Just A Bunch of Questions... New, Been Looking Around.
Posted: June 21st, 2007, 1:46 am
Okay, so I am fairly new here, just been looking around a lot lately at different stuff. In the short time that I have owned my MX-3, I have noticed that it is really hard to find parts. I've had to fix some problems on mine, and there is still more to fix. I have a 96 1.6L DOHC. I aquired my car through a trade, for an old beater truck... There is still lots to do to it.
I know a lot of my questions are probably solved by searching hard on here... but I have had an extremely hard day. I am going to try and salvage my hood, which smashed against my windshield and pretty much bent the opposite direction of what I wanted it to. It doesnt look too bad, it still closes with a little force, it has some creases, but looks like it could be ironed out. Hopefully.
Well. the questions. First thing I am confused about, is the aftermarket listing of parts. Seen is how I own a 96, I find it decidedly strange that all the parts are listed 92-95, is there something different about my car from these years? I thought it wouldnt make a difference, but who knows sometimes.
I am good with metal forming and shaping (I run a press brake, which fairs good for me for making my own intake, heh heh), and fairly mechanical. I am wondering jsut how hard the 01-03 civic headlight conversion is... is it pretty straight forward? I have the evilyeti "how to", just wondering if anyone has done it, and if its accurate.
I think i might get some vents to put in my hood, to assist wist shaping it... I am really looking forward to getting this car in tip top shape. I have owned beaters and crappy cars ever since my talon was stolen, that was my baby, I was thinking about painting this car the same color, in memory of it. haha.. Well, I'll probably be on here somewhat often, hope to talk to you all soon!
See ya Around!
