hotsiit - 1993 MX-3 RS
Posted: May 26th, 2007, 4:51 pm
Hey everyone, thanks for checking out my worklog!
I'll try to keep this updated as I acquire parts and the transformation of my mx-3.
UPDATE
OLD motor and trans out
1st an old pic (around 2 years or so, not even sure)
These 2 pics are recent, as in today (Sat. 26th May 07)
So...first off, you probably notice that my mx3 is dirty and looks exactly the same in the new and old pics. Basically my mx-3 has not changed in 4 years (give or take).
This year, should be different! 
Current motor is the stock SOHC 1.6l 4cyl, with a T3 turbo on it, that pretty much blows all the oil out throw the breather filter on the valve cover, brakes are shot as well as the shocks / struts.
Plans are to swap in a 1.8l BP / BPT motor, a G-series 5spd tranny, running off a microtech standalone, with a bunch of other goodies / replacement parts.
Here is the new tranny, complete with jack-shaft
B&M short throw shifter
Assortment of SRD products: 3rd link bushing, shifter bushings, extension rod bushing, engine mount member bushings.
Brembo blank rotors (front) and Hawk pads (front)
New drive shafts for the G-series trans.
Spec stage 3 clutch kit
New HKS filter and a 3rd gen Rx-7 TT fuel pump. (i also have a 190lph walbro, but may just step up to a 255lph?)
In addittion to going standalone, I'll also be going disty-less.
Here is magnecor 8mm miata plug wires, a miata coil-pack, and miata CAS.
ETD turbo manifold for the T3 super 60 turbo, also looks pretty cool!
Greddy Profec B spec II electronic boost controller:
Used HKS ssqv bov
ZX2 S/R struts from ford racing, as well as the zx2 upper spring perches. (still waiting on the dust boot covers and thrust bearings to come in).
No pics of the BP motor yet. It is at the shop, which is closed for this holiday weekend, so I'll try to get some in the coming weekends. I still have lots of other parts to get and plans for everything to be done are sometime around end of summer.

I didnt want the links/ swaybar, but with only hand tools and with the yard closing i had no choice.
(also thanks for the heads up on the fog light switches).
...They are in great shape, just need to be cleaned. All the random bolts / clips are oem front bumper mounting hardware to mount the eunos front bumper.
