Re: Wednesday engine vs Friday
What does aircon do? Ever tried switching it on and watching the rev counter? The power has to come from somewhere...aircon will have quite an effect on performance and mpg

Re: ABS or not?
Mine was retro fitted with ABS, so there's no badge on the back. The best way to find out is find a nice quiet bit of straight road and do an emergency stop. If you hear an electronic whine, and you don't skid all over the place, you've most likely got it!

Re: How much gas in our gas tanks????
Well, I don't know how big the tank is, apart from not big wnough, as I'm always in gas stations. I get around 240 miles to the tank as well (and mine's a V6) but hey, my gas costs more than yours.<P>Also, towards the bottom half of the tank, the gauge is up and down like a tart's knickers, so it's ...

Re: What don't you like...
Wow. Over here the scum tend to go for the Mercs, Subarus, TT's and Z3's. My MX-3 doesn't seem to get too much attention, thank heavens. But then, it's a 1995 plate, and doesn't look that fast. Ha - what do they know!

What don't you like...
About your MX-3?<P>I wish I had a bigger fuel tank so I didn't have to keep stopping for gas, and I wish people wouldn't park so close in car parks 'cos the doors are so long.<P>Other than that, she's a honey...

Re: hello all just wanted to know how many of u have had pro
OK, dizzy UK blonde-type-question here, but I'm guessing that by moon roof you mean sun-roof? Mine sticks when it's been shut for a while, it looks like thumping it to get it going is quite common! I don't feel so bad about doing it now! My passenger window switch broke, and would only work from the...

Re: KEYS...KEYS...KEYS
If you can't lock the glove compartment, you have what is known as the "Chauffeur's key" which is the secondary spare. The primary locks the glove compartment. Yup, need to go to a dealership!

Re: Any UK owners???
Do you ever worry about car jacking? I see all this stuff in the news about flash cars being nicked, and it makes you wonder. Are we going to be penalised by paying higher insurance premiums?

Re: Any UK owners???
Mine is definitely standard - I like to think of her as "classic elegance", or "concourse". I wish! I have a local garage that specialises in RX rotary engines - I imagine they'd do out of the ordinary tuning - Rotechniks, <A HREF="http://www.rotechniks.co.uk" TARGET=_b...

Re: Any UK owners???
Me! MX-3's are few are far between here and the only ones I see locally are in my RVM as I overtake them!

Re: found my car :-(
Sounds like you could do with some barbed wire and electrimifyed fencing - but if the scum want something they'll find a way to get it. Such is life. [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img] Will your premiums go up?

Stereo problem
If I switch off my ignition whilst the CD player is running, the whole stereo shorts out. We've had a couple of in-car audio specialists look at it, plus the unit has been back to Clarion, but no luck. Has anyone else seen this? We found that pulling the unit out and replacing resets it, and it work...
