Good idea! I had a rear strut bar at one time. Don't really know where it went. They're pretty cheap these days anyway.

Thanks, Evo. Still have some work to do. I've never done fibglas before, so it's a little intimidating. But I can't wait to see it finished either. I've been playing with this design since I got the car over 10 years ago!

Well, I am ready to reveal some of my progress on the hatch area. As you can see, the speakers (a pair of 10s which have yet to be acquired) will sit off to the sides and the amps will be flush mounted in the same panels. Next up is some fiberglass for the backsides and the top portions over the str...

New fuel sender is in. Next up is the trunk. I'm doing a modest audio setup with a super-custom (wood and carpet 8)) enclosure. I found a few MX-3s at a yard a little over an hour away. Supposedly they're clean as hell and the guy will let me pull whatever I want and he'll make me a deal. I'm going ...

Nah, it's just a stock hood. At one point in time, the front end was pretty misaligned. The latch was too far off so I (the aforementioned ricer) used the pins to make everything match up. I recently pulled the front straight though, so I have no need for the pins anymore. I like it better with the ...

I went ahead and ordered a new fuel sender from the stealership. Set me back a few, but it was worth it to have a brand new unit. It'll be here in a few days. I also realigned all the body panels on the front end and painted the hood today. Nothing special, just a quick job to keep it from rusting. ...

Well, that drip must have been some residual coolant left in the oil cooler because it's gone now. Gas gauge wasn't working so I took a look at the fuel sending unit and found this... http://mx3brad.site88.net/IMG_1697.JPG I'm trying to source a new one locally, however it's going to be tough since ...

Nevermind. Coolant still leaked from the new hose. Seems like the diameter of the stock hose is 11/16. Impossible to find locally. Oh well. The connections on the oil cooler are rusted to crap anyway. I just bypassed it by shoving some 5/8 on. I'll remove it eventally whenever I make it back there. ...

New hose done. No more coolant leaks as far as I can tell (knock on wood). I'm leaving for Chicago tomorrow, so no working on the car this weekend. Next week, I'm planning on getting some new tires, and probably going to the junk yard to snag some random stuff and pretty much just mess around. Now t...

Stupid battery. Had to buy a new one. Couldn't afford another red top, so I got a crap one for now. It did the job and I got the car started today. It ran beautifully! The brakes are mega mushy, so I guess they'll need a bleed. The rear drums are leaking, but I'm holding out for that rear disc swap....

Small update... Changed the oil, replaced the gas and fuel filter, flushed and refilled the radiator, basically getting ready to start the car for the first time in awhile. Still need to replace the exhaust and valve cover gaskets. The oil pan has a tiny leak, but I don't want to fix that right now....

I don't know. I just think 45s or 50s would look more modern. Those are 40s on there now. Don't get me wrong, I love my rims. The tires are just a little too low profile for me.

Tried to put the recovered dash in today and realized that some of the plastic is broken off where the trim pieces screw on. Also, the new vinyl is too thick and the driver side underneath panel won't fit into place. Guess I need a new plan...

I was looking over this diagram and I think it would be possible. I already have my dash out so maybe this will be my next project. http://mx-3.com/manuals/showimg.php?file=/1995%20Workshop%20Manual/Z/Z-086.gif It seems that you would need a dash harness to go along with the controls, as well as the...

I'm interested in this as well. I swear there was a thread on this, but I can't seem to find it ATM. I remember it mentioning that there were some actuators or motors that control the air box. Anyone have a detailed 94+ wiring schematic? I only have the one for a 93...
