MX-3.com

I feel the same way, and I live near one of the largest cities in the world - and I NEVER see any MX-3's!

But, I am not moving to Canada - its too cold for me here and I can imagine how much worse it is up there - lol

Actually met these people in person, and way cool too - these guys know some stuff!

And, the best news, no leakage from my car at all - totally dry every morning so far - wOOt!

Next up, I will take some pics and post them sometime soon!

Thanks for all the help

Welcome to the site, now I am not the newest guy here anymore - lol

Well, I JUST got done with the valve cover, I will wait a couple days and report back and let you know that it is not leaking any longer (I hope)

Anyway, I met some really cool people (not in person, yet, but I will for sure!) through this forum, and I think I fixed my oil issue - so ... Thanks!

I am hoping that is NOT it - the oil is on top of that spot, at least I know for sure that the valve cover gasket needs to be done first, then I will re-re-clean it off and see what it looks like - pretty sure its just a valve cover though, no way oil is shooting up a foot into the air to cover the ...

Actually, I think it is still leaking now, but in the next couple days I should have the valve cover done, and then I will re-spray it down and clean it all off, let it dry a day, and hopefully I will be done.

Why did yours still leak after doing the O-ring and the Valve cover - did you ever get it ...

WOW - Thanks a ton Romeo - I will keep the suspension list you have in mind! And yes, I am for sure trying to go with the group buy for the bushings, if I can keep my money from my wife - lol

Also, July 11th (Savin and Boosted) I will not be able to attend this year, not only is my car not even ...

I just had to add a pic from my old car and one of the photo shoots ......

Not to mention the whole story on the build on my ...

Maybe we can do a "Midwest" meet - I would be interested then!

That is exactly it - and I did pay the whole $1600 too - mostly because after my research, and lurking on this site for a couple weeks, I noticed that this is a special car, not too many out there, and it shares a lot of parts with a couple other cars, so it was a chance to own a car that will cost ...

Wowza - nice mods!
Not right now, but maybe in the future?

Also, I would totally be willing to come up north - I am actually heading up that way today (Lake Forest)
Maybe next time we can at least hook up to meet - Shoot me some info on the "shop" like an address so I can google map it maybe I can ...

That would be the one - do you know this car more than I do already?

Yes, welcome to the club! Glad you're already getting some wrench time on the mx.
And yes, stupid place for the oil filter, or.... stupid place for the exhaust. :lol:

Oooo, where'd you happen to find your mx? It isn't by ...

How much? PM me with a link to pics and details, I might be interested?

Also, is there a trusted shop in the area? Or anyone else the is nearby I can wrench with?

So, I bought this car on Saturday and here is what I have done so far:

Distributor oil seal (when I bought it for $1600 USD, I think I got it cheap because it had a major oil leak - lol)
Oil change with filter (what a b---- of a place to put that thing!)
Fuel filter (yeah, that was fun too)
Basic ...

Done! No leaks and it seems like I have a great car now!
