Corksport no longer carries mx-3 parts?

Post by mitmaks »

I just went on their website and there's no mx-3 in menu. I guess they dropped mx-3 as it's not "popular" anymore?

Pretty sure it's been a few months now, no longer have the BG chassis there either.

2011.01.25
In order to maintain our excellent value, we regularly have to review where our efforts are best spent. Price, quality, support before/during/after the sale, shipping, packaging, and warranty all go into the value equation.

Last year we dropped 86-89 Mazda 323 and around 50 lines of products. We managed to release more products than at any time in our history last year. We launched our Knowledgebase and also began a more consumer friendly shipping policy.

Model Reductions & Eliminations

We are focusing our product line in order to offer better value to our customers through improved customer service and support.
Goodbye to the Ford Escort, Ford Probe, and Mazda 626.

We are phasing out all products for the aforementioned cars. Part sales for these cars have dropped 75% over the past few years!

Notice Mazda MX-3 & MX-6 Owners: We are leaving our catalog for those cars intact for the next 30 days. But this is probably our last year of parts sales for your car. After 30 days, we will remove all non-CorkSport Brand parts from our catalog and put remaining inventory on clearance.

In many respects, it is sad for us to have to drop these models. We started this company serving these models back in 1998. Unfortunately, the recession was the final death blow to these aging, but still great in their own right, cars.


Pending Price Changes

As previously mentioned in our blog, our prices will go up soon for many exhaust systems and components. Buy now and save 10-20% off our soon to be raised prices.

Most of our Fiberglass styling parts are for cars from the 80’s and 90’s. We’re dropping prices soon on most of those in a final attempt to increase sales. It’s very likely we’ll discontinue these parts in 2012. Please send us your feedback. We promise to read and consider all of it.

This sucks, where can we still buy mx-3 aftermarket parts?

I'll post dimensions and Autocad drawings of as many of the parts as I can reverse engineer.
Most pieces (Tower Strut Bars, Rear Anti-Sway Bar, Rear Tie Bar, etc.) can be made at your local machine shops.

Sadly, and I really hate to say it, but EBAY will continue to have MX3 stuff for a long time.

Coil Overs and Strut parts should be able to be found too... So many similar cars.

At least the Bronzoil Bushings are still available for all our cars.
