omg thread jack! you must search.. I would be nicer but this is a total jack. Rear the 4cyl faq's - the cure to the common n00b My bad man, it was somewhat related since every time someone asks what they can do to their stock car someone suggests doing a engine swap. It was a unintentional jack if ...

Some guy was saying that the only turbo that was made for a SOHC MX-3 was made by mazda and doesn't exist anymore. Does that mean I can't buy a BPT (it's DOHC right?) and put it in my 92' 1.6L SOHC MX-3? Another noob question too: On a scale of 1 - 10 how hard would it be to put the V6 motor in my s...

Nos92, I do, have, and have been for a number of years. Nobody has put it so simply honestly. Even the guy who reposted the whole BP swap guide from a different website didn't explain exactly what the different engines were. And if I remember correctly he explicitly said in his article he wasn't goi...

Yes but Ryan does B6T mean that it's a six-cylinder engine with a turbo? Or does the V6 engine have a entirely different code than a 4 cylinder BP? It's slightly confusing (or maybe I'm just slow) because there are so many B engines. I know the Miata engines won't work be cause they're RWD, but if I...

Honestly I don't know if it makes a noise or not, because I have two 12" subs in the trunk... Did you know the hatch makes the whole car a pretty damn good box? I'll TRY driving without the stereo on (I'll probably die) to see if I hear a noise. I gotta keep my car together until my new job sta...

While this article is up, quick question: What car do you pull the bpt from? The bpt is not the V6 one is it? I'm asking because everyone says the switch from 4 banger to 6 in a MX-3 is near imposible without a parts car. If I could get the BPT from something that'd be great because it already has a...

So my speedometer has started acting funny. Around 50-60 mph it says "Eff u man!" and dances all around 70-90 mph doing a little jig. It started a few weeks ago when I noticed it was getting a little shaky when speeding up, and then about 3 days ago it got A.D.D. and started seeing what th...

Found some of the same Hankook tires as Wheels Max, but in the size the guy suggested here: http://www.bizrate.com/automotivetires/oid392379291.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; They're cheaper, yes, but what would be the main difference between the two sizes? I honestly ...

I was looking around last night and found the following tires: http://www.wheelmax.com/product.asp?ProdID=14460" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; At 4 for $288. I'm due for new tires about now, and they've gotten good reviews here: http://www.1010tires.com/tirereviews/Hankook_...

Huge rain came through tonight: the floors of the back seats are small lakes, the front floors/mats are soaked, but the rest of the seats and stuff are dry. Only thing is that the automatic seatbelts are malfunctioning. When I first turned on the car the light came on, and the passenger side was the...

I find it quite annoying sometimes when people go on and on spouting all kinds of mechanical jargon that a TRUE beginner would never know, myself included. I've been prowling this site for more than a year, and I still find myself only maybe 15% more proficient when it comes to possibly doing a swap...

I have two 12" MXT Thunder subs in my trunk and they hit harder than most stuff around here(Dallas/Ft.Worth). They're 8 years old and only a month ago did the amp blow (the output went kapoot) and one of the subs is half-blown. MTX is a awesome company, and their competition stuff is mad stupid...

If it were up to me I wouldn't rely on someone else to do the work, but I am pretty car illiterate. I'm pretty sure I could figure out a majority of the problems if I had the time, but the problem is just that: time. That and considering the fact that it is my only car to get around besides my dad's...

Long read, please excuse me. Alright here is my tale of woe. I got my MX-3 awhile ago for $1500 (4 cyl SOHC) with a pretty serious sound system in it. I've had no problems with it since I bought it about 5 years ago. I got in a front end accident about 2 years ago and all I had to replace was the po...

Ok you know the spare key that came with the car thats only supposed to be used in emergencies? Well I used it and it BROKE OFF INSIDE THE IGNITION. I haven't tried to get tweezers to pull it out yet, but I was hoping someone would have suggestion. I was thinking perhaps getting a vaccum with high s...
