Re: My car makes a bad sound! Help!!!!!

Any situation like that i would check the CV joint. Its one weak part on these cars and if ya hear thuimping etc then it could easily be the problem.

Re: Potential Fix for SOHC Idle problem

Just wanted to let ya know i did this modification and my idle seems to be much more stable. Before it would jump from 500 to 1000 all the time and would sometimes bog when i went to accelerate. Now it stays at 750 all the time and runs well.

Eibach Pro Kit?

Anyone out there with an Eibach Pro Kit (Lowering Springs) for their MX-3. I was wondering how they feel, are they too bouncy etc? How do they look, and are they hard on your stock struts. If anyone has the answer to my post please reply.

Re: problem starting car

Before you go screwing around with your starter, check your negative terminal and see if there is a ground, maybe it is on the verge and needs to be cleaned. If so, get a wire brush and do a thorough cleaning of the place where the wire attaches to your battery.
