Well, I've got a few "buy junk cars" notes, but I don't think that's what the thread is about... :wink:

Re: bent shift shaft on trans now what?!

Sorry guys, I don't mean to be an a-hole, a douche, a d---, or start a flame war. The op said he bent the "shifter shaft on the trans". Now, assuming he meant this shaft: http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss247/Inodoro_Pereyra/IMG_0028.jpg He's gonna have to drop the tranny. Otherwise, if...

Re: bent shift shaft on trans now what?!

Sorry, you do.
If your shifter shaft is bent bad, you have 2 options:

1. Get another tranny.

2. Take it out, open it (it can be complicated if you don't know what you're doing), take the shaft off, straighten it, get everything back together.

Re: you guys ever get notes left on your windshield?

You know, I'm sort of disappointed in the MX-3 people around here, except of course, the guys who are on here. I try to wave, blink my lights, whatever, when I see another MX-3, and they don't even acknowlege me. I left a note on one that was white with the GS rims painted black, and was really cle...

Re: Transmission Weight

If the G series is the 5 speed, it weighs 69 Lbs and change. Yeah, I weighed it.

Re: Blinkers Turn on When Turning Steering Wheel :(

If they're there, it's for a reason. I wouldn't cut them if I were you.
Try to figure out what are they there for.

Pranks you pulled on non-mazda owners

Ok, the title is pretty much self explanatory. I like to have fun, and find non mazda owners to be an endless wealth of victims for all kinds of pranks. For example, one of the managers at my job had a civic hatchback. One of my most celebrated pranks at the time was to take 4 spray can nozzles (we ...

Re: Meanie Rehab: Who's a MX-3.com Meanie?

I don't have a beef w/ honda/nissan owner, only ricers in general. Why hate nissan, they have some nice cars, although I hate the exterior styling on their new cars. I don't hate them. I don't hate honda owners either. I just make fun of them because they believe they're the coolest kids on town. S...

Re: Meanie Rehab: Who's a MX-3.com Meanie?

I'm an extreme meanie. Nasty really. Don't get me wrong: I always try to help when I can, but fuses don't come any shorter than mine. In my defense, I'm half Italian, half Spanish, so I guess it's in the genes... I'm also specially mean to honda-nissan owners, and my combination of a fairly good kno...

Re: 3" round tailpipe on 1,6 sohc base.Is it good?

I agree with wytbishop. You have to understand there's no such thing as a "bad exhaust". What does exist is a "bad exhaust for your application". For example, everybody knows factory exhausts are restrictive. Do you think engineers make them that way to save pennies on pipe? No, ...

Re: Beef between German and Japanese car enthusiasts?

I really like SOME German cars, same way I really like some Japanese cars. For example: I would KILL, to have a Z4M :love: the same way I'd kill to have a miata, or an RX7, but I wouldn't be caught dead on a beetle, or a jetta, or a civic...you get the idea. But you gotta love a manufacturer that ta...

Re: Any Miata fans out there? It's the mx3's hot cousin

I LOVE miatas, and I'd LOVE to get one.
But I'm with Fowljesse: getting beat my a miata is not a big deal, everybody knows they're fast, and they can be upgraded fairly easily.
But, don't you love to see their faces when you smoke them on an mx3?

Re: FAILED! Stories of hope!

Ok, here's my tidbit of despair... Little over a year ago, I was unemployed, and having a real hard time. So one day, I went to my nearest Advance Auto Parts to apply. They weren't hiring, but one of the employees told me another store needed people, so there I went. To make a long story short, a we...
