Re: Apex springs any good?

I had a friend put them on his RS and it dropped the car about 1.5 and it looked and felt quite good. If the price is right, absolutely grab some!

Re: come waste 10 seconds of your life...

I just rolled over 160000 km a few days ago. The car feels faster, more reliable and more fuel efficient than when I got it at 84000 km. Now THAT's a good feeling. :D

Congrats!

Re: what is it about our cars................

Yep, it's that X factor. Every car from that those years minus Mazda's own RX-7 looks like *** now, but we rock. It's worth celebrating for sure. Here's to another 10 years of looking modern! :2thumbsup:

Re: yo is this true?.......

He's just trying to make you screw up your car because he's jealous that you have an MX and he's got a Crapalier. That WILL only make you idle fast, which makes it easy to launch fast, but then what? Pointless. He's just silly. I would be too if my steering wheel looked like that... :confused2: <sma...

Re: I wish this guy luck =)

I love new MXers, they always say the greatest things. I still remember March 25, 2001 when I drove mine for the first time. It was like falling in love... :love:

I'm never selling the damn thing. Like, ever.

I hope this guy succeeds and he loves it as much as we love ours!

Re: how much faster is the V6?

My friend has a GS and I have a 96 RS. We are both mad convinced that my RS is faster. Obviously it's not, but the shorter gear ratio and angry 4-banger noise make the RS feel just as fast, if it more. Unless you're racing or collecting stats, the RS will do you just fine. :2thumbsup: I wish the RS ...

Re: First time add mods to car

Personally I'd go with suspension, then audio. Lower the car and fix all the problems (surely some parts are worn out), then some nice big wheels make the car look sexier than the prom queen. Audio is always good...and is usually the easiest to do. Show before go, though - always! (Sorry, I'm just b...

Re: best 1/4 mi. times?

Seeing as that I get 18-19 seconds, anything below that would be great! I read somwhere there was a drag MX3 that got 10.something. That's pretty amazing when you think about it. Try checking those drag sites, they have postings and results and some have MX3s on there, even if they're not that speci...

Re: A detailed explanation of the tradeoffs of larger diamet

Thanks for the guide, that's amazingly detailed. You forgot one thing though:

Big shiny wheels make the girls swoon. You can't call that a performance hit. Hehe.

Good work! :2thumbsup:

Re: Anyone else's ECU go goofy sometimes?

I've heard of this before. My friend's GS did the same thing. He went to the junkyard and pulled another GS ECU...never happened again. If it's free or close to it, it's worth a shot. But definitely check other things first...a short or a loose connector on a sensor or something. Good luck! BTW, wha...

The coolest thing just happened...

I was at my local Wal-Mart waiting to get a spot, when two guys walked up to my car staring at it. He knocks on the windows. I roll it down and he says to me: "Hey man...you got a ZE in there?" Wow eh? What is the world coming to when you get asked THAT question. I'm used to "What kin...

Re: Are PPL Getting rid of their MX-3s?

Yeah it seems that way doesn't it? I'm going to keep mine forever, even when I get another car. I will own the oldest MX in the world! And judging by newer cars, the MX will look like a recent modern car even 20 years from now. you ever get: "Whoa, is that a 2004?" "Yeah...it sure is....

Re: 4 to 5....lug

Honda Civic is the most popular "tuner" car in the world...and it's 4-lug and probably always will be. The selection of 4-lug wheels is staggering...so I don't believe this topic one bit!

Besides, 4 bolts weighs less than 5. Weight reduction! :D

Re: The biggest thing going on November 2nd

If you're going out drinking, make sure you have a DD...and make sure she's hot. (double entendre joke)

But of course...you friends probably want to take you out drinking just so they can drive your car. My friends try to pull that stunt every time. Suckers! I'd rather walk...

Happy Birthday!
