WHY MX-3's are so OVERLOOKED!!!

Post by KingFisher »

What's up fellow MXers... Just wanted to know if any of you get a little PI$$ED off when looking into the wonderful world of aftermarket accessories for the MX-3. First off I would like to know why people would pay anything for a low class ecconemy Civic hatch.. They are crap from the factory. MX-3's are luxury in comparison. I definately look down on many manufacturers for overlooking this great car. There are next to no companies that will do SH!T for this car and it makes me mad. A simple thing like Intake you cant just go and buy without spending an arm and a leg and if you get a cheaper one you have to make changes. WHY don't companies care for the MX-3?????? Any how all I wanted to say is that for such a great sports compact car they are WAY WAY to overlooked and it makes me wonder about the whole scene... Image

i personally think that there are only few companies that produce aftermarket parts for the mx-3 because mazda only made them for 4 yrs in the states. the lack of sales also is a factor. for me it is better that i can't find lots of parts. i'd have no money.<P>------------------<BR>93 MX-3

Hey just thought I would remind you guys that the MX-3's arent the only cars that get crapped on in the aftermarket stuff. Its alot easier to find stuff for the MX-3 than it is to find stuff for my fiancees Sentra SE-r. So we really arent as poor and pitiful as it seems sometimes.<P>------------------<BR>Megen Murphy<BR>Dont hate me because Im beautiful, hate me because my car looks better than your boyfriends!

I'm with cjthor. It was only about 3 weeks ago that I chased down a black 94+ RS and talked to him. (would've talked a bit longer but his woman was wit him) Anywho, somehow I forgot to mention mx-3.com but I did go back and leave a note under his wiper Image Wish I'd had a flyer on me. Unfortunatly, I haven't seen him since and there are next to no MX's around.<P>mason<BR>MX3SE

tru tru tru, but it's cool to assemble the cool MX'ers that are around. Most of us are different than alot of those "honda clicks", not to try and put them down or anything. Just my opinion. Plus, isn't it cool to see a few MX'ers sitting together! That really throws off the public cause they don't know what it is and there's more than one and they're trying to take over teh world!! Ok, not really, I was just getting a little excited Image<P>mason<BR>MX3SE
