Slow and steady wins the race right
Slow and steady wins the race right
well so im on my second year of owning my mx3 and well heres some pics from the year so far of trying to get all the work done.
this is when i first got it, sat in the drive way for about a month amd put 2 10" legacy's and vibreant amp in and my pioneer deck. not much i can do with a g1.
came with a set of 14" csa 5star rims. but that winter i cracked one on a curb sliding on ice. than later on i put a dual tip muffler fart can on and it sounded really good suprisingly since i expected a rice type sound but it had a nice deep tone to it. i also hit a teachers car at school and damaged the driverside fender and door. replaced a brake cylinder and ebrake cable, and swapped over to a set of steel rims with some nice wide tires. also added some fog lights with the help of jeremyp one day aswell as teh gs wing. got the speaker grills painted red and a red ractive boot i put in my sister bought me
so first summer drivin the car, put the rims back on with the wide tires from the steel rims i had, fixed the fender and the gigantic rust spot on the hatch, got thw passenger fender, hood and front bumper off a parts car. but only put the diverside fender on so far. painted the valve cover, installed ractive tornado filter, strut bar and bought a set of gs doors and front lip off my buddy that had a black mx3.
so finally new stereo just as the summer ends, 2 12"s that sound amazing. repainted the valve cover again. stole a shifter knob out of a legend or some type of acura cause me and my buddy wer somewher and i saw the knob and just said i have to have that so...yea and put in a 10 disc cd changer. than the day before school, i replaced my clutch with just an oem exedy clutch.
as for later things to do, i have just gotten a short shifter that says taks off 45% of the throw and a ractive knob that is black and red and my stepdad is just itchin to get started on teh body work. im tryin really hard to try and find either anotehr b6 or go with the bp swap which i was originally trying to do and my buddy that works in a macjine shop is gonna help me rip apart the motor i get and clean, machine and do everything possible to it. next week i may be buying a set of motegi 6 spoke rims....dependin on how they look on the car, never seen them on an mc4 so hopefully they look good. but i also want to redo my entire ehaust to a 2.25" with a vortex muffler. hopefully by mid summer i will have most of this done.

No one builds something all at once, Unless youve got money that is
Re: Slow and steady wins the race right

so anyways the body work is finally done and had been primed and painted this past weekend and my engine is finally back.
so now its just waiting for my exhaust to be bent. get teh tires on the rims and put it all together.

Took the bp+t out of the mx and swapped it into a 95 escort wagon.

Re: Slow and steady wins the race right
car looks sick and your doing an awesome job but.... you stole a shifter off someone's car?
Re: Slow and steady wins the race right
haha yea lets not talk about that. but eitehr way i have a new shifter for it. and i cant wait til i can drive it again
Re: Slow and steady wins the race right
its finally done, except my wing has to be repainted. and well insurance takes qite a while to go through now so i have to wait another couple weeks to drive again.
and it sounds pretty good with 2.5" exhaust with just a cherry bomb. i put it where the resonator would be in the mid pipe. rumbles pretty good.

Looking good! I'm glad you didn't choose a damn body kit! Make sure you brake in that engine
