Today in Winnipeg I saw a black GS with one of the spoilers, not the wraparound. It had aftermarket rims, with red circle accents near the hub? It was parked infront of a bar or something? I don't remember. the street was... Pembina, like 2 mins past the university. I didn't see it very well.

Saturday, May 31st at about 4:00?

[Ryan]

I also saw today a red MX3 with a bra, driven by a middle aged man. On the road that is University Cres if you drive straight. Sorry, I'm not street name savy

[Ryan]

Oh, I saw a white lady driven one on the south side perimiter the other day!

I'm feeling kinda lonely in the province...

hey man im from brandon but i bought my 92 in winnipeg

[Ryan]

Heey I was in brandon all last week, always parked at the keystone... I should be back down for the summer fair. we should meet up. I'll have my BP by then.

[92greenmachine]

well i don't know how long i'll have my mazda lol well its just im fustrated with parts right now... where would i find a new trailing link for the rear suspension mine broke while driving on these horrible pot hole streets... i'd like to get somthing stiffer then factory but right now id settle for factory the boys in brandon told me it would be like 2 to 3 weeks to get a new one i just am fustrated with it any pointers? it is a percidia addition if that helps

[Ryan]

Wesman salvage has 2 or 3 Mx's. I've pulled trailings while the car is on the ground, but its much easier when its in teh air.., I know they can pull parts for you, but I don't know how it all works. Only visited once.

My Mazda dealership wanted $74 for both. I installed them myself.

All Canadians are Precidia

V6 or 4 cyl?

[92greenmachine]

yeah im heading out to westman tomorrow but not for trailing arms just for a rear strut its cheaper then buying new right now and its just till i have enough money to buy new... i found trailing arms out of winnerspeg and they are being shipped out here and should be here tomorrow or wednesday.... its a 4 banger... is there any performance mods for the 4's? and if so were in manitoba could i find such a thing?

[Ryan]

The main performance mod is a BP swap. the B6's really lack aftermarket support.


I'll be in Brandon the 3rd-7th of June at least.

[92greenmachine]

ok i am use too chevy v8's and fords so can you bring me up to date what the lingo is for the mx3 motors please well mazda.

the 323 came with a turboed 1.6 correct? would that swap be possible? or what would be the easiest cheapest and best switch?

thanks

Brendan

and I work for AutoCity Mazda, 101 on Route 12 in Steinbach.

some 323 came with a 1.6T called a B6T. rareish engine. Not the best out there.

Skim over that. All of those fit up to BPT.

BP is best bang for your buck. nearly invincible motor, takes boost well, same hp as the stock v6, and myriad of aftermarket support. It was also a miata motor for awhile.

[92greenmachine]

how hard is it to got your hands on a bp and what kind of money would i be looking at? like i said im a chevy full size guy and desided if i got a tuner why not make it big and flashy too.

if i do a swap question 1 will it bolt up to the factory 5 speed? and 2 will i have to completely re wire everything?

i have a 80 firebird and when i droped th motor in it, it took 3 wires and 2 fuel lines to hook up to start lol i don't think a tuner is that easy

[Ryan]

Depends on where you get it. I've heard 100-600. I paid 300.

BP is simple on a 92/93. Run 3 extra wires, splice one, and everything else is the same and interchangeable.

on 94+ you need engine harness to make it easy (which isn't hard)

all B series trannies bolt to eachother.
