MX-3.com

I would seriously consider buying the car from a member of an enthusiast board like mx-3.com. People here are more likely to have taken proper care of their cars (or at least be honest about the flaws). They also have a history of posting and a reputation that may give confidence. To echo other post...

With some older trannys I know that concerns were expressed about additives in GL5 fluids. Are there any issues with brass or soft metals and normal GL5 fluids in the MX-3? Do you need to spec a GL4 for that reason? I have one of the Redline 75w90 fluids in my other car. AM currently running cheap C...

The market for sports coupes has always been a mix of: driving enthusiasts, and people who want an image statement of sportiness, perhaps as part of a mid life crisis. Or in my case, both. The mid 90s not only saw the death of the MX-3 but the entire market saw the shift to the sport ute in away tha...

After running Pirellis and Kumhos I have the Toyo T1-S on my Porsche. I chose it over the Yoko ES100. Enjoyed it enough that I went with Toyo winter rubber on the MX-3

I bought a set of 2 ton jack stands and a 2 ton jack for $37 CDN at Walmart. I see similar deals at CDN tire all the time. usually about $20 for just a pair of stands. I always use the jack as a safety just in case one of the jack stands fails. I will usually move it off to the side in a less than i...

Adding the fuel stabilizer now would probably do nothing. Always store with a fuel stabilizer and a full tank (reduces condensation adding water to your tank). At this point if there is only a half tank of gas you might want to try draining it and use it in some olfd lawnmower or something. Don't ju...

A friend of a friend runs the Mississauga outlet of Consumers Tire. It is near 401 and 410 so not too far from where I think you are (I had to look up Halton Hills) http://www.consumerstire.com/ I live downtown and work in Markham and have bought most of my tires at http://www.wheels-direct.com/ on ...

I would possibly be interested based on price. Its not that I am really cheap, but the mx-3 is a second vehicle for me/third vehicle for the family and primarily for winter for me. the original paint is great in some places and bad in others. But if a group buy would bring the price down then it mig...

As I mentioned earlier, I am tall in the torso and short in the legs and I can't sit upright in this (and many other cars). Do all of you guys who have no issues sit reclined in a suburban pimp position? My ideal preferred seat back angle would be between the fully upright position and the first rec...

I like 2, just because i like the simplicity and the match with the rims.

I like the mazdaspeed logo but the checked background is to my personal taste a little too busy.

But I am a newbie to the MX-3 so take it with a grain of salt

This is an old thread but I found it because I was looking for answers, as to whether there was any way of lowering the seats on my MX-3. I am 6 feet tall and have trouble with headroom in many cars. The issue is that I really have the torso of someone 6' 3" on the legs of someone 5' 9" I ...

For a second I thought someone had done an MX-3 convertible conversion, to which I would say just buy a Miata. The Miatas are great little cars and handle well. I don't think they are gay but even if they were - not that there is anything wrong with it. Anyhow, any car that chicks like that much sur...

You have to admire the effort and it looks like good work... but why would you do this? Ah well to each his/her own. To me the virtue of these cars is that out of the box they handle really well, you can pick one up very cheap, there are some relatively cheap mods that can have big effect, so the wh...

Thanks for the info. I will check out Xtreme. Sounds like just what I am looking for. Someone who is familiar with these cars and for whom this will be a quick and easy job. I would try and do this myself but I would probably have to wait until April when I bring out my summer car and my garage is w...

On one level this is a funny story but on another level it pisses me off. :evil: The fact that the police are misused as tax collectors by handing out BS tickets is made obvious by cop behaviour, when they do things that they would give us tickets for doing. What would happen if a cop got stopped ra...
