So, I got my 1993 MX-3 with the V6 off of eBay, for $186. Yeah, you read it right, $186.
The guy said that the car wouldn't turn on, and there was oil on the spark plugs and whatnot.
So, he figured something was blown or something so he decided to sell it.
My dad has been a mechanic for 30-something years so it was no big deal.
We get it back here, check it out and figure out that 4/6 are crossed and that they used really cheap plugs, so we take out the plugs, replace, and put everything back together right,change oil,and it fires right up. Also, the reason for oil in the spark plugs, someone didn't tighten down the valve cover tight enough
So, i'm 15, I get my license in 20 days, and this MX3 is my first car.
I really love this car alot. I will try and get some pics up soon..
Theres a few things,cosmetically, that need improving..but that will be taken care of soon enough
Here is my list of what I hope to get done to it, hopefully soon.
(In no certain order)
New Wheels/tires (Has stock wheels now)
Paint (I'm hoping to go for a dark blue)
"Indiglo" Glow Gauges (Cheap but awesome)
Tint Windows
New front bumper (Has crack straight down middle, and the lip on the bottom is hanging down)
Leather Seats
Side Skirts (Haven't decided which ones yet..)
Like I said, I'll try and get some pictures up soon, as of now it's not much to look at, but i'm hoping to get it lookin' good soon enough!
There is alot of helpful information about these little cars in these boards, Thanks!!
