You are about 6 to 7 years to late. Many of the products you are asking for went out of production in 1999-2001 when almost ever company dropped the motorsport support for the BG 3239 (aka MX-3). The last company to make chassis and suspension reenforcements was a UK company that went out of busines...

That is funny there are a lot of people on the West Island that call me "Spook". This mostly because I suddenly disappear for weeks or months at a time and after almost 20 years my friend don't really know what I do for a living. Actually I'm almost like staff at Lazer and have been associ...

The guys at Lazer were telling me that you were in the store. One of the items you were asking about has been basically been discontinued for many years although it is still listed in the catalogs. The last time I talked to the factory tech reps back in '99-00 at a trade show in the T.dot, they said...

I'm 99% sure that they would save a part # for possible future replications.... so if someone designs and orders a test part they'd easily be able to make more... I Assume...? Yes they do keep this info on file. I have used them to make brake, suspension parts as well as other parts for other proje...

I designed my own mufflers and resonators for the MX-3 and had Richard at Brullen custom manufacture everything for me. They even gave the kit it's own part number and sold the semi chambers muffler resonator combo only as a universal P/N#. Some of the older guys out here in the east will probably r...

Yeah I saw that one but I wanted to keep it street legal. I ran my escort with headers and a straight pipe for years and I always felt guilty about it. We don't have emissions testing here but.. Actually in Quebec we do have testing but there is no annual inspection yet because it has been delayed ...

But If I revert to OBD-I, doesn't the ministry realise that a 96' should be OBD-II and just fail me instantly? I read that in states like NY they actually hook the OBD-II port up to the internet and it's fed directly to the head office..... if I bring in a 96 that should be OBD-II compliant (probab...

There at no other Calipers for a bigger rotor that are a direct bolt on. I have been working on a brake project for my car for the past few years.

The 1gen (BG/ CA) 323F/ Astina are the same the 2 gen CB 323F/ Lantis/ Astina are not. Just got a text message back from my friend in the tech dept at Koni No "yellows" list for the BG 323 chassis cars in any country even going back as far as the early 90's.

Actually Mazda liquidated all the MX-3 accessories back in 2000 Much of the surplus Mazda invertory was bought up by a Dutch company and shipped to Holland.

The only other car I could think of that "might" work is a 323, but since I wouldn't want to buy two stabalizers I would just buy the correct MX one first. Should be one on here from someone parting a MX-3. The ones from the 323/Protege will bolt-in without any problems except you will ne...

There was a discussion about this a couple months back. There have been several people including myself that have found ways to do it for various reasons. Actually sound like you need a freshen up your suspension. Sounds more like weak and worn existing suspension componants.
