Hah, aint that the truth. It's just even funnier when the Honduh guys want to rev their engines at you and your pink car pulls on them before they can clutch out. ;DMnemonic wrote:it is nice having a barney purple car that can haul...
Its not really eggplant color, it looks a darker purple in the pics than it really is. Its more like this color---kudkudniyog wrote:eggplant flavored ice cream. I got to hand it to ya. It's definitely an eyecatcher. More power to your preference. Just not my cup of tea. Nicely done though.
I hate that purple basta*d.MrMazda92 wrote:Mnemonic wrote:it is nice having a barney purple car that can haul...
Ya right, does he even know what it takes to make a 10/11 second Mx3?OROutdoors wrote:One thing keeps coming to mind about what the owner said to me. I told him some mx-3 members are getting low13/sub13 seconds on the quarter mile. In all seriousness, he asked why they were so slow, that he's making close to 10 seconds. Sounds like BS to me. But, if so, maybe he can give us some pointers.
Ya it's kinda funny he isn't show casing the engine,,stock K8 or B6 doing 10's. I see nothing special with that car. Standard painted interior. I remember it took me a year to find good parts to replace all the painted stuff in one of the MX3s I bought.Nd4SpdSe wrote:Ya right, does he even know what it takes to make a 10/11 second Mx3?OROutdoors wrote:One thing keeps coming to mind about what the owner said to me.

No, it's not a chick car. That's what I though when I first saw the car. I see it around town every now and then -- in Tigard, OR. I met the guy a year or so ago, and recommended he come visit mx-3.com. I'm glad he finally dropped in. I invited him over when I had an mx-3 gathering a while ago, Mooneggs, StereoKing and FowlerJesse showed up, but no 34Fast.
I do really appreciate the way all the parts of the car come together for a comprehensive look. However, if you see it up closely, you notice a lot of cracks and gaps in the body work. But it isn't from poor workmanship. It is from years of use.

its all in how you build your build and finish off with a bully dog duel shot race kit nos , lol for a extra 250hp with the right gearing for that 11 to 12 sec mark hitting gears at 8500 to 9000rpm
Now THAT sounds like BS to me. I'm by no means an expert when it comes to 1/4 mile times, but I'm very good at using a calculator.34fast wrote:OROutdoors wrote: he's making close to 10 seconds.
