'new '95 mx3
Posted: July 4th, 2010, 8:11 pm
Hey all, I just got a '95 mx3 (5 speed manual, standard 1.6 dohc b6) and was looking for opinions on several things that are getting fixed/replaced. This is my first mx3 and I am not too familiar with them.
The list is as follows (this is not a work log, looking to get opinions, The worklog has a lot of stuff to do):
Hood- cracked and covered by car bra, also the inner structure has broken welds- recommendations?
outer tie rod ends - probably will be replaced with moog
ball joints - probably will be replaced with moog
cv shafts - who makes the best/lightest?
missing rear wing - stock or aftermarket and recommendations (p.s. i would like to keep it relatively stock looking,
I don't like standing out for cops)
struts - monroe or KYB
engine - currently the b6, thinking about doing a NA BP swap ( i would like to keep good gas mileage, it gets about 34
mpg hwy right now)- current engine smokes on startup (blue), has bad vacuum and vsv's, leaks oil
vents - always fall to the down position, is there any way to fix this (they are the circular ones)
