Many questions about radiator cap, O2 sensor, and more...
Hi all mx-3 owners~ Does anyone know if those high pressure radiator caps sold on eBay reliable at all? My ride has 150,000km, and lately I found the temperature gauge rise above normal level (to roughly 3/4 or 4/5, close to the red line) when the car is parked with engine running right after some c...

Re: 100,000 HP engine, cant beat that.
How about an N-1 straight muffler the size of a bus?<P>How many car batteries you think is needed to start this baby up?<P>I say CVT is definitely needed for it...else, I can imagine the time it takes for each shift of gear, waiting for the engine to rev down or up...<P>and 0.1 MPG I should expect?<...

Cool trip
I am just wondering...seeing that there are so few MX-3 down in the state, won't it be cool if we have a trip down? Imagine how the americans see our cars and wonder if MazdaUSA is test driving new cars. Those in the state said MX-3's are so rare there right, so we take a tour down and let them know...

Re: MX-3 ride quality
They still act as suspensions over speed-bumps, but when going over small dent or crack over road surface the impact can be felt throughout the frame...<BR>Would it be better if I replace with aftermarket dampers than getting stock parts? As I assume aftermarket performance parts would cost around t...

Re: MX-3 ride quality
All struts and springs are stock, original size tires...ride just so bouncy...sometimes when driving over not-well-maintained road surface the interior seems going to fall apart...how do you all think about the quality of these stock suspensions compare to aftermarket parts?

KL-ZE...does it pass air-care?
ok...I heard many people swap this engine in place of the 1.8 V6, but is it actually legal to do so? Anyone in Vancouver, BC had this engine swap done and able to pass air-care? Was the result a safe distance from the failing standard?
