Re: F2T Powered MX-3
Nice one! Interesting choice of engine, not tempted for FE3? Lantis v6 parts for 5 lug? Or you fit in mx6 bits? Yours is the only other 5stud I've seen! Bit of tidying up wouldn't go astray but it's fantastic to see something different in there!

Re: F2T Powered MX-3
Yes thats an older MX-6 GT. The Swap consists of MX-6 Knuckles on MX-3 Control Arms.... I take it the 5-Lugs is pretty rare too then huh?
The wheels look nice but even with the rear fenders rolled, and 1/2" spacers they rub in a hard turn so I'm lookin to swap back to 15's....
As for dyno #'s I'd say 180-200 at the wheel... If I get a dyno day sometime, I'll post numbers

Re: F2T Powered MX-3
i can see why its a rare swap, as strong as these f2t's are, they are normally pulled out of the 1g probes for a better power plant (BPT mainly)
you'll deff love that engine tho, of the 2 that ive owned, they have both been strong healthy engines right to the end

Re: F2T Powered MX-3
I haven't posted a update lately, so here we are.
Car is now resprayed in a colorshifting Purple/Green/Blue hue. Read through the build. I placed 12/35 at the Grassroots Motorsports $2012 Challenge in Gainesville, FL at the end of Sept.
I hit a deer with it 3 weeks ago, and have just about everything enroute to fix it with, minus the JDM/Euro Lip...

Re: F2T Powered MX-3
Not really. I've never seen a BP in an gen1 Mx6/Probe. Probably has been done, but it not a common swap. F-series are stronger motors than the B-Series, and the F2T has the strongest FWD trans you can find for a Mazda, hands down.Calg_93GS wrote:i can see why its a rare swap, as strong as these f2t's are, they are normally pulled out of the 1g probes for a better power plant (BPT mainly)

Re: F2T Powered MX-3
I take it the F2T trans isn't compatible with much besides the F2T? Or else most others would have used it by now in builds on this site?
