Finally is right!
I read about it a couple years ago, and you left me hanging! I like the wraparound spoiler. You've got some good extras, too!
I'll be watching!

I think you should use the mazdspeed spoiler and sell the drag wraparound to me!
you've got a ton of sick rare parts man... I'm glad you decided to quit hiding in the woods and show us what you have! Looking forward to seeing the car in person, soon!

Seriously dude...where have you BEEEEEEN????
Your stuff from 5 years ago was my major inspiration for getting really deep in the MX-3 scene. I honestly thought you had just left the MX-3 world and moved on. I’m so glad that you’re finishing your build. I can’t wait to see everything you’ve done.

I remember hearing about the AWD mx-3 and was amazed by it. Glad to see you continue this work!
You have an awesome MX sir!

1. Find someone to duplicate those side skirts. Fiberglass is acceptable.
2. What does that carbon fiber piece go to?
3. Where did you get the ground controls from? Are the sleeves notched out?
4. I deffinatey like the wrap around best.
5. We need a smiley for bowing down.

Awesome Rare Parts.... I think i need to wipe the drool off my keyboard now. And normally Ild say use the wraparound spoiler to keep the performance look but with all those rare goodies that mx3 deserves that mazdaspeed wing. And ditto on pox, make us some fiberglass duplicates! that would be awesome!

Josh, what struts are you gonna be running with those ground controls?
I would say the MS spoiler actually doesnt look that bad on your car, but overall I would go with a stock garnish

Actually inspirational. How's the gearbox holding up? I like the mazdaspeed wing best. I'd love to see this car let loose on a gravel car park, or a really wet day

Thanks for all the comments guys. I’m siding with the MS spoiler as well. So the drag spoiler might just be up for grabs when I finish fiber glassing it. The car has been down for 3 years now, took all the electronics off my car to help a buddy get his turbo mx up and he ran with the parts, so it’s been down. Car accident, 4 knee surgeries, going to flight school...... goes on and on thus the reason I haven’t been around. BUT NOW IM BACK!
hopefully the car will be up soon still have some parts to source out and im going to be remounting the drive system rear end drive shaft and im going to refab the rear motor mount. I have a BIG brake conversion that im working on with 2nd gen RX-7 4 piston calipers. Lots of stuff to follow. Thanks for all the support it will be amazing when im done.
The trans is holding up fine. although im debating a rebuild, found a forged gear set for 4K, not sure if I want to push it yet.
