the mazda mx-3 made the cut!

[Mooneggs]

lol they got all the ratings wrong ... should have been:

Mazda MX-3: 29 city/35 hwy

1992 Mazda MX-3, 4 cyl., 1.6L, five-speed manual
Stock performance: C (D IMO 88hp FTL)
Industry support: C (D IMO no parts for us)
Motorsports potential: C (A IMO swap a BP-T... now you're rolling )
Cool factor: B (A+ IMO it's an MX-3 OF COURSE it's cool )

You could almost say that the Mazda MX-3 was the spiritual successor to Honda’s CRX. Not only did the MX-3 carry the egg-shaped body style through much of the ‘90s, but like the CRX, Mazda’s little compact also managed good gas mileage. The six-cylinder version of the MX-3 wasn’t quite as fuel efficient, but it still posted decent EPA numbers of 23 city and 28 highway.

still cool it's mentioned though! and Dana stop posting EVERYTHING in the v6 technical/performance section

[stereoking15]

but where else should i mention the v6 attributes of such a great car

[Mooneggs]

general mazda since it mentions the v6 and the 4 cylinder... no biggie we'll move it tomorrow

ha, didn't know which one to post a reply to this one or the one in the 4cyl thread. oh well.
still its awesome! we're actually mentioned...kinda stinks that they gave us a C on pretty much everything tho

Must not have been in many fast cars, those B16s are a waste of money even when turbo'd. Even the Honda guys around here consider them a waste, its only B18s, B20s, H22s, G22s, K20s, and K24s out here.

okay.. lol the car was still fast even thow it was a b16

Once I get mine dialed in with 200whp, 100lb weight reduction, and LSD this summer.....
Back on topic:
My stock GS is WAY more fun to drive than any car I've driven that gets 34mpg.
Even running rich, my fast car gets 33mpg. When I put in the taller gears, and tune it. I'm hoping for 37mpg, maybe more.

How did you acomplish all that fuel saving?
