I dont THINK they have floor mats but if they do you can have them. I dont pick up the car until friday. I just wanted to put a list here while i was thinking about everything amd planning my trip and what get off the car. I hope (but i doubt it) that is has MS sway bars but hey you never know

Woohoo, well fingers crossed then! I glad I'm staying on this coast now, it'll make west coast meets doable for me for the extended future. ;D You touch down next month, right? I hope it does too, duplicating the existing one would be easier on cork sport!

Honestly the dash's are easier than you think to pull.. OMG if you could get take it off & cram it in the back of your car when you ship it to the states. That would be incredible. A RHD mx-3 would be even more rare. &&& yea save all that stuff & anything that looks different than oem US parts.

So after 849 mi, 15 hours 58 mins and a 2 day pit stop in london I have returned. The car is in my drive way now I will post up pics later tonight and WOW was it hard to drive a right hand drive car and shift with your left hand. The car made it with no problems what so ever. I was a little worried an old car like this driving for so long but it got us back safe. If anyone of you ever go to the UK the pound is CRAZY expensive. I thought the Euro was bad. The most expensive part of the trip was the 276 dollars we spent to get on the stupid english channel train and the million toll booths we went through in france. Also while in the UK we stayed at a pretty nice hotel that wasnt expensive........until you check in. The mini bar was beond belief. I know stuff normally cost alot but 4 POUNDS for a half can size pepsi???!!?!?! The parking garage doesnt tell you how much you owe until you leave and it was 10 pounds each car we had with the coversion it was 30 dollars for parking in total for 2 cars one night! The city of london was so beautiful. I recomend EVERYONE going before they leave this earth. Just dont drive there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take a taxi,bus or SOMETHING please i warn you lol. People in the UK all drive like there cars are stolen. Even the buses drive crazy!! and teh traffic circles are not circles at all like in germany. There more like mini race tracks until you get to your exit then you have to attempt to leave. It was JUST like it is in the movies lol

I wish i could bro but im trying to sell the car before i leave on NOV 1st. I wasnt going to just scrap it. The body is in pretty good shape (rare on a MX3) and the engine is in prestine shape. I just put 849 mi, 15 hours 58 mins on it according to google and my MX3 would have died at 5 hours lol

UK expensive? No way! Hahaha

The worst part of RHD cars for me wasn't the manual shifters but at first it was the signals and the wipers being switched but afterwards it was the auto shifter, I'd always feel weird pressing the button on it and put it in gear.

Depends on if its UK/Irish Spec or JDM. UK/Irish cars have the indicators on the left, JDM on the right.

they were on the right. The car takes a minute to get used to with you trying to blink and you ony turn the wipers on fast i made alot of people mad without signaling before doing stuff because i kept forgeting about the switch

Sounds like you had a fun but expensive time . Glad to see you back .

trip sounded fun, excited to see pictures of it soon

on top of having a mazdaspeed MX3 (or owning everything for it) my other car dream is owning or driving a JDM Mazda MX3 and i have accomplished that mission.

aha yeah Londons so not funny to drive in, i usually get the coach up to see my Bro, no wonder he drives a tank (range rover) you need it,lol

car looks bangin and oh look the steering wheels on the right side!

Congrats on the purchase !!

It's cool man ;D

Btw, I shift left handed in my LHD all the time, I'm a weirdo.

Well, I'm a lefty too...

very nice man!
anybody have dibs on the window visors? i'd be interested =D

Holy awsome RHD MX-3. With all the goodies. This will def.. be one of the coolest mx-3's in the States.
