Hey guys, I thought I ought to make an introductory post as long as I just signed up. I used to own a 93 gs and I loved it. I must have been crazy when I sold it off. Ever since I sold it maybe 5 years ago I look at the mx-3 everytime I see one and thing to myself "man, I loved that car." So i'm back looking for one again. At the moment I drive a 2004 srt-4 so if\when I go back to the mx-3 you better believe i'll be doing an engine swap and some work to it as I'd rather not have any less hp then I do now (about 300). Man things have changed since I was last a member on here ( I can't remember what my old screen name was!) I think before everyone said you couldn't get a turbo to fit and the klze was the way to go. Now it looks like the bpt and fe-3 are real options to make some nice power. Wonder if an srt-4 engine would fit? At least it's a platform i'm more familiar with. If anyone hears of a nice 3 for sale pm me!

Welcome man! I hope that if I ever end up selling my mx that I would have the desire to buy another one! Anyways, G/L on your search for a 3 :)

That's the one i've been most considering, though the fe3 has been very impressive. so far I think a klze-t and maybe run a gt3076R. Fast spool up with a double ball bearing turbo. Though it seems like most of you guys run 60 trims. Any particular reason?
