And, most importantly, whenever you're doing something: http://www.mx-3.com/manuals/index.php?folder=/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Whenever you have a seemingly basic question: http://www.mx-3.com/phpBB3/search.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

A tune up is a good place to start, get yourself familiar with the locations of the very basic stuff. Plug wires, plugs, oil change, fuel filter, air filter (or CAI, your choice), valvecover gaskets....


Oh, and pick up a metric socket set, from like 5mm-21mm, and you'll need a few deep sockets too. Plugs are 5/8 IIRC.

Welcome man, glad to see more people coming on here, making the community bigger
Anyways, just start where you're comfortable, when I got my first car (RIP pontiac shitbird) I just familiarized myself with all the basics like oil, sparks, etc., it also helps because mx-3's are very easy to work on, I've been told they are one of the more "amateur-friendly" cars to work on best spot though is youtube for sure, lots of examples and how-to's
anyways, good luck, and post some pictures of this "rare" mx3 lol

[Dark_Rider2k3]

welcome to the forums!

where are you from? You may have a lot of Mx'ers around if your in good areas (I'm noticing NY and Oregon have a bunch)

[Jaik]

Welcome, I just joined as well and have been going through thread after thread. I want to learn as much as I can before I start turning wrenches.
And lets see some pics. lol
