Damndable Dash

[Eviljayy21]

I am actually in the midst of Installing the dash of a mx3 from 1996. This is getting hard and tedious. I unfortunatley have to do it by myself. No one in my area will even take the job.
It might be that the dash requires cut and paste to the brackets, or the fact that I am also changing the climate controls to the 96.

Frustrated, constipated, diarea of the mind, and yet I have this overwhelming confidence it will get done.

Remember to take pics! I'd love to see pics during the disassembly. If it looks like mind-diarrhea, I'd just abandon that project myself

I really dont see why your going through all the trouble??? The 92 Dash is by far much nicer looking than the later models in my opinnion

But still think its cool your modding your car allthough i dislike what your doing to it

The older dash much nicer looking than the 94+ models? are you kidding? I have people who ride in my car for the first time ask me if its new after getting into it ('94 RS). The dash in the '93 and older models quickly answers any unspoken age questions. Oh well, thats my opinion, and you have yours.

i think the later model dash is to busy, at least for me it is, i like a simple interior and not a bubbly spaceship look

[DJsMX-3]

Excactely pappa roached 1992 is allso more symmetric and that about the 94 looking like a spaceship is so true i just thought it was cruel to say it..

Was beginning to think i was the onlyone that liked the old style, Thanks LOL

I have a 92 model, and every freaking time someone gets in my car for the first time I get this damn question:

"Hey, isn't this a mazda 323 dash???"

Argh, I hate the fact that they're right...bvah.

[papa roached]

its not a 323 dash, the 323 dash is more square, the hell me and my buddy put his 323 though

the 323F BG got the same dash. atleast around here. but yeah I like my 92 dash way better than the newer one. the only thing I would like from it is the button heater controls instead if those horrible sliders

Six if you get the pushbuttonstyle you cant use those nice Indiglo HVAC panels

[Gro Harlem]

the fact the newer style dash weighs a crapload more with the stupid electronic HVAC and solenoids required to operate them (more weight & more failure-prone) on top of dual airbags is reason enough to switch your 94+ style dash to a 93 style.
