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

[Mooneggs]

yes TSW FTW!!! maybe they are not as light but they are definately stylish... I love the Razor since it has only 4 lug holes instead of an ugly universal 8... makes it look OEM or made for the car....

[Savin]

As far as the rims are concerned...you having any luck finding another one? if not, I can do some more searching....i really have nothing better to do on weeknights, lol. just let me know and the hunt will begin.

[Mooneggs]

yes any help you can offer... I will buy it from anywhere in the world... I just keep checking different ebays around the globe...

The rim was only made in 2004 so it's discontinued of course... This is what to look for: A single 17 x 7 TSW Razor 4 x100 lug pattern preferably without a tire to save on shipping! thanks for the help!

[Mooneggs]

I finally got around to taking off my control arms, lubing them up and replacing the endlinks. One endlink came off perfect, the other I had to cut. I think I put on one of my nuts too tight on the back of the bushing oh well I torqued it to the specs on the instructions Also I still need to replace both balljoints at somepoint

We got snow too on saturday and then when it melted I put my TSW 17" Razors on.








oh yeah then I pull off some tape on the rim and I find a dime size piece of finish missing man I am still pissed off about that.... stupid tire mounting people

[wytbishop]

I'm gonna go ahead and say that those are the nicest rims I've ever seen on an MX-3. I am super jealous.

[Mooneggs]

thank you sir it took me 2 months to pick them out... I like them because they are not a universal lug and I just love how an 8 spoke wheel looks OH and the finish - it's not just silver and i hate chrome - it's HYPERSILVER FTW!

when I had 2 of them refinished over a year ago the color was also "ghost chrome"

[wytbishop]

I think I might import a Presso with the aggressive front lip, keep the lip, the mirrors, headlights and motor and part the rest out...just so I can be like you.

[Savin]

Moons, does this mean you found another rim? I can't seem to notice any heavily defective (scratched) rims in the pics.


Oh yeah....websites really need to update their pages, so many offer the rim which they no longer have, and the ones you called, well they removed the 17x7 on some of them just thought I'd let ya know.

[Mooneggs]

well at least they are updating their site because of my questions LOL... no I have not found another one... the bad rim is on the back passenger side... it's really only about a 3 inch section... but I put it on that side so I wouldn't have to look at it.

I still want to buy another rim I've been checking more links...

[Mooneggs]

a few more pics from a parking garage roof...



OH and I sprayed the bezel and dome light surround black! I did this in my bathtub since it was windy out and I don't have a garage...

innovation FTW!

hey mooneggs, I like what your doing with all the euro and jdm parts, I've got the right hand drive glass headlights from euorpe myself and I was wondering if the HID's worked well with yours, If it inhanced the light beam on the road.
Also I was wondering if you have done your rear foglight upgrade yet, thats what I'm going to do next for lights. keep up the good work, I can post pics of mine if you would like to see as soon as I take it out of storage.

[Mooneggs]

thanks, I have yet to get the correct bulbs for my HID kit... I'm running 9004 instead of the H4 and it's crap... I think I about to get the telescoping HID H4bulbs and see if they work any better.

I have done the rear foglight upgrade in both of my cars. I actually have the euro square taillights as well... I wouldn't recommend doing it in US spec taillights since it is going to look weird...

lol, i was going to say "hey!" about that comment, but I forgot, I have the Altezza housing behindmy stock lenses.

[seboroth]

no, I know about the euro spec tail lights, I'm just waiting for it to get warmer to buy them, or I was also thinking about doing the altezza lights painted red or under the stock lens. Most likely the euro spec ones though.
