Re: changing ecu

Ouch. Those prices you're getting quoted on are too high at least for me. SUPERCHIPS will replace your ECU with a brand new chip installed for $395.00 along with a lifetime warranty. Only thing is they need the entire ECU and you have to send it in. Anything over $1000.00 is definitely a rip-off jus...

Re: Guys in the Toronto Area!

I would recommend a tranny swap first (auto to manual). It'll be 1-2 seconds faster going 0-60. It would work with the auto but nobody has ever done it (auto ZE). I don't know if the auto transmission on the MX3 is any different than the auto that comes attached to the ZE. The MX-3 auto transmission...

Re: hood scoop

It depends on how your intake is setup. If it's a stock box then no hp gain just good looks. If it's open element filter, it'll create a ram air effect and little hp gains.

Re: 96GS how much

From just that info, it would range from $8,000-$10,000CDN in Ontario. Need to be more specific than that to get a more accurate quote such as how many kilos/miles, power options? any mods? clear title? auto or stick? Then you'll be able to narrow the range. Hope this helps.

Re: Timing Belt Still Pissing With Me _ I gonna HURT THE CAR

If it makes a squealing noise, it could possibly be the alternator belt. Best way to find out, take some WD-40 and spray a little on the belt, start up car and see if it still squeals. If the sounds get lower or stops, it's definitely the alternator belt. G'luck.

Re: Spark Plugs and Wires

Beru Silverstone spark plugs seems to work the best with the MX-3 but they are expensive. Well worth it as far as performance goes. If you're looking for good cheap plugs, go with NGK V-Groove plugs. Haven't tried any of the platinum plugs so can't comment on them. If you're looking to replace the w...

I'm looking to buy a shop manual for my '94 MX-3. Been looking for one for a while and can't find any for '94 models or higher. just 92-93. Is there a big difference? I know the interior will have some difference. Is there one for '94 models? Someone let me know. I want to perform a auto to manual t...

If anyone is really interested and wants to take the car for a test drive email me. It's a must see in person car to see how excellent in shape the car is in. Waxed and buffed every 3 months. No RUST! Interior very clean, one burn hole on back seat.

Re: Please Help

Replace the headlight bulb. I think it's a 9004 bulb. You can get one at a gas station if need to replace it immediately and don't have time to go to an automotive parts shop.

Re: Poll: your next car

My next car would definitely be a 1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT. I saw this car the other day and man was I jealous. It's a gorgeous car with 320hp STOCK! It's a 6 speed manual overdrive so I'm kinda excited to switch from auto to manual. Auto sucks but it's more convienent in traffic which I have to face ...

Re: Stalling...........

My car was stalling about 2 weeks ago. It happened when I was coming to a SLOW stop or when I accelerated very slowly from a stop position. It also kinda had a kickback (jumped forward then accelerated) to it when I accelerated quickly which I had to do or the car would stall. It turned out to be th...
