Mooneggs 92 MX-3 Race Car IP - 2013 in Review

Post by **Mooneggs** » June 26th, 2007, 6:30 pm

alright well I got in the switch yesterday and it is in perfect shape! once I get my euro heating vents in I'll put it in... but I think it lights up because it is transparent looking! cool stuff...

it's interesting I got this from germany in 5 days but I have been waiting almost a month for a package from canada!

alright I made some decent progress last weekend...

I installed the h4 glass headlights with my 9004 HID kit... I need to figure out why the adjusting screws are not working because the lights need to be adjusted...

I also installed my JDM fog lights (white) but have not wired them up yet:

After that I installed my euro vents and light up hazard switch:

I finally received my wrap around spoiler caps in the mail so once I finally prime the car again I'll prime the spoiler to match and put the caps on (that's 2 sets in the picture):

What are you doing with your stock vents?

I would like to replace mine with stcok ones.

PM ME if you are selling them or are interestedin selling them. I am poor, but those look to be in great shape.

Cut me a deal!

what are the US spec headlights made of? are they meant to be that yellowish color???

Post by **Mooneggs** » July 12th, 2007, 12:10 pm

lol they are plastic. I just hadn't cleaned mine in a while but you have to keep cleaning them because they will yellow again in a few weeks!

that's why I got a glass set - no more repetitive cleaning!

Looks great Mark! Bring it by sometime so I can see them.

normally I drive the fast car on trips to millington cause it's so far away

I'll bring it by eventually

I finally got my euro strut bar in the mail... took it about 7 weeks to arrive - I guess it got lost in the mail LOL! I'll probably put it on this weekend... I may test it out in the klze and see if it clears the IM

I also got this old school shifter out of an 88 626 LOL I might use it until I get my euro one...

Hey, how did you wire up that hazzard switch and get the light to work?

Post by **Mooneggs** » August 2nd, 2007, 10:28 am

it's plugged into the A/C switch right now LOL

I got some video of how it is supposed to look so I'll have to transfer over the hazard wires and figure out how to get it to work correctly with the hazard lights.

once I get the rest of my setup I'll shed light on it but soon I should have all the parts I need:D

muahahahahahaha

Well I made some progress last weekend and did a few things...

I installed my euro strut bar on the slow car and I have noticed a little stiffer handling

The old one was kind of beat up...

I also swapped rims with the fast car... I think it gives the slow car a more aggressive look

And then I finally installed my canadian wrap around spoiler! I primed it and drilled the holes for the arms then installed the caps... looks freakin awesome! I resprayed the ghost altezzas and put them on the slow car too...

looks good mark

I finally got the front fog lights all wired up! One of the bulbs was blown so I had to figure out how to replace it... luckily it was very simple! 2 screws and the whole thing comes off the front and I just got another h3 bulb! I also found out that they can be adjusted. I adjusted both sides all the way up and they light up the road very nicely!

On 9/11/07 between 9-11pm the slow car was violated

read about it here: http://www.mx-3.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.ph ... highlight=

on a side note I got my new clear signals today that I ordered off of ebay... they are very nice! highly recommended. They already have chrome inside instead of the ugly grey or orange.

I'll modify them this weekend and cut out the smaller hole (where DRL's go) and install them. They should look much better than the clears I have there now that have turned yellowish

Oh I also reworked my set of JDM PFM and rearranged the switches to match OEM placement:

so I didn't realize how diry the clear corners have gotten over the last 4 years! lol

(the yellow ones are the old ones) The gray ones are new from EBAY. They came with chrome painted insides that's what makes them sparkle so much better. On the yellow ones I had wrapped foil reflective tape all over them...lol

I think you miss towing hook which is somewhere in my garage, hehe. Plus, do you still have the center console (2DIN) for me?

E-mail me, if it is still available. Thank you. Steve
