would order one. One night when out with a local tuners club of mine, a guy approached me asking what i had in it and asked he asked if i wanted a KLZE of course i said yes, and soon enough i had a KLZE'd ford probe sitting beside my mx3 in my garage!

This is a picture of the K8 being pulled out of the mx3, you can also see the probe in the back ground.
in preparation for the swap i had to move my battery to the hatch! Only took about an hour.
The swap went well, although it took just over a month to complete....

The ZE does have the STRAIGHT neck on it, I just ground down some of the k8 throttle body and ground part of the front bolt on the brake reservoir. it is possible... and it works haven't had any issues so far, I am intending to get a different TB on with a larger bore size, and some new solid motor mounts, I need the linkage to be the same as the k8 because the ZE linkage is too long and would have to be sitting in the brake reservoir... not going to happen...
So thats the epic story so far, I'll get some pictures up soon. Tones more things planned for this car!
