Dark_Rider's 1992 4cyl MX3- "Dragon's Wrath"

Post by Dark_Rider2k3 »

Welcome to my very late work log for my 4cyl MX3. I have nicknamed it "Dragon's Wrath," as i'm big into dragons (both medieval and Japanese).

I unfortunately don't have many pics of the car when I first got it, but really nothing much has changed.

These 4 pics are my oldest. The first is from either December or January, '06 or '07

Image

The next 3 are from February 2007

Image


These are the pics of my sound system:

Alpine CDA-9856 w/ Ipod adapter (hidden in glove box)

Image


Sony Xplod amp (It's either 1200 or 1500 w.. cannot remember at the moment lol) and dual 12-inch Infinity Reference Subs

Image


Pic of my seat covers:

Image


Some pics of my spoiler (pre-paint)

Image

Image

Image


Pics of my spoiler (after paint)

Image

Image


Pic of my Mazdaspeed Steering wheel and Gauges

Image


These 2 pictures are of my Engine bay. I know it's DIRTY :oops:. It does show my NGK Wires and my Cold-Air Intake though :lol:


Image

Image


Below is a checklist of what is done, and the next few things to be added:

Completed:

CD deck
Sub amp
Sub
Steering Wheel
Gauges
Cold Air
NGK Plugs
NGK Wires


Current "to do" list:

Tune-up
Exhaust work
More "ricer" stuff :P
Upgrade front/rear speakers
Amp for front/rear speakers
Car PC
Bigger alt? (the alternator works great right now, and I have not noticed any power loss yet.. so idk if i'll need a bigger one..)

In the future:

KLZE? I mean, I may go with BPT for ease, but I'll do research on how hard it is for 4cyl to swap to KLZE when that time comes..

Well crap.. gotta go to work.. i'll update this with more info later tonight!!!

Hope you like the pics!!

Thanks a lot!! The front hood needs to be painted (it's got a lot of spots and crap), but yeah there really aren't any dings.. well there are, but they are so small you can't tell.. (though, when i find out who bumped into they will pay lol)

oh, and here are 2 of the latest pics of my exterior.. i took these after going to the drag races (yeah.. my car = slow lmao)
