Re: My 1.6 16v

Re: My 1.6 16v

Once again, it's been a while since I've been on here, so here's a few updates: I've been trying and trying to find an OEM front lip or a JDM front lip but have come up with nothing (or felt like I will have to sell a body part!) so went to a Seat garage and bought this: http://i117.photobucket.com/...

Re: My 1.6 16v

not bad not bad. hope all goes well with the build. but as a suggestion instead of shipping your cover to get powder coated you could possibly do it your self to save a ton of money. im sure high temp spray paint will work as a cheap substitute. i know you can buy your own powdercoating gun for che...

Re: My 1.6 16v

Wow. I haven't been on the international site for a long time, so time to update you guys. As you know when I got the car a few months ago it needed some tidying up. So, where was I?

Re: MX-3's on TV

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-DYNyF02dI 15 seconds in - How Turbochargers Work Not exactly TV but it's how stuff works! I'm pretty sure that's a CRX, it looks too high and short to be an mx3. Yeah, I'd definately say it's a CRX, if you notice the rest of the cars in the video are all Hondas.

Re: My 1.6 16v

Nice looking car man. You may want to do some research on BP swaps rather than sink any money into that engine. They've made it very hard to do engine conversions here in the uk from what I've read recently without spending big money. One day I may think about it but due to emmissions Tax and insur...

My 1.6 16v

Sorry if I get this wrong or confuse anyone on here (I'm from the UK). Well last weekend I bought my mx 3 for a very reasonable £375 gbp (don't know the price in $ but it was a complete steal).

As I say, it is in need of some work but I have started it already. Once I fugure out the forum I shall post some pictures and pl...
