Re: SPOTTED in Winnpeg
Today in Winnipeg I saw a black GS with one of the spoilers, not the wraparound. It had aftermarket rims, with red circle accents near the hub? It was parked infront of a bar or something? I don't remember. the street was... Pembina, like 2 mins past the university. I didn't see it very well.

I also saw today a red MX3 with a bra, driven by a middle aged man. On the road that is University Cres if you drive straight. Sorry, I'm not street name savy

Re: SPOTTED in Winnpeg
Wesman salvage has 2 or 3 Mx's. I've pulled trailings while the car is on the ground, but its much easier when its in teh air.., I know they can pull parts for you, but I don't know how it all works. Only visited once.
My Mazda dealership wanted $74 for both. I installed them myself.
All Canadians are Precidia
V6 or 4 cyl?

Re: SPOTTED in Winnpeg
The main performance mod is a BP swap. the B6's really lack aftermarket support.
I'll be in Brandon the 3rd-7th of June at least.

Re: SPOTTED in Winnpeg
hehe, here.
http://www.mx-3.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.ph ... hilit=quiz" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
and I work for AutoCity Mazda, 101 on Route 12 in Steinbach.
some 323 came with a 1.6T called a B6T. rareish engine. Not the best out there.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_B_engine" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Skim over that. All of those fit up to BPT.
BP is best bang for your buck. nearly invincible motor, takes boost well, same hp as the stock v6, and myriad of aftermarket support. It was also a miata motor for awhile.

Re: SPOTTED in Winnpeg
how hard is it to got your hands on a bp and what kind of money would i be looking at? like i said im a chevy full size guy and desided if i got a tuner why not make it big and flashy too.
if i do a swap question 1 will it bolt up to the factory 5 speed? and 2 will i have to completely re wire everything?
i have a 80 firebird and when i droped th motor in it, it took 3 wires and 2 fuel lines to hook up to start lol i don't think a tuner is that easy

Re: SPOTTED in Winnpeg
Depends on where you get it. I've heard 100-600. I paid 300.
BP is simple on a 92/93. Run 3 extra wires, splice one, and everything else is the same and interchangeable.
on 94+ you need engine harness to make it easy (which isn't hard)
all B series trannies bolt to eachother.
