Hey all,

Names Kevin im 22 years old and i live in ontario. I have loved the precidia for about 7 years. i was in grd 9 or 10 and on my bus route to school i drove by a red precidia everyday and i used to stand up and literally walk to the back to see it as long as possible. i always told my self i'd own one. unfortuanately, i've had some bad luck in the past few years so it hasn't really been possible for me to own one. But alas, my wifes brother bought one about 6 months ago and he drove it till the trip permit expired and it sat in the driveway till christmas when my wife and brother in law surprised me with the keys and the ownership of a 93' MX-3 Precidia (black). the very same one that i spent the past month and a half lovingly cleaning snow off of just cuz i couldn't stand to see it covered. i have limited knowledge in the finer details of vehicles (worked for a mechaninc for 3 years and decided i didnt want to pursue as a career) so i only know a little bit more than the basics about cars really. But, ive been surfing this forum for about 3days solid now and decided to join after seeing the plethora of advice, how to's and all round good nature of the members. anyways i've rambled long enough. thanks for listeni-..i mean reading.

Kevin

That's one of the best MX-3 stories on here :) Congratulations!
I'm impressed that you did some research, so I don't have to say "Use the search!" :D
I love worklogs (hint). How many cylinders does it have?
You're going to love driving this car, and when you get used to it, you can upgrade, and love it all over again, like I did. I enjoy driving the stock one daily, but when I get to drive the fast one, it's a whole different beast; twice the power, handling, noise...

Even better! Look through the bottom of the intake manifold for a head code, and take a picture of the engine, so we can see what IM it has.
