Love these worklogs, really shows just how much hard work goes into a car of this quality.

By the way, just noticed, where's your front indicators?

Cheers! :)

Just checked the sticker in the door well and it is indeed a Special Edition. Can't figure out the engine type though, have nowhere to reference the codes.

Are there any easy ways to tell if it's a KF?

I love the S1 Designs wide body concept posted in another thread (can't find it at th mo) and just found this on a Euro MX-3 site and I really like it (not keen on the wing tho, and needs wider wheels in those arches):

Yeah I have to be honest, I can't believe my luck so far. I never for 1 minute thought that the auction would end for £250, I was ready to go up to £600-£700. Having just 80k on the clock is the icing on the cake. As soon as it's sunny out again I'll get some photos of the interior since they are th...

I'm just ordering my ZE now :) You're right about the reliability though. Even with the oil leaks and problems I managed to drive the MX-3 the full 3 hour journey back only stopping once to top up the oil. She only felt lumpy at one junction too, if the guy hadn't told me I wouldn't have thought the...

Phobea 94 MX-3 GS SE

Just bought the car as "spares or repairs" (see this thread), took these pics as soon as I got it home after the 11 hour round trip. http://www.spencerlavery.com/junk/mx3/newprojectblack/P3051734.jpg http://www.spencerlavery.com/junk/mx3/newprojectblack/P3051736.jpg http://www.spencerlaver...

I've got some pics from ebay but they're not too great so I'll post some better ones when I pick it up on Saturday. In a gorgeous twist to what has already been a fantastic deal, I've just run a plate check on the car (seemed to good to be true) and it turns out that it's an SE. It's a '93/'94 plate...

[WTB] KL-ZE in the UK

Any contacts, web sites, shops you know that could help me source one would be great.

Just not comfortable with shipping one from the US/Japan myself as the shipping in case I need to return it would be extortionate.

Ok guys I bit the bullet and bought it. Paid £250 in the end (equivalent of 500 USD) and she's apparently driveable so I'm picking her up next weekend and taking her straight to the shop to find out what's wrong. I'm desperate for a ZE now though, and I just can't source one in the UK at all. Any of...

Sorry guys I was misinformed about the other MX-3, it's actually a 1994 model, which I personally prefer anyway as it has the older style seats. The UK models never got the new shaped dash anyway, not even the newest models. I should probably have explained a few things aswell, my old MX-3 was compl...

Oil and power leaks - major problem?

Hi guys, Long time reader first time poster coming all the way from the sunny shores of southern England here. To cut a long story short, my beloved '96 V6 had a fight with a tree one icy night and I loved her so much I can't get another quick enough. Unfortunately though my insurance didn't cover i...
