After a lot of years of my MX-3 being stored in a garage (cannot count it, but maybe 8-9 years), only started from time to time, I am bringing her back to life. Getting back to stock spec incl. removing Eibach ProKit springs, 4-circle tail lights, putting back 15" mazda/enkei alloys, new set of...

Hello friends! I am just repairing my distributor and I have ordered and received Beck&Arnley disty coil. I was so happy until the moment I took multimeter in my hands. It seems like the new coil has double of resistance of the old one, which only was present in newer distributors. Checked the c...

I've got a spare set of EU vents for old dash style with ability to close each vent duct individually with an extra wheel on the side. The set consists of center and side vents with extra EU hazard switch and white printing of an icons. Flaws: 1) glue residue on the top of the centre vents, can be s...

SuperK, yes, it is left-hand drive. I will post more pictures when I take them (on Saturday I believe).

Hello friends, I will be getting a set of glass headlights in nice condition with all brackets and stuff around. I am not sure now if they have electro-leveling or not, I will post more details when I get them. Anyway, is anybody interested in this set? :) I've got another spare set for my car so th...

Please, is there any way to check ignition module in distributor? I can easily disassemble it, but I'd like to know how to check if it is within specs or not. I've checked coils and they're bad, so it would be great to know if a new module is required in my disty. Thank you!

Daninski: I've checked fuel ramps connectors twice, they're connected tight and made that "click" sound when connected. You're absolutely right my disty is very old, I believe it is the first version of this kind of distributor, that's why I want to exchange all internal parts, because I t...

i have brand new enuine mazda thermosensor, will try to do tps adjustment

it was a bad idea to buy this car back in 2006, to be honest i did not have that much money to buy two new sensors, only one was faulty. parts here are way more expensive than in the States or Canada

Mine is all-stock K8, no mods, stock setup, stock filter, plugs, wires. I was told by several MX-3 K8 owners they run out of fuel after 400 km when they drive hard, with normal driving they can do 600 km without problem. My O2 are old, front one is original from 1993, rear one is Bosch replaced 4 ye...

Ryan, my fuel mileage .. when I drive normally - shifting between 2500 - 3200 rpm and driving 50 kmh, 90 kmh, or 110 kmh, my tank is empty, really empty after 400-450 km. I don't try to drive harder, fuel would run off much quicker. :( I can feel a strong fuel smell coming out of the exhaust. I also...

Hello friends :) After a long time I have probably found a problem in my MX-3's ignition system. My problem is primary coil in distributor, I've checked resistance and it is 1,6 Ohm instead of 0,85 Ohm (max). Searching the internet I've found out there are more parts in the disty than the coil and i...

Friends, I know newly rebuilt engines take more oil, I am just confused and worried. This is my fourth engine rebuild (second of this engine). I rebuilt engine on my sister's Astina 323F in summer 2010 in one day and the engine runs like new, only took 0,2 litres of oil and since then no more oil bu...

Dear friends, after the first positive impressions with freshly rebuilt engine I am experiencing more and more problems and I am thinking of getting rid of this MX-3 crap, really. :( I am so upset.. and sad. So what happened? I completely rebuilt engine in summer, new rings, HLA set, gaskets all aro...

Today I exchanged disty cap and rotor which I got from Solo_Ryder. :) I had a lot of smoke coming out of the tailpipe, so I thought it could be disty cap and rotor, since my cables and sparkpugs are new. There's still smoke anyway (when the engine is cold and it's freezing outside), but the smell is...
