Any one interested in setting up a meet later on in the month before the snow flies?
Im just wrapping up the engine repairs and i would love to meet some other members.
Whos in?

Thanks for the aid, ive managed to find a couple things in my area but i scored out on a wicked deal. I called the only wrecker in strathmore, after failing to find any thing in calgary or out lying area. My local auto wrecker tracked one down for me. SOHC 16v 1.6L complete with cam, rockers and rai...

Nice looking car, seems you have done quite a bit and im sure to come as any enthuisiest knows....a project is never done haha.
cant wait to see what else you have planned for it

I go through autos like i go throught socks....So i had no luck with a head for my car and i started t...

Im in the calgary area, if i luck out tonight ill be posting in the wtb section and looking at the for sale section. If i luck out ill just machine the head and replace valves. Not a difficult task just time consuming.

Ive also prepped the hood for a prime and color match, i have a spray gun but want to wait till better weather for mixing paint. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b139/holmesa/1993%20Mazda%20MX3/20140911_193921.jpg Ive Found evidence of bondo to try and repair dents, the repair was done decently, by...

So after removing the head i pulled the cam and this is what i found, perhaps hard to see. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b139/holmesa/1993%20Mazda%20MX3/20140910_190130.jpg Lobe with a worn flat spot. IIRC this was an exhaust valve so it wasnt opening correctly. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums...

While im uploading pictures ill do a little babbling, So as stated in my previous post i went to the wreckers in search of a head, all i could find was one mx-3 with the v6 so no good for me. On the upside my remaning head gasket and intake gasket came in. So here is the car the day i brought it hom...

You can't beat the little B6 when it comes to a cheap drive. great on gas. But you definitely can beat it when it comes to power. Once you do some research you'll probably decide on 4cyl stays 4cyl, and v6 stays v6 because of the work and money involved to switch between platforms. If/when you get ...

Hi welcome to the site. A lot of people swap out the 1.6 for the 1.8 4cly for more power. The auto tranny is a sore point and is probably at the end of it's life again some people swap the car over to a standard trans. Other than that you seem to have things well in hand. These cars are a lot of fu...

Block heater is already in, I will be able to suffice with the all seasons that are on there, by no means will it be good in deep snow but definatly untill the snow flies, itll give me some time to get winters on any ways
