Where is the best place to get parts ONLINE

Post by stosh »

Stock OEM parts I'm talking about. I'm not modding my car, I'm just trying to get it to look original.<p>This is my first post here. I'm new, I'm using my girlfriends mx3 as my daily and just want it to run well.<p>Also there oil leaking from the engine. It only leaks when the engine is running and it's getting into the spark plugs fouling them up. I thought it might have been the head cover gasket but that doesn't seem to be it. I have a 92 mx3 4cyl SOHC. Any help?

Well I guess you know what happened, I busted one of the bolts. Dooh!
Anyway the oil leak stopped.
I replaced the plugs and the air filter, the car runs like a top now.
I need to replace the wires and the distributer cap and rotor next.
