Testing new parts...
Wouldn't it be great if we had a fund for a trustworthy person to try different things, new parts, etc..? It could go something like this;
When someone posts "Does anyone know if this works?", we could vote to see if it's worth trying, then put a few bucks each into a fund, and give it to someone trustworthy to buy the thing, and test it. If it works, the whole community would benifit.
I know.. It's a dream.
We could talk to the manufacturer about getting a test part for a discount, with the assurance that if it worked, people here would buy it.
Power in numbers!

Re: A dream for us...
If it did happen, I would think it would be one of the old schooler mx3.commers, who have proven a good rep. Especially someone who has access to a dyno, and/ or connection to aftermarket companies, CorkSport, etc..

Re: A dream for us...
If enough people were into it, we could just send a few bucks each to poeple who spend their own $$, and prove if something works, or not.
Who has free accesss to a dyno?

Re: A dream for us...
there's dyno in town but Im not sure how many people here trust me, I know fowljesse does since he invited me over and said I can stay there in his R/V for the party/meet. I usually just work for whatever parts I need, its not complicated that way... ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Re: A dream for us...
Mr. eggs would be a great choice. He does have plenty of learnins and both a gs and rs. Although I believe the rs was not supposda' be getting the "after market treatment"
I have never met the guy or claim know him... but I'd lend him my car if he was in town.
----unless he had some extra primer-----

![Embarassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
and I actually have 2 mx-3 GS... I don't have much experience with the RS models...
I'm hoping my influence is great enough that we will have 4 or 5 primered mx-3's running around this area

Re: A dream for us...
I'm biased, though, toward Mooneggs, because He lives close enough to me, Cjthor (another old schooler), and stereoking15, and we could combine our efforts.
