Your 15 and already buying a KLZE?
Do what I am going to do
Save $7k and buy a V8, MTX tranny, clutch and everything you will need
V8 MX3, now that would be a sleeper espically at 350rwhp!

It's not going to be too much of a sleeper with a tubbed out rear end and a full tube chassis. But it'll still be cool.Juans_93_MX3 wrote:Your 15 and already buying a KLZE?

Hmmm mx3tuner, You must live in the vancouver area.. I have heard some rough stories from those guys, same with JK motors in van. I recommend your check out your local performance shops and ask them the best place to get a motor. If you can go see the motor for yourself then it might be worth your while to but one form total or JK.

I'm scratching my head here. At 15 I owned a clapped out, beat to sh*t, hardly ever worked Honda55. Aspirations an a scale like this is difficult to comprehend. Do you already own an MX? If so, how could you afford it? How do you know you want a KLZE engine when you can't even drive an MX let alone a car? How are you able to afford a KLZE? Very, very strange. Either we have a silver spoon situation or a very industrious, hard working young man who appears to be ahead of his time in automotive savy wrt the MX scene. I tend to think it's the former. That said, I would recommend that he may want to consider the MX that's for sale in the other forum that's done to the t*ts.Juans_93_MX3 wrote:Your 15 and already buying a KLZE?

I guess it might sound a bit wierd...a 15 yr. old already with a car and soon buying a klze....but heres the story. My dad owns a 97" nissan pick up and it was his daily driver..to and from work is a good distance...so by 2004 he had around 170000 miles on it. It still ran good but the gas milage wasnt great...so he looked into getting a small car...that got ok gas milage...that was fun to drive for his long trip. My cousin at the time was buying a house and the guy selling the house had a son who had moved to florida leaving his mx3 behind. So the guy was trying to sell it along with the house... when me and my dad went to check out our cousins house we saw the mx3....and on the back window it had a for sale sign "1000$"...we couldnt pass it by...and the cool thing is that nothing was wrong with it....now, a year later it has become my car...and being that it was only 1000$ to start with and ive pretty much been taking care of it my dad didnt make me pay for it....now as far as buying a klze at 15 goes....i've been putting almost all the money i get from mowing lawns, ect. into the bank and just recently decided to try to get a klze....so i sold some old skateboard ramps i had and with the money from the bank have around 700$....im getting a job this summer...and still doing things like mowing lawns and stuff and from what i figure should have enough to buy a klze by about august...i was just doing my research now on where to buy from...thats my story. Oh thanks for stickin up for me kiwi.

Tuner, I humbly appologise. As to the options I mentioned previously, "you are obviously a very industrious, hard working young man who appears to be ahead of his time in automotive savy wrt the MX scene". I could never imagine myself at 15 grappling with a project of this magnitude or complexity. I pleasantly stand corrected and I envy your future ahead!

Keep up the good work bud!! f---, when i was 15 i could barley save up enough money to get a new hockey stick lol. Spend it on candy, candy, and more candy lol. Now im a save-aholic...feel guilty about buying stuff i don't need.
