Im looking at buying a 1992 Mx3 (v6) being a lover of the Honda Crx i dont know much about the mazda area. I was wondering if the 92 mx3 can use the fx body kit?<BR>Thank you and also i was wondering if any one could tell me if there are any other sites that sale stuff like cam shafts and cam gears for mx3 or will the cam gears like they use on the crx work the ones that are adjustable and are like 50$ a shot or more thanks... dont laugh at me to much i dont know any thing about mazdas lol [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img] <B>null</B>

The GS model ran from 92-94 and the RS model ran from 92-95. The GS model has a 1.8L V6 engine (130HP 115TQ) while the RS model has a 1.6L I4 engine (105HP 100TQ). The most recognizable feature is the spoiler on the hatch. If there is one, it's a GS (unless someone with an RS put one on) and on the RS there's just a black piece. KPH refers to Kilometers Per Hour, that is on ALL cars (US has MPH on top and KPH on bottom of speedometer)<P>Go to <A HREF="http://www.corksport.com" TARGET=_blank>www.corksport.com</A> and they have an FX-Design kit for the MX-3. They also have pretty much any performance part you can find for a 1.8L or 1.6L MX-3.<P>If you're lookin for power, I'd suggest an engine swap. We have the 2.5L KL-03 (160HP 160TQ) and the 2.5L KL_ZE (200HP 160TQ) engines that will fit in your GS. Those engines in our cars will usually wipe the street with any of those ricer rides (including your CRX Sorry man :)) and won't look back. Then you have the option of turbocharging it. (if you do the 2.5L swap you will have to look for parts for the 2.5L MX-6, 626, or the Probe GT) <P>Just a little bit of advice for you personally. If you have any questions, lok in the upper right corner of the screen and there is a "search" link. Alot of people on this board will be an a-- if you ask a question that's already been asked. Just a heads up dood.

No WindShield wiper? Thought every car had wipers.. Well, if you are talking about the one in the back, who needs it? Maybe in the snowy condition, but rarely do I feel a need for it in the rain.<P>As far for speed, stock car, GS will be your best bet. The v-6 one. If you want economic, go with the 4 cylinders. But if you plan a swap, do your research, and you'll find the model you need :)
