MadMaX3's 1993 MX-3 SE

[MadMaX3]

Starting off small with my updates.
I will soon be tackling:
moon-roof,
break calipers,
muffler,
manual seat belts,
and Mazda 3 front seats
(Planning engine swap for sometime in the fall! )

Nice SE. I like it.

Whaaaaaaa!!! Keep it stock.....

Boooo!!!! Stock is boring!

And what do you mean about sunroof in the first post? Need replacing?

[MadMaX3]

My sunroof is bent so it takes some help opening and closing!
I love it stock, but I want it faster!
I did manage to get my new muffler today, not sure if any of you noticed the 4 cylinder muffler on my V6. The guy I got it from just put it on the day I bought it. So this morning I went and got the stock one! It sounds muuuuch better now!

The stock v6 muffler sounds awesome. So are the Mazda 3 seats essentially bolt in? I've been looking at replacing my front seats since they are kinda uncomfortable.

I am sure Blake has enough parts laying around he could throw in some cams, headers, and a new intake mani in the meantime.... until your engine swap of course... very clean car!

the stock muffler sounds like a qeef IMO

But yeah dude sweet SE. Good choice on the tails and headlights. I think they update the car styling a tad

Hahaha maybe mine is a little leaky or something, because I've got a nice growl/vroom sound going on

You guys need to throw a straight through exhaust on, that sounds the best especially on the 1.8L V6.

[ganue]

Actually - KLZE and an LSD gearbox = approved.

The exhaust I had on the old car was perfect for the KLZE - improvised - but perfect. OBX headers, no cat, a resonator, and (get this) a muffler from one side of a dual exhaust stock Mustang GT. Quiet when it should be, good presence when it was wanted to be!!

[MadMaX3]

The mazda3 seats don't just bolt in, unfortunately.
With the 4 cylinder muffler on it you couldn't hardly hear the car at all.
I don't have a cat, but the place I went didn't give two sh*ts they installed the muffler anyways.
When I test drove the car before I bought it there was no muffler at all and although it sounded really good, I would have gotten way too many tickets!

[MadMaX3]

Little bit of an update, I painted my calipers finally, and I got a new muffler.

[Caleb T]

Really liking your car... Clean!! Keep up the nice work! I love the sound of the v6... I had a pacesetter catback on my probe 2.5 and loved it..

[MadMaX3]

Thanks! I still have plenty of things on my "to do" list that I'll be working on in the next few weeks!
