Re: Hi everyone! (Updated with pics!)

I would not swap an engine at the first sight of smoke. look more into it. now is your chance to start learning more about how to diagnose and fix things when they are bad, not throw them out altogether! assuming its a faulty head gasket (and i'm not saying it is) that just means a 30 dollar part a...

Re: Hi everyone! (Updated with pics!)

Uhhh... before even thinking about buying a replacement K8 engine, you'll want to look into the KL-ZE. There's a ton of info in the V6 FAQ, and pretty much everywhere else that you look. If you just buy the replacement K8 without finding out anything about the KL-ZE, you will want to gouge your eye...

Re: Hi everyone! (Updated with pics!)

BAH! get rid of that automatic before it craps out on you. my 3 had two rebuilt automatic trannies. of course, that was paid for by its previous owner. after the second blowout, he decided hell with it and i basically got it for a steal! ATX to MTX is by all means a worth-while swap. welcome anyway...

Re: Hi everyone! (Updated with pics!)

Wow! That's what I call a deal bro! Congrats also on joining our family here, and we all look foward to you doing incredible things with that MX-3! By the way, unless you decide to do a manual swap on the tranny, make sure to do a oil and filter change on it ASAP... and also get a tranny cooler, if...

Re: Hi everyone! (Updated with pics!)

Well worth what you paid for it. If your mechanically inclined at all, you may want to look into the ATX to MTX swap. There's a lot of info on here about that, and many other things. Welcome!! :werd: P.S. *Mooneggs* You changed your avatar. Something just doesn't seem right. Careful, you may open u...

Re: Hi everyone!

Thanks! Alright, well I went out and got some better pictures, and some of the interior. As you can see, it is in good need of a paint job, but that's no big deal. The interior is rather clean, so i'm happy. I will probably wash it and give it a wax to see if I can bring a little life back to the pa...

Re: Hi everyone!

yeah I got the PM and the lip is definately pending to someone else, but I've still got the bumper but I really don't know how I will ship it... it's huge! Oh well it's cool! Main thing I was looking for was the lip, mine is hanging/cracked/chipped, and not in very good condition at all..and the bu...

Re: Hi everyone!

Good job on getting such a good deal for your first car. My MX-3 is my first *good* car and I'm still paying it off a year and a half later. Looks like that car will definitely benefit from a new paint job, looks like its pealing a bit... either that or its just the flash from the camera. Well, tha...

Re: Hi everyone!

Alright, I got a couple of pics, but..be warned, the pictures SUCK, it was getting dark so I couldn't use flash without it looking like crap, and I have not washed it yet, so...these are basically just teaser pics. Also, the wheels on it are just some that my uncle was going to use on his Civic and ...

Hi everyone! (Updated with pics!)

Well, I just joined and figured i'd introduce myself (I hope this is the right place to do it?). So, I got my 1993 MX-3 with the V6 off of eBay, for $186. Yeah, you read it right, $186. The guy said that the car wouldn't turn on, and there was oil on the spark plugs and whatnot. So, he figured somet...
