Re: Strange engine

well I did adjust the throttle cable because there seemed to be some slack . I quickly put it back to factory location. I did notice today that my intake boot is all cracked and it looks like the PO tried electrical tape in a few areas. I'm going to gettomods.com and picking up some electrical tape ...

Strange engine

I'm having this issue with my engine surging. Almost as if it had massive turbo lag. Its not all the time, and seems to do it mostly on cold starts while driving before normal operating temperature. I'm sure this has something to do with my some what crazy idle situation. That seems to be getting be...

Re: 802mx3 - 1996 RS

Sorry no pictures today. By the time I got out of work it was pouring. But I'm now wondering if I should go the B6-t route. Due to the OBD2 factor. As far as the BPT swap, I will look into that. I really want to turbo this engine but will have to see I guess. I would love to hear others opinions. Po...

Re: So wait,what?

I should also mention I liked the "engine bay" of extrememx3 I'm from a small state in the US called Vermont. My car was made in 03/96 I would have figured it had an airbag by then. But it really doesn't seem like I have one. Which is fine with me. But I'm now starting to wonder if its rea...

802mx3 - 1996 RS

Ok so I've decided to make a work log of this car. History : Car is a 1996 RS that I bought on 4.17.09. I'm the second owner. This car is canadian spec and a 5-speed. No air bags, no AC, no power windows, no cruise control, no sun roof. I absolutely love it!! The previous owner took pretty good care...

Re:

maybe you could be interested in an installment of a type of alarm system. Cant remember what its called but basically if you dont have your key in the ignition the starter will not turn over without thus leaving your car almost un stealable. Plus it lowers insurance. funny, my car is from canada w...

Re: So wait,what?

Ok, I think some people might be a little confused. Just to clear things up. I'm not coming from the honda world. My initial comments were asking why there isnt as much aftermarket options for the B6. I find it odd that the aftermarket tunning industry hasnt bothered with the mx-3 rs. Yet, a 1994 ba...

Re: So wait,what?

yeah, I understand that they're all custom. I just dont get why a pretty peppy little I4 doesnt have a aftermarket. What with all the civics,integras, etc... All of them gone to rice hell at this point . People are looking for alternatives. In my area of the world you can not find a clean unmolested...

So wait,what?

So someone please explain to me why there isnt any real aftermarket for the RS. I recently bought my 3rd mx-3 Rs and am determined to make this a quick little car. I'm not doing a BP swap! Anyway, its been years since I was on this site and was wondering if any good aftermarket has arrived yet. You ...
