Re: Shades - 1996 MX-3 RS
Thanks Ryan!
Yeah I've done all the bushings I can so far... later is to adapt the V6 cross member. I guess if I get this going fast enough I'll have to put a cage inside which will help stiffen things up.
I'm contemplating going with that gear type LSD group buy that some company is making over on CP... cause my MSP one seems to have blown it's gear. But I might later down the road adapt that Toyota box to it all.
For the present, I just wanna get it running and kinda baby it a little to get me through the summer... then I'm gonna let her be for a while, while I buy a house... then I'll be poor but have a place to store her. Later on will come a paint job and some plastic surgery, I still wanna get an RX8 type look on her.

Re: Shades - 1996 MX-3 RS
Oh wow... $1700 later and I have a 409 Stainless Steel exhaust system from the turbo back. Magnaflow straight through muffler, high flow cat, and turbo flex coupler.
I also changed from 10W30 to 10W40 and gained 5psi due to a thicker oil... interesting.
OH!... and have to take it back to the exhaust shop cause I get a resignating vibration at 3000-4000rpm.
... and they also had to put the down pipe where I was gonna run some intercooling piping... so now I have to drop the piping a few inches... hopefully I'll still have ground clearance.
I'll take some pictures this weekend.

Crappy Movie #2
You can barely even hear anything cause I think the speaker on my camera is fook'd!
PS. Yeah the bumper is gonna stay for a while... I will change it eventually.

How much it cost? I don't have a helmet, and I don't think my coolant system is up to what they want..
