Greetings from the new guy.
Hi, my name is Neil, and I just bought my first mx3 about 2 weeks ago. It's a 93 4cyl 5spd with 197,000 miles on it. Runs and drives great, it's been taken pretty good care of.
So far I'm likin' it, it gets good mileage, has decent power, and looks decent too. It has a few issues, but at almost 200,000 miles what doesn't?

Re: Greetings from the new guy.
Welcome! The car could go another 200,000 miles if it was taken care of, and if not, you get to put in a stronger engine!

Oh mr. politically correct. You said it wrong. They're your original parents. In fact, when you were little, your parents almost lost you! But they didn't go deep enough into the woods.

You have nothing on me, Dan. Your mother threw you out and kept the bath water!
Topic-related... BP is really nice. I worked on a BP Turbo MX-3 and drove in two. They are sure fast and fun!
With the miles you're racking up on your little 4cyl, I would say it would be a well-spent investment swapping out.

Re: Greetings from the new guy.
it actually still runs really good, but not perfect. I think I have an injector that's going bad or something. But it still has pretty good power from abut 3500-5000 rpm. Oh, and it gets somewhere around 30 mpg, so I'm happy with that.
