Josh's 94' GS - Updated 08/11/13
Well for months I was on a search to find a white 94-96 GS. Well I became extremely lucky and came across this viewtopic.php?f=2&t=78183 Thank you Whisper
So to date this is what the car has in it.
-A 2.5L KLZE 31 motor with a curve neck IM
-94 MX6 ECU and VAF
-ACT Stage 1 clutch (think it has a light flywheel, but I don't remember which)
- Reactive strut tower bars
-Whiteline Swaybar
-AST coilovers, fully corner balanced
-K&N CAI
-2.5" all the way through, high flow cat, ceramic coated headers
-HEI ignition module
-brand new distributor
-SuperPro urethane suspension bushings with custom rear LCA bushings
-Shifter bracket (keeps shifter from falling through - known issue on old MX-3s)
-AWR urethane engine mounts
-Interprep valve springs, KL-DE retainers/locks
-Cusco camber plates in the front
-949 Racing wheels with some Hankook RS2s melted to perfection
-Brakes - Axxis Ultimates in the front, and EBC Greenstuff in the rear - still plenty of pad
-Braided SS brake lines
-I have just recently replaced the shifter bushings with Corksports bronz bushings (A MUST for anyone who has not).
-92-93 bucket seats
minus a couple of minor interior things this car is amazingly clean and well maintained
What she looked like when I first got her
The day I brought her home
My first MOD, the swap of my MS wheel from the RX-8
clear corners and EDM signals
Out with the old ratty speakers and in with the new, Infinity Ref components (I have had them sitting for the RS for like 6 years)
Whoops... Dumb @$$. this is why you dont put your finger behind a piece of plastic your drilling with a hole saw bit...
this is a good picture, if i were to flip the flap open you could see the tendon on the side of my knuckle, and the end of a blood vane was sticking out the side of my finger. I tucked that back in there...
This is what happens when one (I.E. ME) leaves his component module on the ground and he rolls his car. I did not realize the board was broken until after I installed it..
All Fixed and working perfectly
Final product
JDM power folding goodness in that last pic, that mirror is a wide angle passenger mirror too objects are larger than they appear
Old Skool Razzo pedals I have had laying around for ever
Debadged the car, and the start of the new look
3rd eye mod - installed Lexus LED 3rd eye into MX housing
That's it for the time being. But I have more to come. Some of the mods done on this car will eventually be swapped onto my AWD RS.
I figured I would get a WL started before I get too far into things. There is a face lift to follow soon, with the addition of the MS spoiler I have laying around, and larger brakes, and a different rear exhaust tip. You know good stuff

Re: Josh's 94' GS - a new beginning
What model Lexus are those LEDs from?? They are nice!! Now all you need for your steering wheel is the Mazda momo horn cover!!!
It looks awesome though I love MX3s in white!! Very clean but I am biased on the though!

Re: Josh's 94' GS - a new beginning
wow your new car looks awesome josh. for some reason when i herd you got a klze "winter" car i figured it would be a beater... do you have any pics of it with the rx8 wheel installed? is it a direct fit or is any modification needed that you know of?
how do the tweeters sound in that location? i was thinking of putting them there but i didnt think there was enough room. i ended up putting them onto the panel on the front of the dash that the vin bolts too.

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.

Re: Josh's 94' GS - a new beginning
Very clean looking car! Looks awesome with those lights and I'm surprised how well the badge looks. A nice set of MS03s would be cool as f---.

Re: Josh's 94' GS - a new beginning
not much at all. some minor tuning things and exterior and she will be perfect, at least in my eyes
I am kind of thinking a 5 lug conversion and running 16x8 +30 MS01's... I need to check clearances first but I think that should be a pretty flush fitment. I don't want a MEXI fitment. MY RS has 17x7.5's with like a +42 so they should clear pretty well.

Re: Josh's 94' GS - a new beginning
Wow, awesome find! Like you say, not much else to upgrade! 5-lug would be pimp, though - if I get a second MX (which I hope to do after I return from my Student Exchange next yr), then I will defs be doing that!!
I've also been always trying to figure out if there is a suspension setup that rides comfortably & handles well, as I find my suspension not very comfy, and it could defs handle better! Looks like I've found said setup... and won't be able to afford it for a while yet!!!

Re: Josh's 94' GS - a new beginning
OOhh shes nice!! Got the potential to be clean and classy Projectors are spoiling it for me a bit a little though
5 stud conversion would surely open up a whole new world of wheels beyond MS though wouldnt it?!
Looking forward to seeing it evolve
