Re: what to call a mx3 klze
Well, seeing as no company ever made a KLZE MX-3, no one ever put anything 'official' to it. So, its your preference. I think GSR is lame, but I do like ZE MX-3.

Re: what to call a mx3 klze
GSR is an ol' skool name from back when they first did the 2.5 swaps. It does properly follow the RS-GS nomenclature.
There are a few threads about this:

I do like "GSR", but I've also been around for quite some time too...But I would never use it verbally.
I photoshopped a logo but I never got around to getting it made

Honda doesn't exclusively use the GSR badge, Mitsubishi uses it on the EVO. Both Japanese manufacturers

Re: what to call a mx3 klze
Yes stealthy like. We called them sleepers back in the day. You take an innocent looking car and put a modded engine in it. No one knows until they try to out accelerate you. I sold a friend a 65 Pontiac with a cracked 383cu.in. motor. 3 days later he's beside me on the street. He revs his engine and I tromp the gas pedal. He passes me like nothing, I say WTF. Turn out he had a 409cu.in. mill at home he swapped into it. We're talking 500hp here.JWMX3 wrote:Id rather not call it anything but an mx3 gs and pretend its a 1.8

Re: what to call a mx3 klze
I like that design mike - it looks oem! I just refuse to put any badges on my cars... I've even started telling people that my car is a Eunos Presso since I have all the parts that make it so ![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

Re: what to call a mx3 klze
Indeed. That was the exact idea. I lost my stock badges in the repaint so I wanted to make new ones.Mooneggs wrote:I like that design mike - it looks oem!
I literally took a picture of the GS badge and literally copied and pasted sections of the G and S to make about 80% of the R and I adjusted it from there....

Re: what to call a mx3 klze
I had some GSR decals on my car, they were reflective so they lit up at night.
![Image](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a121/gaiseric/MX3022.jpg)
But they didn't survive the sanding for the new paint. I was thinking about getting some new ones that say KLZE, but I kinda like the surprised/confused look on peoples faces.
