By the time I did the swap I had converted nearly the entire chassis from the GS. The v6 will not bolt up unfortunately.sinix3 wrote:i have a quick question about the awd conversion. will it work with a gs? like the v6 turned?

Awesome man. Your one of my MX3 Hero's for sure haha. I just wanted to say though, I think you've done a great job with the exterior styling of your car. It doesn't look to insane but will definately make ppl look over there shourlder and say," what kind of car is that daddy??". hahahaha

Re: Josh's AWD Worklog updated 09/25/12 for ROB
Thanks, I will have more updates here very soon. The idea on exterior is keeping it original Mazda parts with subtle changes that most will not if ever notice many good things to come....

Re: Josh's AWD Worklog updated 09/25/12 for ROB
Oh... This car has been parted and sold... I was convinced months back that BP's were a wast of time and money and real raw power can only be harnessed from an NA KL. In others words boosting cars was cheating, cheep, and an inefficient way of getting power... Furthermore converting a FWD car to AWD was not original nor was it anything to be proud of...

Yeah all you did was bolt on GTX parts Josh, that takes no skill at all so there is no need to be proud /s

Re: Josh's AWD Worklog updated 09/25/12 for ROB
I am just Joshin ya... Really my wife of 11.5 years would never let me sell that car with all that I have put into it. Things are happening, just not sure if I want to blast it all just yet. I think the plan is to do a full unavailing in like the next 4 to 6 months. I am doing some interesting things that have been discussed but never really fully done...

Fine I will take some photos of it in the next few days... maybe.. Stupid GS project getting in the way.. haha. Well it is near completion so will be able to transition and focus time on the RS more. Still looking like an end of July early AUG when it will be back on the street.
