FS - The Goldmember - 11 second KL Turbo MX3 - Show Caliber
EDIT: Car is sold, thanks to all who contacted me and showed interest.
I had a buyer worked out privately but he fell thru at the last minute so I'm listing it on the forums for a little while before offering it to the open market.
Everyone knows the car, arguably the nicest MX3 in North America. Very clean setup, fast, and reliable.
Here's the basic rundown with some pics. Since the modlist pasted below I've added a full sequential fuel/spark MS3 setup and converted to coil on plug with HKS DLI and CBR Coils. I also did a mild build on the motor using Millenia S rods and forged JE pistons and KLG4 solid lifter heads. Currently tuned to a steady 505whp but no track numbers as of yet. The 11.9@124 was on a junkyard stock motor at 370whp so you can imagine the potential in the new setup. I was building it for a high 10 second pass in the 130mph+ area. The current clutch in the car is a Spec Stage 5 with the dual diaphragm pressure plate which has held the higher power flawlessly.
Some of the accolades for the car:
2010 HIN/NOPI Supershow Winner - Street-Sport Compact-Mazda
2009 NSCRA Class Finalist (didn't run the final round, rained out)
2009 South Florida Mazda Crew Epic Meet Feature Car
2008 Mazdapalooza - 3rd place Other Mazda (this was before paint/engine work was done)
I'm asking $10k obo, cash talks. This is by far the most complete package you'll find in an MX3 anywhere in the country. Mod list is below the pics. Certain things in the selling price are negotiable but at the full asking price you get the whole deal, all three or four sets of rims/tires, spare transmissions, spare axles, and a collection of spare parts. You don't just get the car, you get the whole operation.
I'm entertaining offers, but please don't insult me. I will only sell the car as a whole and WILL NOT consider any part out options. I would rather sell it to the junkyard than part it out. I'm happy to work with the transport company of your choice for out of area buyers.
For those asking the question of why I'm selling it. I have other priorities in my life that will be occupying my time for the near to distant future and will not permit me to race/show/enjoy the car. This car has hung with/beat many cars that most would say mx3s don't even deserve to pull up next to.
More info can be found at http://www.turbomx3.com which redirects to my cardomain site. I'll throw in the domain name with the sale of the car as well.

Props to one of the cleanest and properly built MX3's in the nation. Total perfection in every department. I will admit this car is what drove me to boost mine and I got as many tips as I could from Andy. Hopefully someone here buys it and keeps care of it.

Sad to see this one go. When I had questions Andy gave me advice and helped me out multiple times, and this MX-3 was an inspiration for me and I'm sure for everyone else as well. Thanks for your contributions to the community and good luck with everything man!

Re: FS - The Goldmember - 11 second KL Turbo MX3 - Show Cali
This car...makes me feel funny things in my loins... Could this be...love ???
If I had good enough credit to get a $9-$10k loan I'd be all over this in a heartbeat, read trip to Florida and everything. Unfortunately I'm just a poor student. How long are you going to be holding out until junkyarding it (although I doubt it WON'T sell)? I may be able to come up with a good piece of $10k by the end of summer...
