All original suspension here also. <BR> Tire pressure can play a role in mpg's.<BR> so what psi are you running front and rear?<BR> I'm sticking to my guns that replacing the oxygen sensors can return 1-2 mpg's if they have never been done and you have over 100k<BR> You could just be a lead foot :D ...

I have used both paint shops in the past here<BR>in Lake Worth, Fl. So far I'm a happy customer. But, and here's were it gets complicated, I have done my own prep work,<BR>from body work to taping things off. I also found it better to just strip the car of everything that would come off easily.<BR> ...

"235" thats not the best thats for sure.<BR> When I purchased the car new in late 93 I averaged 26-27 mpg. A good day on the highway could net me up to 32 mpg, even in the city my mileage was better than it is now. currently I'm getting 24-25 mpg average.<BR> now a good day on the highway ...

I would start by checking for cracks in the <BR>flexable intake tubing. Might be time to clean the throttle body. check the linkage for the accelerator and make sure its moving freely. I work in boca so maybe we could meet for lunch. I think better with the problem right in front of me,it will proba...

Just your typical seeping from valve guides<BR>while the car sits. keep an eye on your oil <BR>level.<P> Should you get it fixed? yes<BR> Do you have to get it fixed ? no<P> The oil thats being burned can cause other<BR>problems down the road. one of those is not<BR>a bent rod unless you let the oil...

How long does the warranty stay in effect?<BR> I would do my own compression test. This could tell you a lot about the condition of the new/used motor.<BR> check the fluid levels and make sure they look new.<BR> Stay on top of them if something doesn't feel right.<BR> Andy P. 93 GS <BR> P.S. A probl...

I have not replaced the master cylinder on the mazda yet, but the leak you talk of sounds like a cheap o-ring replacement. I would try replacing the o-ring first. If the <BR>mazda's resivoir is like most it should seperate from the cylinder, revealing the o-rings that seal it. If you can find the o-...

stock piping size is 1.75". my take on everything I have read on pipe sizing puts <BR>the 1.8 v6 at 2.25" max for performance<BR>Andy 93 GS

what your describing sounds like many of the things already replaced. I would first try a compression test. this would eliminate a possible blown head gasket,low compression,or<BR>some other major problems.<BR>Andy 93 GS

The fact that he claims to have owned the car for 5 years and doesn't know the model of the car may indicate a questionable background. <BR> But if he is really this sincere than here are a couple more things to be aware of when<BR>buying a used mx-3. Has the distributor been replaced or upgraded ye...

If you are going through the trouble of an engine swap I'd suggest the 2.5l motor. At the very least a kl03 or maybe a klze.<BR> the difference between the 4 cyl and the 1.8L 6 cyl is maybe 30-40 hp, but the klo3 would be 60-70 hp and the klze 90-100hp. Either of these motors would fit just as easil...
