Had to trade in my 1995 Mazda MX3
I bought Froggy 6 years ago for $1800, throw $2002 at it for maintenance. It had only 48K miles and I put 42K miles on it. All in all I think it was a relatively good car and helped me haul a bunch of things around. It made it to Chicago from St Louis so I can see Dream Theater The Astonishing Live....

Re: Raytheater 1995 Mazda MX3 Froggy
SuperK, I am going to mount it this Friday and I will post a pic. Thanks for the kind words. Kulluminati, thanks! It was the only Satin Green available at Lowe's. I think I am going to change the color to Satin Blue in 2 years. Which shouldn't be hard at all. This MX3 is really the first time I actu...

Re: Raytheater 1995 Mazda MX3 Froggy
Rustoleum paint job, 1 year later. The paint works! Not bad at all for a paint job that cost $100. There are no chips, no flakes, no cracks in the paint. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h316/raytheater/CIMG0098.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h316/raytheater/CIMG0097.jpg The rear emblem hand...

Re: distributor problem
The car is a 1995 RS 1.6 engine. There is a very light oil, maybe a 1/2 teaspoon worth inside the Disty. I think I am going to redo the Valve gasket cover because I can see oil leaking from there. And clean the Disty and attempt to reseal everything. I know it is not $400 dollars, but he quoted me $...

Re: distributor problem
He initially said that the valve cover gasket, and disty oring needs to be replaced for 160. Then the mechanic told me that I have to replace the disty, valve cover gasket, disty oring for the price of 605 dollars.
He showed me oil in the Disty and said that it is leaking as well. Sigh.

distributor problem
For about a week, I have notice drops of oil under the engine bay. Took the MX3 into a mechanic and he told me that oil is leaking from the valve cover, and I can see that it is. This will be about 150 to fix. However he also pointed out that oil is leaking from the distributor as well. Now before b...

Re: Raytheater 1995 Mazda MX3 Froggy
Yeah, that's Fedex. USPS is much cheaper though.
I tried to ship a box to Japan and Fedex quoted me 143 dollars. USPS did it for 65.
Up to you though, I don't mind helping another MX3 owner.

Re: Raytheater 1995 Mazda MX3 Froggy
Next is the GS lip that I got from wagZE. It is in horrible shape, with both sides having cracks that were fixed with fiber glass. The old fiber glass needs to go, and that will be interesting, I hope I don't break it any further. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h316/raytheater/Unknown-1.jpg http:...

I live near St Louis Missouri. If you want it, I can go take off the front bumper and mail it to you.

Raytheater 1995 Mazda MX3 Froggy
I was looking for a beater that I can use just to drive to work and around town, and just to keep miles off my other car. I love hatches or coupe, for their usefulness and overall style. After searching for a while, I found this Mazda MX3 on CL for 2400 dollars. 4 people looked at it and never bough...

Re: Headlights, A pillar, Driver floor mat.
Okay, got the headlights cleared, well, somewhat cleared. My brother had a set of the headlight cleaner and left it, so I stole it.
So...I am going to try toothpaste next time.
