Actually the MX-3 and the 323/ Protege for that matter are easy to break into as well. Without actually explaining how to do it on-line. All it would take is a large screw driver in the right place to break the door handle. Some kids tried to do this on my car years ago but we all found out that loc...

Like I said they are standard of the shelf industrial sleeve bushing. It appears to be a Garlock (the name of the manufacture) sleeve bushing. Also Igus (another manufacture) makes poly-bushing the exceed the performance of oilite bronze and some steel sleeve bearings that will probably also work. I...

If you have a SOHC is sounds like the ignitor is ready to fail. It is becoming a very common problem with a the older B series engine with the external coil distributor. It is even more likely to happen on a wet day. When it fails completely you will need to replace the distributor completely as the...

It is a lot easier to do the job with if you swap the front bulkhead to one from a AZ-3/ Presso. There still is some modifications that need to be done but not as extensive as modifying a MX-3 front bulkhead. As for the gap between the lights and the sheet metal. Originally I had thought about pie c...

Often the problem is that pressure is being applied from one side prying it out it causes the splined shaft of the CV joint to bind. Often the trick is to apply equal pressure at point 180deg apart.

I believe it is back s...

Yes all the KL-ZE have the mounting boss for the EGR on the heads and all the passages are drilled to pass the exhaust gasses to the IM. The only difference is that the straight neck IM doesn't have the passage for the exhaust gasses and the curved neck is just missing the interconnecting pipe. They...
