By the time I did the swap I had converted nearly the entire chassis from the GS. The v6 will not bolt up unfortunately.

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

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....

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... Sorry Bo...

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

:lol:

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...
