Well, filled up with Optimax today after 190 miles had only used 34 litres.. my fuel gauge is appallingly innacurate it seems!!!! but anyways, don't need an empty tank to do sums... so pulled out the calculator anyway, and worked out Im getting 24mpg :lol: got a tank of Optimax in it now, (well.. al...

aye when I got the car it had very little oil in it, pretty close to the minimum this i discovered half way on the way home ...stopped at a service (as in fuel / food etc, not dodgy garage kind of servicing) place, and couldn't work out what oil the car required.. so figured 10W40 would do, its a fa...

I've got 10W40 in mine at the moment

dont suppose this will damage it, just might sap some power as the engine has to struggle moving it about and stuff?!?!

Honda S2000 I like the idea of screaming along at 9000rpm on a normally aspirated 2.0 litre, that develops 236bhp!!!! plus its RWD properly fun little car I bet.

hello and welcome

Smoother Crawling Control in congested traffic. (I'll explain - my MX-3 tends to be rather very sensitive to my accelerator foot in traffic. There is a jerk when you try to increase your crawling speed, and a jerk when you take your foot off the accelerator. It's not exactly annoying - just makes y...

HU = Head Unit.. my CD player.. sorry, guess its not a common abbreviation! I dont think those cubby holes are that common.. not at < £5 anyway, :lol: you could easily get one from Mazda, -basically you get an MX-5 one and it fits in the MX-3 perfectly, but they're probably > £20 from Mazda, so eBay...

might be an idea just to get 2x non OEM speakers I guess

one thing I haven't checked is whether the wire is still in the door, or if i'll have to do all of that too... coz that'd be a lot of effort (I'm very very lazy... fitting the HU was bad enough )

Having recently got an MX-3, with a hole in the dash.. I just finished fitting my head-unit, (had a spare lying around.. given to me as a present) all that went well, tested it out and found no sound coming from the drivers door.. made sure the connections were ok, seemed fine... made sure the balan...

I need a cubby hole in mine there too now, had a HU lying around the house for ages (previous car used some weird setup, that it didn't fit in!) so now it fits, (tried it... it slides in fine) so now I have only a 1 Din ugly hole... cubby hole will be good for that, esp if its deep.. for CD holding ...

I may have seen some on my travels of the internet... is http://www.srdperformance.com/ any help? they might not be there, I wasn't checking but looking for short-shifters instead (tempted to get one, to reduce that throw a tiny bit & get the shift knob about an inch lower, to make it more comfo...

Ah, mines more basic than that I'm afraid!



done around 180something miles from a full-tank... lol ...you say the economy is good?!

Mine only displays the time, -unless theres a button you can push! but I dont think so :lol: yeah, I noticed the writing on the engine is in a different place too.. heating controls are slightly different too, but I can't see many other differences liking the Mats in your car, very nice.. they the O...

yeah, higher octanes dont develop more power, but the engine can get more power out of higher octanes being there, as you say.. ignition advance. gonna give mine super or opti next tank, and redex.. it may have carbon deposits, (previous owner did lots of gentle town driving and stuff! ) and give it...

afaik, its only turbocharged cars that really hate backpressure.. I believe normally aspirated cars don't mind so much, and in some cases actually run better with a certain amount of it present.. this of course varies from model of car, to model of car.
