So Who Has Mx-3's That Aren't On The Road?

Seems to be like it's a rough year for many of us, car related and not. I'm curious to know exactly who have Mx-3's that aren't on the road. For what I know:

Mine : More likely valvetrain issues. Doing a full rebuild + mods
Devlin : Down for the count
Fieromx3 : Fixing various small problems (for what I remember)
Mx3autozam : Minor motor issues and some interior work
Mx3 GSR For Dummies : ZE swap and exterior work I think.

I think there's more, seems like it anyway.

hey guys,

well i just got mine back on the road from an accident which just this past winter. mechanicallly there were no damages and it runs great. that being said the exterior needs quite abit of work done to it, i'm hoping i can attend to that sometime this summer.

My MS no longer primes the fuel pump just before cranking. Could be hardware issues or relays.

Currently trying to test different leads on the board to see where the problem is.
No luck thus far; its been about 3 weeks since I last drove it.

A turbo upgrade is in the works once I sort this gremlin out.
Will be modifying my current setup to fit a bigger turbo and possibly reroute the IC from a side mount to front mount.

I dont want to modify the X-member, so im simply going to reflange my current setup.

Mines also off the road right now, debating on if I'm going to make it road worthy again? Needs brakes front & rear, and wound up with a rusted leaking brake line in the rear that I never got around to fixing, and a sticky EGR valve which almost failed the last E-Test because of it. Body is starting to rust a bit now too, I guess it might be time to retire her @ ~280kms maybe part her out here or put it up for sale cheap in the KW area....

Mines been off the road for 1.5 years and I believe it's a sign that I should find it a new home.

Yeah, turned from car swap to engine swap to body kit swap to suspension swap to time consuming swap! I have now even pushed the boundry and doing up the lighting to the interior since a car that is half apart in your garage should still glow LOL. The car will be in storage in a nice warm spot and able to go for a run indoors while it patiently waits to be revealed it in the spring!

Mines in the scrap heap somewhere, lol

Mine is also off the road, and she has been since I got her, I have to use dealer plates if I need to take her somewhere!!!
But she is only not on the road because she is becoming a racecar, and there is a lot of work to do!!!!!!!!
