So I was peeking through
http://wyldsidetech.com/mxwest/members.shtml#" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and saw that there is supposed to be 5-6 other mx-3's in Vancouver which have been active. Have they just vanished !!!
I know solo_rider and myself are active in the van area...Convinced my friend to get an mx aswell. But in a city this big there should be way more civic eaters out there.
So if you are in Van let me know, or if you know someone in van, kick them up off there fat asses and tell them to get on here..
Is Kevin Gee on the forms???

No, his MX-3 is up for sale. He is having a kid and stuff. You convince one of your other friends to buy his car. All it needs is a bpt. I would buy it if the import thing wasn't such a pain!

Going to replace piston rings and seals this weekend and hopefully put it all back together lol.
I would love to see your BP. I saw a black and white mx-3 on broadway in coquiltem. . . Once I get my car I am going to hunt them down and through the mx-3 flyer on it. The black had a combat front kit, I think.
In a couple weeks we should all meet up. . . I will let you guys know how the build goes this weekend, I am sure I will be calling solo if i fail misserably

Why when you have a factory repair manual online here?
Haynes or Chiltons is fcuking useless.

Well I hope the Chiltons does you better than it does me... even being an automotive machinist I find it very uninformative and the pictures are usually just generic pictures of probably some american car.
I'd seriously find someone with a printer and print out the factory manual of the section you need... you got to BCIT, go get a printing card.
