ScooterBovine - 1993 MX-3 GS
Posted: April 28th, 2007, 11:11 pm
Here is the beginning of my worklog. So far, I have a Laguna Blue MX-3 GS with over 200,000 miles on it.
Current mods:
Front and Rear strut bars. I learned a lesson from these... Ebay can really suck! The front strut bar's threads were ALL JACKED UP! We had to use a lot of muscle to thread those bad boys. But at least we know the bolts won't go anywhere...
Fully adjustable KONI struts. These things are NICE! My car sticks to to ground really well. I might have to crank them up a notch or more on the front once I put in my KLZE in order to prevent some wheel hoppage.
Racing harness, blue. I dunno, it was already in the car when I got it, so I left it in there. I never use it, though...
MOMO Steering wheel. I love this wheel! The grip is great, and it still allowed me to utilize the cruise control funtions. My horn stopped working the other day, though, hmm...
Complete Stereo Overhaul. Polk MOMO 6.5" speakers all the way around powered by an Alpine 4 channel amplifier, and 2 10" Kicker subwoofers in the trunk. Custom subwoofer enclosure yet to come!
Pacesetter MONZA exhaust. Not a bad exhaust, no real problems yet. I thought it had rusted through, but upon inspection, it was a gasket by the Cat that went bad, causing the exhaust to leak and be loud. Once that was fixed, the exhaust was fine.
Custom Short Shift boot. I purchased it from Taras on this forum, along with an ebrake boot. Great quality, not yet installed though due to not having a short shifter... Yet. Speaking of Taras, anyone seen him on the forums lately?
FX Designs Combat rear bumper. Looks great on my car. I would have stayed with the stock, but it was on my last car until someone rear ended me and destroyed it. My friend Jay fixed it for me. Shortly after fixing it, he got in a bad car accident and died, so I put it on my car to honor his memory.
FX Designs Combat Spoiler. I put this on, but now I don't think I like it. It has cracked on the wing, and when I look back, all I see is spoiler in my window. The brake lights also don't work. All in all, I think it's going to come off and the GS spoiler is going back on. Anyone want a broken Combat Spoiler? Haha!
FX Designs Combat Side Skirts. Sitting in my garage waiting to go on my car. Someday, they will... Man, my car needs a paint job, too. And some dent removal to the various dings all over it.
That's about it for my current mods thus far. I just got some rims, but I forgot what they are. I will update this part when I find their name. Also, I have a KLZE motor ready to go into my car, just waiting till I have a week off in order to devote my full attention to the swap, and I still need to get the extra parts to go with it (water pump, timing belt, etc).
