where is the fuse for this thing located?

(tried looking in the shop manual, but cant find it!)

get rid of number 10 lol, we all didn't do that one :lol: as for the comments about 90% of engine damage happens at startup, and avoiding long idles.. if you turn a hot engine off, and after say 2 minutes on again.. its not going to do much damage at all, as the oil is still really hot and protectiv...

it has a 1.8" as standard then?

I dont think I'm going to change anything soon, the KLZE would be awsome at one point but I highly doubt i'd get round to that, and theres all the effort of getting a good one etc etc.

ok, I think i'll just go for 2" or something, - as long as thats bigger than standard anyways

Hi guys, I've just been searching but can't find a real definitive answer (or anything even like one) So, basically I'm getting a cat-back system fitted tomorrow (mostly for the noise, i'll admit it.. I'm not going all-out on performance because at the end of the day, its just a cat-back!!) but ... ...

I took mine out for a proper ragging tonight after I filled it up with fuel and checked the tyre pressures. loads of fun, took all the B-roads and I did a few safe, wide corners where I could go real fast and beyond the tyres limits. Unfortunately other road users going at normal speeds (ie Sloooooo...

does this make a noticable power increase though?

is it actually worth getting all the crap out of there?

ok V8's aint my thing... but, lots of respect to fitting a big V8 in the space of where a wee 1.3 used to be!!! lots of work I'd imagine, no matter what people say its your ride, it is unique (why do people complain about people not being original, and then critisize when stuff IS original!! :roll: ...

ok quite a random thread, but... I had basically not driven my car for about 6 days (was away 5, then it went away for some work - service, 4x new tyres, trace air-con leak) got it back and had to be nice to it as the new tyres bedded in (nice soft Toyo T1-R's :D ) but I took the 'long' way home tod...

crazy, I had no idea they could do this

I shift pretty rapidly in mine - doesn't have any feeling like it could do this though.. would be annoying to be stuck in 4th or 5th with some of the hills around here

ive have been running my jap import v6 mx-3 on shell optimax (98 octane) and the thing flies....especially when you hit 400rpm and all hell breaks loose....and believe it or not the economy has also improved, well worth the extra cost keep doing that mate, dont know if your aware but most Jap impor...

I think I read that our cars are bad in wheelarches.. give them a good clean and look for signs of rust and the like...

lol, the Fabia vRS is a 130bhp diesel it'll sit beside an MX-3 easily, as it has more torque.. and about the same bhp!! 0-60 would be a good one though, diesels aren't flexible like our petrols'.. gotta keep a diesel in the middle of its rev range, but with ours.. well, we all know.. from 4500 onwar...

ah bugger, now I want some :p what do you mean about this Dremel thing tho! no way am I taking a dremel to anything! scary stuff... im guessing is the shape of the repeater different so it doesnt fit on the MX-3's wings / fenders without being altered? :?: :?: :?: gotta check mine really, cos I had ...
