Re: Mooneggs 92 MX-3 Daily Driver IP 4/2 New muffler+wraparo
I've got to say that when I first saw those mudflaps that I thought no way.......... However, they look really good. Plus 1 to to the diffuser idea.
We all want to be fast and look cool. Cool changes but fast never does.

Although i agree that i'm missing something. Might be JDM, but make it your own style and add a section

Re: Mooneggs 92 MX-3 Daily Driver IP 4/14 New MS steering wh
We had beautiful weather today so I took the opportunity to do the following:
-Install my new MS wheel and mounting kit
-Take apart front fog light to determine why it has condensation (ended up being the rubber grommet wasn't in the right spot)
-Test fit the Passenger and Drivers side King6 88durometer mounts
-Raise up my coilovers to ensure I won't have rubbing issues with the race tires setup.
Thanks to everyone who commented on which steering wheel I should choose. I went with the new gunmetal wheel with the white MS horn button with the new Boss kit for installation. It's almost as long as the Momo + spacer I was using before so it really is the perfect length IMO. I had to figure out a different way to run the horn wire since I'm the stock metal disc wouldn't fit around the boss kit. I just ended up running a long enough wire to accomodate the full lock to lock turning of the wheel. It just wraps/unwraps as needed around the column. We'll see if this is a good solution as I drive/race it more
I'm really dissapointed in the King6 mounts so far. I don't see how I can get the pass side in without modifying the stock bracket. The drivers side has multiple issues. I've contacted Darren to see how he wants to proceed. I won't post pics until it's sorted out.
I raised up the front coilovers by about 1/2 an inch. I raised up the rears by about an inch and a half. I'm nervous about rubbing on the fenders as well as the lowest rung of the coil. It's really close in there but with it being raised this high I think it will be ok. I'm going to an autocross event tomorrow so I'll find out soon enough!
After driving around with the JDM mudguards for a couple weeks I'm very pleased with how they look and I plan on keeping them just as they are with the space in the middle. My new muffler sounds amazing as well. It has added the deepness back to the tone and really makes it sound menacing!

Please don't tap on the hood. It disturbs the gerbils.

You really couldn't have gone wrong with the steering wheels but I do like the setup you chose.
And those wheels.....I love them!

Re: Mooneggs 92 MX-3 Daily Driver IP 4/14 New MS steering wh
I modified the original MX3 clock spring for my RX7 wheel by cutting off the plastic plug end on the face and feeding the flat horn wire through then attached a crimp end to that to run through the boss.
Re: Mooneggs 92 MX-3 Daily Driver IP 4/14 New MS steering wh
do you have any more pics or would it be possible to take measurements of those ms adapter brackets?

Re: Mooneggs 92 MX-3 Daily Driver IP 4/14 New MS steering wh
I'm assuming you are talking about for the seats? I don't know how I could get measurements as they are very oddly shaped. I know Rupewrecht on the AstinaGT forums had them for a while to try and get them replicated (since he had never before seen an mx-3 set) before he shipped them to me so he may have more info on how to get more. I would recommend contacting him.mx3matt wrote:do you have any more pics or would it be possible to take measurements of those ms adapter brackets?

Re: Mooneggs 92 MX-3 Daily Driver IP 4/14 New MS steering wh
moon, what up man ... been meaning to ask you. I really need to paint my car, and i love the Moonwax look.
Here in Portugal, it's very hard to legaly change a car's colour. My permit says "Green" but as you know, Mazda´s Noble Green is not your regular green.
The question i have is ... can i get a primer for the Moonwax with a subtle green to it ? I mean, just something that i can tell the cop's .. "hey man, this is the green they gave me ..." ... can i manage this kind of moonwax

I'm sure you can get olive or green colored primer - just check your local stores or maybe you could get it online? Here's an olive drab mx-3 from the UK: http://www.uk-mx3.com//forum/viewtopic.php?t=5285

Re: Mooneggs 92 MX-3 Daily Driver IP 4/14 New MS steering wh
What about putting a green stripe down the car? that may work.
I am surprised that you have not done that yet mark. like offset green strip big and a small down the car. maybe its because you have bright green Mooneggs on the left there but I have always like the flat black and green strip color combo

Re: Mooneggs 92 MX-3 Daily Driver IP 5/18 -Test fitting stuf
Well it's been a month or so since I've made an update. We've had amazing weather for the last 2.5 weeks or so. I've been getting a few things done:
Replaced both door seals
Finally got my coilovers adjusted to where they don't rub on the MS-01R 225/50/15 tires and then got an alignment.
I picked up another set of Eunos center caps, Eunos steering wheel center logo and a JDM fuse box cover.
I was also test fitting my MS bung to hold up the shift boot. It doesn't look like it will work unless I either cut the bung or the actual shifter. I think I need to find an alternative way to do this...
I finally got one of my Autozam keys cut for the DD (might as well make it official). There's something about using an authentic black key top that just feels good.
I also got a set of 16x7 +33 MS-01S in bronze - test fit pics below - I think I like them in bronze on primer.
I'm going to be moving in 2 weeks so I've been going through all my parts, etc and got rid of quite a bit of "stock" parts that I will never use. I had these all listed for free for a long time so why continue to hold on to stuff.
I've also been doing a ton of racing - I'll update my racing thread soon with videos and results.
