I own my MX3 for one month, bought it for $2200 and invested $1100 more in new brakes, complete exhaust with catalyst, new radiator, fluids (also my favourite engine oil Petro-Canada), headlights, bumper and I hope after new paint in spring 2007 it will be all. I want to have my MX3 just like new, with no tuning, there will be just one major exchange - transmission, I will put there my KL transmission with 21k km. :)

92 gs
Bought in 95 for $10,500 canadian
with 80,000 kms

Mods:
Mostly for performance/maintanance

Now:
KLZE swap in 2001 at 240,000 kms
from Japan Auto for $2200, with a 700 core fee returned for the k8.
Many other modifications as budget permitted and years went by.

currently 295,000kms, only driven in summer since 2000.

Possible next car:
Mazdaspeed 3, Anything starting at 200 hp and up. But I hate to think of payments again.

Now you youngins can by the same car with all the mods for less than I paid for the car alone back in 95.
