Mooneggs 92 MX-3 Race Car IP - 2013 in Review

[Mooneggs]

Nice list, she shall be a sturdy beast Really need the walbro 255 though?

well I will have an AFPR and I suppose the walbro is overkill but I would assume it would flow better than OEM even at a lower pressure for more consistency.

or maybe I'm just making stuff up in my head again lol

You could always get a 190LPH pump..

[marcdh]

yep a sensible comprimise, unless of course you're secretly turboing mr monegges

[Mooneggs]

lol @ my alter-ego "mr. monegges" bwahahahaha

Anyways I've done a few changes to the slow car as I get it ready for it's new role as "THE FAST CAR"... and I will say just making these minor mods makes the car feel so much faster - it's got to be 98% psycological though

Removed all A/C components and installed smaller belt
Installed CAI, relocated radiator overflow container
Installed 5 spoke 94 GS OEM wheels
Removed rear panels, rear seat, rear seat panels, passenger seat

You've been busy. It must be a little quicker, enough to notice.

Mooneggs, now that your slow international car is your fast car, whats happening to all your goodies?

lol well I was going to wait to address this but (and I'm sure you saw this coming) basically all I will do is swap the titles of my worklogs. And actually they are BOTH going to be international projects, I mean they practically both are already! Here's the list to prove my point:

They both have:
JDM power folding mirrors
EDM glass headlamps with leveling function + switches (custom RHD set and authentic LHD)
EDM taillamps with 2 fog lights (LHD and RHD sets combined)
92-93 adjusting HVAC vents
EDM hazard switch (big red)

Individual mods mixed:
LHD panel under steering wheel with drawer
JDM front bumper with tow hook and fog lights(2 sets: yellow and white)
JDM aggressive lip
Eunos SS sills
Eunos steering wheel
Eunos presso full length side skirts
Eunos presso floor mats
EDM OEM strut bar
EDM front rear fog light switches
Canadian/JDM wraparound spoiler

The fast car will be my new daily driver/nice car with full interior. It has all the leather parts already and black pillars/black headliner... It will also sport the TSW 17" razor rims (since they are heavier and look cooler)...

The slow car will be my new fast car/race car(seriously)... it will have barely any interior or maybe just the front half (like in the pic - I haven't decided), and it will rock the 5 star 94 GS OEM wheels... as well as functional CF parts (nothing overlaid).

A Walbro 255LPH works well with no problems...just make sure not to get the high-pressure one. That's the one that kills stock FPRs. I ran a 255 for 4 years.

I swapped headlights yesterday - swapped my non leveling gray headlights for a set of leveling gray headlights and installed my PIAA plasma GT-X bulbs I got for $10 at a swap meet I'm not really sure why they sell for $100 I'm not that impressed

I almost have all the parts for my build in this slow car... just need to get some SS piping for my exhaust (now that I know I can build it at CJThor's house:D)

Here's the link to my Aasco flywheel that I will be using in this car:

lol

hey mooneggs how much did u drop your car?

[wytbishop]

I would do unspeakable things for your front bumper and lip and fogs. Things I could not tell my friends about.

[Mooneggs]

hey mooneggs how much did u drop your car?

for some reason I can't remember what it is in inches but it's whatever the intrax spring drop is... it would be lower in the back but there's nothing back there right now

[Mooneggs]

so... the transformation has begun!

CF hood successfully installed but I had to remove the hood latch... but now the hood doesn't have as much of an overbite lol






wednesday the motor will be prepped for the swap this weekend! this is so exciting!
