Re: charging problem.

I got the normal stock (Optima D35) battery for our cars a few weeks ago and it's been running perfect since I got it. I went to a drive-in theater and ran the whole Fast and Furious movie at full blast (2 12" Kickers, 1600 watt [900 watt RMS] Kenwood amp, and a separate amp for the tweeters/mi...

Re: DIY Smoked (tail, bumper, side) lights?

some night time shots, the tint is noticeable by the sides of the markers. http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs030.snc1/3195_155855565183_675580183_6396507_4991658_n.jpg http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs030.snc1/3195_155855570183_675580183_6396508_5501328_n.jpg http://photo...

Re: ANY MX3s IN WEST TEXAS!

Oh yeah I'm in the Arlington/Ft.Worth area. Next time you're up here let me know so we can chill or something. I've never had a reason to come to El Paso, but s--- this may be it. I think everyone (in Texas) needs to go there at least once. Are there any casinos or anything near there? We could alwa...

Re: I'm tired of thieves... :(

Wow that's shitty. I always bump around town, but I always say my yellow hood is a theft deterrent. When I worked at Target and this guys truck got broken into a few spaces from mine I showed him my two subs and he was all "I would have never guessed anything was in here". The funny part i...

Re: DIY Smoked (tail, bumper, side) lights?

I'd like to see how it looks with the turn signal on. Cause it looks like you overdid it and no light can shine through lol Nah it shines through just fine, it's just burnt orangeish. I used Pactra Racing Finish RC294 Window Tint. I got it from a hobby store in the US (Hobbytown USA to be exact). I...

Re: ANY MX3s IN WEST TEXAS!

Nah there's a DFWMazda club that I go to occasionally and they have ONE MX-3 that has done the KLZE swap and stuff. He's on the forum somewhere cause he was the one who introduced me to the DFWMazda club. Other than that I only see about 4 MX-3s around here that are bone stock and are driven VERRY s...

Re: DIY Smoked (tail, bumper, side) lights?

So I went to the local hobby shop and bought some RC Car spray-on tint. Precco or something like that. I sprayed it on the stock orange ones for now until I grab the clear ones. Not a bad job, here are some pics: (the hood is temporary, I DID NOT do the decals, they were on it when I bought it) Side...

Re: ANY MX3s IN WEST TEXAS!

I'm in north Texas, heh. Seems like all the MX-3s around here are driven by: A.) Lame people. OR B.) Lame people that know nothing about the true potential of MX-3s. I haven't met these lame people, but watching them drive tells me so much.

Never been to El Paso actually.

DIY Smoked (tail, bumper, side) lights?

I DID search for it. Is there a do-it-yourself solution for smoking lights on your car? I read about some people putting black vinyl on the inside of their tail lights or something to get the smoked look, but how would you accomplish something like that for the side markers or the bumper lights? Doe...

Re: MX3 Paint Question

Well if you read his post on the Rolled-on forums he goes into detail about what he used and what he did for the rust areas. I think he said he mostly used Rust Converter and Bondo for most of the areas that were rusted through. I'm assuming that he did sand the whole car before starting, but he doe...

I recently found this post: http://www.mx-3.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=67670" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; And it seems like a pretty viable and do-able paint job solution. Looked pretty good too (make sure you click the link to his actual work). Or if you're lazy...

Re: Mx-3 Rolled-On Paint Job

You know, this was a really OLD bump, but I'm glad that the guy did bump this thread. I'm definitely going to do this now. I was slowly rationing out my money to paint my car (it's HIDEOUS) but if I can crack this out in a week (night and day) then I'm game. Especially for $400 max. The only thing I...

Haha, told ya. We check the distributor on mine too, and it checked out fine. Whenever my mechanic "switched out the ECU" or whatever he did, it fixed the problem. Now I need to remove the IAC and clean it, if I could find it...
