I just changed my timing belt on my 94 with a V6. 3.7 hours of labour + $146 belt = $393 (Canadian dollars). My MX-3 has 169,000 km's so the original timing belt got me that far.

I'm going to get the timing belt changed on my 94 V6 MX-3 (165,000 km). Is there anything else I should have the mechanic check/replace while he is changing the timing belt?

Here's my dilemma: the interior lights don't come on when I open the doors, but they do work when I turn them on manually by pressing the buttons next to them. And the buttons at the bottom of the door aren't stuck, so that's not the problem. I recently had my car into the shop to get some body work...

My '94 gs get about 300 km/tank in the city, about 500km on the highway. The mpg drops a bit in the winter too.

I sent Corksport a money order.

Corksport is pretty good. I ordered some rear mud flaps from them last winter and it took about 3 weeks to get them here to Saskatchewan. No problems. Prices are in US dollars.

I've just gone through 2 Saskatchewan winters with the Yokohama Avid T4's, only because at the time I couldn't afford a new set. They were terrible! They're like racing slicks, very little traction. I just purchased 4 Bridgestone Potenza RE910's about one month ago, but there hasn't been any snow to...

Hmmm, it could be a tough find, at least in the 205/55 R15 size. There aren't many tires in that size. FYI, I just purchased 4 all-season Bridgestone Potenza RE910's from Kal-Tire for about $115/each, total price of about $600 (including taxes, wheel balancing, etc.) Eagle GT II's were priced at abo...

MX3new, what's your price range and are you looking for all-season's or winter tires?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Matt_vn:<BR>[QB]<BR>Now for you fellow Canadians, where do you think is the best market to buy an MX-3? Here is Saskatchewan it sucks, way over priced.

I have a '94 GS, loaded including power windows and door locks and 155,000 km's. No major problems yet, just had to replace minor stuff like tires and exhaust and a cv boot. Not sure if the cv joints are still the originals or if they were changed before I bought it.

I usually drive until the orange light on the fuel gauge comes on. I can get about 300 km's city driving and close to 600 km's on the highway. That's in the summertime, the mpg in city driving drops a bit more in the cold Canadian winters too.

The same thing happens to mine too after it rains....the moisture makes the rubber form a really tight seal, so tight that the motor alone won't open the sunroof. All I do is gently push it up at the back to help it get going.

Thanks for the advice 93mxrgs re: clutch.
