Corksport Mazdaspeed Front Bumper

so apparently the mazda speed front bumpers that corksport.com used to sell have been discontinued and now must be ordered in a group of 10 units to have an order placed so if anyone is parting out or has one sitting around I would gladly purchase it from you

Re: RS_OBD'oh_2's 1996 RS + T

hey OBD'OH I had a few questions in regards to your transmission setup. I know you switched to a G-series tranny... my questions are: 1) did the G series axels pop right in or did you have to mod the passenger side where the half shaft bolts to the block? 2) what kind of clutch set up are you runnin...

Questions regarding (JDM) mazda BPT engines and our mx3's

my question is... is swapping a jdm mazda bpt engine (out of a jap mazda 323) the same process as swapping a north american mazda protege BP engine? or is there a lot more involved? and yes i know the obvious like the whole turbo and IC install would be different but im asking if the mounts/harniss/...

Re: 4 CYL Cold Air Intake Questions???

Thanks for the info guys...much appreciated

Josh- where did you get the bent aluminum tubing you used for the air pipe? It looks like its custom snaked to run between the battery and engine? Did you get the tubing from a metal depot? Canadian tire? Home depot? Ebay?

Thanks again

Re: RS_OBD'oh_2's 1996 RS + T

hey friend

was wondering if theres any new news on the mx3? any tuning, storys, any new mods?

after puting in the wrench time and the $$$ were you happy with the results achieved? was it enough of a upgrade in your mind to have spent that kind of money and your time?

thanks always

Re: the_twig_187's 1996 MX-3 RS (lots of upgrades)

New update...put on my Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 Track Tires (215/45/17) they are super stickey and provide amazing handeling in corners, dont want to show off but I took the curve on the highway ramp at 140 KPH and the car just stuck to the road as if I was driving 40 KPH http://carphotos.cardomain...
