Are you really doing the Martini Shaker mod?
What do you use for air flow monitoring with the MegaSquirt?

I showed that to my mom and said

Thats awesome. Thats how you keep a nearly 20 year old car on the road.

This one's pretty old, but it's all I got...As you can see, it is being worked on in this shot, which explains why the oil catch can is sitting on the valve cover.

That's what I plan on using. Not only does it look pretty bad-@$$, but it serves it's purpose to reduce underhood temps too(a great downfall of both the I4 and V6 models)
What I'm surprised at is that not many have used a deeper aftermarket aluminum radiator. Sure, they don't really make one for our cars, but there are some universal ones out there...

They don't really make aftermarket rads for our cars. The stock rad works fine anyways.
Ppl don't really wrap headers for 4 reasons:
1: you can barely see it
2: it is nearly impossible to tightly wrap the primaries without doing a ghetto job
3: its possible that with the cheaper ss-autochrome style headers they will crack from the heat after time. Keep in mind thay after a good year of use, those headers will lose 50 perecent or so of there weight as they get thinner from the heat.
4: ppl with mx3s are usually to cheap to care
Project, don't sell your car!
