92StockMx3 - 1992 Mx-3 RS
Figured i'd start a worklog since i've been following the site for a while might as well let everyone know theres someone else taking care of their Mx-3. So some time on and off of the car, and after letting it sit for over a year i thought it was time to get it up and running. I'm currently in the process now of primering the car since the paint was pretty awful in spots and it appears someone had a cheap paintjob done so sanding through two paint jobs is slow going with it just being me. Will be posting pictures of my progress soon.

Re: 92StockMx3 - 1992 Mx-3 RS
The car is actually red, between the bad camera and the fading paint it does look sort of orange. I'll be primering the whole car and keeping like that, im a fan of the flat gray look. If by chance you ment the signals those will be going either clear or tinted black.

Re: 92StockMx3 - 1992 Mx-3 RS
Was talking about the car haha. Nice tho. Mine is currently half primer/half black.
For the lights I would do clear and paint the insides black. or tint them black to match the headlights. Just my option though.

Re: 92StockMx3 - 1992 Mx-3 RS
Thought i would start to clean up the engine bay a bit. Was in pretty rough shape so i wiped it down and figured i'd start replacing the rusted out bolts. Only did a few, plus many of them started snapping off so i drilled them out and retapped the hole. New bolts make a huge difference, going to order a big pack so i can redo them all this week. Painted the radiator support, wiper cowl and valve cover a low gloss black, went to paint the header cover but the bolts rounded out.

Re: 92StockMx3 - 1992 Mx-3 RS
Got a nice simple shift knob, ordered it in gunmetal but a black one arrived, looked good so i kept it.
Rubber pedals were very worn out so got a set, probably going to try and find a pair without the carbon fiber looks kind of cheap after i installed them.
Found some nice belt pads for really cheap and thought they would be a nice touch.
Now for the part everyone would hate but its not like anyone reads this, the muffler, Megan Racing N1 style muffler.
I really like the supra exhaust style and think it will work well with an MX-3. Figure if its too loud i'll get a quiet resinator. I'll get a better picture after its installed.

Re: 92StockMx3 - 1992 Mx-3 RS
little updte
Repainted Door panels, plus some chrome miata handles
small interior overview
engine and coksport strut bar
Got tired of the crust looking manifold so shined it up a bit could use alot more work but i think it looks better than it did
Some more primer done.
Some custom touch looks better in person i think.
Have a few other things coming in but nothing big, have to buy tires for my truck. Just thought id share since i knw how everyone likes pictures .

Re: 92StockMx3 - 1992 Mx-3 RS
Few more items added to the stable.
Steering Wheel, was cheap and a simple look.
Bought an oil cap and it came with maZdaspeed stickers, looks to fit perfectly over the horn button, although that wont be for long since i ordered a carbonfiber maZdaspeed horn to replace the original one.
Some Eibach camber bolts and KYB front strut mounts.
Bought some foam speaker baffles they were $7 and am interested to see if they help.
Next on my list are some bushings, Corksport Rear strut bar and Whiteline Sway bar, all subject to change clutch is on its way out soon, so make have to make a big purchase in the future.
