MadMaX3's 1993 MX-3 SE
Starting off small with my updates.
I will soon be tackling:
moon-roof,
break calipers,
muffler,
manual seat belts,
and Mazda 3 front seats
(Planning engine swap for sometime in the fall! )

Nice SE. I like it.
We all want to be fast and look cool. Cool changes but fast never does.

Re: MadMaX3's 1993 MX-3 SE
My sunroof is bent so it takes some help opening and closing!
I love it stock, but I want it faster!
I did manage to get my new muffler today, not sure if any of you noticed the 4 cylinder muffler on my V6. The guy I got it from just put it on the day I bought it. So this morning I went and got the stock one! It sounds muuuuch better now!

The stock v6 muffler sounds awesome. So are the Mazda 3 seats essentially bolt in? I've been looking at replacing my front seats since they are kinda uncomfortable.

I am sure Blake has enough parts laying around he could throw in some cams, headers, and a new intake mani in the meantime.... until your engine swap of course... very clean car!

Hahaha maybe mine is a little leaky or something, because I've got a nice growl/vroom sound going onkulluminati777 wrote:benyandthejets wrote:The stock v6 muffler sounds awesome.

Re: MadMaX3's 1993 MX-3 SE
You guys need to throw a straight through exhaust on, that sounds the best especially on the 1.8L V6.
Re: MadMaX3's 1993 MX-3 SE
Actually - KLZE and an LSD gearbox = approved.
The exhaust I had on the old car was perfect for the KLZE - improvised - but perfect. OBX headers, no cat, a resonator, and (get this) a muffler from one side of a dual exhaust stock Mustang GT. Quiet when it should be, good presence when it was wanted to be!!

Re: MadMaX3's 1993 MX-3 SE
The mazda3 seats don't just bolt in, unfortunately.
With the 4 cylinder muffler on it you couldn't hardly hear the car at all.
I don't have a cat, but the place I went didn't give two sh*ts they installed the muffler anyways.
When I test drove the car before I bought it there was no muffler at all and although it sounded really good, I would have gotten way too many tickets!
