my first mx-3 "mod"

cweed · Post by **cweed** » July 23rd, 2009, 3:52 pm

dont know if you can consider it a mod, but I installed an air/fuel ratio in one of the ac vents. its probably been done before but I think it looks cool in the vent. next im gonna install a volt meter and leave only the side vents for the ac.

I think I speak for almost everyone here when I ask, why? A narrowband a/f ratio meter is useless, it just flashes and looks cool. You'd be much better off spending your time and money on something useful, like at least something to replace your tape deck.

Same exact thing I thought. First off your car is stock so the A/F gauge isnt even remotely needed AND its a narrowband anyways which means it doesnt do anything at all anyways. Then you wanna put a VOLTMETER in the car also...

Go buy some useful mods and then maybe one day you might actually need a REAL WIDEBAND A/F gauge.

But the interior looks nice and clean I must say.

I just hope you don't live in South Florida, or you're gonna be one sweaty driver...

Only reason i liked the 94s over the 93-92 was the ability to put the gauges in the dash like they came from the factory that way. Looks good.

If your going turbo later on this will be a helpful gauge, but if your just planning on keeping it NA eeeeh kinda pointless (whispers I had one too in my NA mx-3) its pretty at night lol thats about it. Recommend getting a Oil Pressure & Voltage combo.

if going turbo later i recomend oil psi and boost. then grab a wideband later

congrats on your first mod! yeah what these guys are saying is true, but I remember doing some of my first mods like this... it only leads to bigger and better things! just remember even though they are being harsh, it is useful information

Hey, I have useless mods in my car too.

- I have a switch on the remote wire to my subs amp.
- I have reverse glows
- I painted my suspension and calipers black.
- I have cluster rings
- I changed the grille in the stock front bumper
- I have a GS wing and GS lip
- I have TWO stickers on my exterior. (But claim no HP)
- One of them is a ricy zoom zoom sticker, but I like the innuendo.
- Aftermarket tails
- hourglassed TB on a non P&P manifold w/ stock intake

I'm a fan of semi-useless features that look cool. As long as they don't subtract from anything else.

I am too, I have a black wraparound spoiler on my blue car. I'm in no way against visual mods, but I just don't see the point in a useless gauge blocking off a useful vent. And I think gauges in the vent holes just look weird.
