Ok, first off how about a little introduction about yourself? Next, your punctuation is horrible, you'll get flamed here for that so be warned. Finally, we need to know what model MX-3 you have, GS or RS (V6 or 4 banger). Use our search function or Google your questions a well, there's lots of info out there. We're here to help but not spoon feed so do a little research on your own.
Anyway, welcome to our forums and if you decide to stay consider donating to support this web site. Cheers, Dan. :D

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

What kind of numbers is your friend putting down, and is the car FWD or RWD?

Do you define "faster" as faster off the line, faster on a course, or the forum taboo "on the street"?

No disrespect intended, but if you're looking for #3 and not the others, you're in the wrong place.

lets start off with what is your budget? Anything can be done. Get a DE, boost it with the t3 kit. Get a stand alone EMS and some forged internals and you should be in good shape. Pending on what you can do yourself expect a few thousand $.

No idea, I don't sell it.

Ebay would be a good start, or google. It sounds like you are all about short/easy answers. I think you need to know waaaay more before you start buying anything. If you don't know the difference between good and crap parts, you shouldn't be buying them.

I don't feel like you are even close to being ready. Racing on the street.. seemingly little to no background. Not a great combo.

^ Kick this habit, please. You don't live near me, but any life you endanger beyond your own is worth far too much for this crap. If you accept the risk associated with racing, do it on a track. Nobody else on the road need accept the risk of you racing.

This I can respect, but you won't find much help here if you don't address the first quote somewhat. I'd hope not at least...

And how old are you? Apparently you have no bills so you spend everything on your car vs paying bills/mortgage. mx-3 is not the best car to spend your money on. Save your money and get yourself a house while they're still cheap.
