Re: Mooneggs 92 MX-3 Daily Driver IP 10/27 leveling + TSW 17
I finally got a new set of tires for my 17" TSW Razor rims. It's probably been almost 4 years since I got the Toyo Proxes4... I went with Dunlop Direzza Z1 Starspec 215/40/17... they look alot better than 205/40/17 but I need to get my fender rolled on the right rear due to the damage from when I got the car. While I am at it I'm going to go ahead and roll all 4 fenders in anticipation for my wider race slicks for next year's autocross season! I also went ahead and got a lifetime alignment from Firestone so now I can get it aligned for "free" basically from here on out on this car! I wish I had gotten this years ago!
I also got a set of 205/60/15 Michelin Hydroedge on my powdercoated matte black 94 GS 5 spoke rims which will be my new winter setup (no pics yet).
Thanks to Bogaut for figuring out how to correctly wire up the EDM headlamp motorized leveling switch (and for installing it in my car)! It works really well with my new HID telescoping H4 setup. It's like having Hi/Lo and Mid! At the bottom of this post below the pics is a short video of the headlamp leveling action!
Below is the video, click to play, not sure how to embed
also for reference below is another video Steve_SK made a long time ago that shows how it works from the front...

Nice work on the lights, everything looks great! Still hoping to see you put the MS wheels on but i guess thats waiting till spring time then eh? Btw if you have a diagram for the switches on those lights could you post em up so I can wire in the ones in the black car, thanks!

Hey Moon, why you moving?
OMG, I love it! It makes so much more sence now! I never liked those flappy pannels.
I love how it looks! Reminds me of my car with the wing, skirts, hood and fogs You didn't put on your MS rims?
Wonder what it would be like to have that wing on the CF hatch Only problem with that is that there's no going back....

Thanks Mike, yeah I didn't want to put the wing on the MS hatch since I didn't want to drill holes... Maybe someday... we'll see.
2 of my roommates got married so me and the last roommate downsized to a smaller house out on a farm... I like it alot except there is no garage (or pavement for that matter).
MS Rims will go on next year... no sense spending that much on tires that will sit for 5 months...

Sweet upgrades Mark.
Too bad of you're 1 broken glass...
But why did you decide to use some RHD headlights? Wouldn't you be blinding people on the other side of the road?

No, I used the Driver's side from both a LHD and RHD set. The Passenger side is what has the greater peripheal illumination to light up the side of the road. If anything, I'm somewhat limiting my illumination on the passenger side I haven't noticed any big issues though especially now that I have the leveling and HIDs!WhiteFinish wrote:But why did you decide to use some RHD headlights?

Re: Mooneggs 92 MX-3 Daily Driver IP 10/28 audio/video upgra
So you might be wondering where I'm finding the time to get all this stuff done... Basically I'm on a sabbatical from work. After 10 years of service they give you a 6 week paid vacation I started it on 10/15 and it goes until 11/27. As of today I still have 31 days left off!
Anyways, yesterday I worked on upgrading my audio/video capabilities. I've been planning this for some time just like everything else didn't have the time to get around to it. I decided to go with a double din Pioneer DVD unit. This required modifying the stock plastic parts. I was nervous about this at first but once I used the installation kit, it actually fit perfectly and looks really nice! I also cleaned up all the wiring while I was in there...
I also installed new rear speakers in just one of the openings of the JDM trunk speaker boxes. I may eventually use the smaller component space but just wanted to get some decent speakers in at least the larger hole (6 1/2" opening). I decided on some Kenwood Excelon as they fit perfect in the opening without any cutting (the JDM part has a weird tall lip I didn't want to cut).
I also removed the lock on the hatch and installed a rear backup camera. This wasn't totally necessary but I didn't realize how cheap the cameras are now and it is actually pretty nice to have. I just had to dremel out the hole slightly bigger and it fit right in! It does black/white infared at night and color by day and it's also waterproof.
Last but not least I picked up a cheap used sub and amp from a friend... it does quite nicely (not as crazy as the 4 12" subs and massive class D amp I had years ago).

Re: Mooneggs 92 MX-3 Daily Driver IP 11/3 fender roll + cass
Because of the damage on the passenger side rear fender I was having some minor rubbing issues when I installed 215/40/17. I found a guy on craigslist that showed me how to roll my fenders for $50. I had considered doing the baseball bat method but with the damage I'm glad I decided to use the actual fender rolling tool. I had to raise the coilovers in the rear to get the tool to fit but other than that no major issues! It's pretty cool how it works and it still looks OEM from the outside.
As part of my security measures I also decided to "reinstall" my OEM Mazda cassette player due to the fact that my new screen does not have a removable faceplate So I decided to make my own! I knew hanging on to this old cassette player was going to come in handy one day! It's still a little rough but it is meant to look a little janky but I think through tinted windows it will look legit!

all i can say is... d@#^.
Moon you have probably given me more ideas for mods than i can shake a stick at. Both of your mx3s look absolutely sick... I love the mix of the different cultures and the diys you have done... These cars are in absolute mint condition...
Keep up the awsome work.
