Sooo I picked up a ton of goodies from good ol' Anthony/Diezzel for my CF hood. I haven't got any pics right now but I'll throw them up later today.
What I got:
-Euro side skirts w/ hardware
-Euro bumper w/ lip and Euro support-->Unfortunately is red so I'm gonna need to paint it
-Fog lights w/ switch
-Euro clears
-Tow hook
-B&M short shifter
-Intrax lowering springs(Used to belong to Mooneggs
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
)
-Strut mounts
-Eunos side sills
And as you can tell from the last page of my work log that means I have all of the pieces of my Suspension!!! Now to put them together! Which has proven problematic as I need to rent spring compressors and an impact wrench, I haven't found anywhere that doesn't need a credit card for rental, and BC requires you to be 19 to get a credit card
I havent' been too proactive in my search I will admit, I've been very busy with other stuff.

I used the partsource one a couple times, not sure if I needed to give them a credit card or not.

When i rented spring compressors from partsource they didn't need a credit card but needed an $89 deposit or something high like that.

So a couple of things happened today.......
I found out the struts i purchased are for 95-98 Proteges-not compatible with MX3s. So I"m not the search for struts
But I found my phone cable! So pictures muahahahha
So I went out to Red Deer to pick up my goodies as I mentioned before.
Not pictured: I got a black hood with a Eunos badge. Just 'cause.

It was a tight fit, but nothing my MX3 couldn't handle.

I sanded down and primed up the tow hook. the Hook bit is going to be yellow(matching my callipers) and the rest will be black

So I finally managed to remove the can of nite shade I used on my stock tail lights. OH dear was that hard. I used nail polish remover and a sand sponge to get them off. Now that I have it off I have no idea what I want to do with it haha.

So an update:
I installed a short shifter
![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)
All by myself..
Not gonna lie, it was a bit of a struggle. I successfully found a way to safely jack up my car
And go all of the trim removed around the shifter(yes in this order), then I scooted underneath and removed the bolt that was holding the shifter in. Removed the shifter, threw in the new shifter, then scooted back under the car. Then I forgot I didn;'t put in the copper bushings I got
![Embarassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
so I pull it out again, remove the old ones and put in the others. Threw it back in again, I scooted under the car and when I tried to fit the bottom of the shifter into the linkage, it wouldn't fit.
![Image](http://byebyesuckas.com/images/chinese_anger.jpg)
But I muscled it in, then another problem occurred.
I couldn't line up the hole for the bolt in the shifter and the holes in the linkage. I probably took about an hour to finally get it lined up and in, but I was successful! I rewarded myself with these stickers!

Heres some pics of the Short throw shifter, not sure what I was trying to get through as i should have actually measured the before and after.
Neutral

1st
I found something else when my car was jacked up, as well as a broken sway bar link :'(
![Image](http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k549/RobMinhas/IMG-20120229-00442.jpg)
and I found something weird underneath where my heated seat switches would go, if i had heated seats
I got my tokico blues in the mail!
![Image](http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k549/RobMinhas/IMG-20120309-00466.jpg)
and I installed a sway bar along with a new air filter

Nope, those are different. Every Mx-3's with non-heated seats have those.

What purpose do they serve? I ask because Evo_Spec doesn't have them.

No clue!
Never seen an Mx-3 not come with them tho, but I've only worked on 92-93's it seems
