blaze93gs's mx-3 UPDATE smoked turn signals

[blaze93gs]

So i decided to start a worklog on my pride and joy. I've had the car for a year and couldnt be happier, but this little mx was used and abused before i picked it up. The last owner wanted it gone because "it's too old to fix" and that "it's not worth putting the money into it". So with that being said, lets get on to what i did so far to my little GS...

Replaced all the calipers and rotors
Replaced front and rear speakers (sony xplode)
Painted the hood black along with the mirrors and rear spoiler
Replaced all the Valve gaskets, tube seals, etc..
Tune up of course
Replaced drivers side auto seat belt
Replaced exhaust (stock one for now)
Replaced rear wheel hubs and bearings
Installed new kenwood head unit
KYB struts and H&R sport lowering springs and all new mounts and what not.

waiting to go on the car..
CS MS side skirts
strut bar

things i want to do to the car..
short shifter
aftermarket exhaust
smoked turn signals
projector head lights
HIDs



now for the pics...

when i first brought it home












the old nasty muffler


rear break rotor


old turn signal socket, i replaced it with one off of an mx-6


old o2 sensor


new one


comparison of the universal one and the one thats ment for the car


that was it for spring of last year not much but things you would normally do. I wish that i had pics of when the valve gaskets got done but oh well lol.

found this at work last summer

car looks very familiar

a couple of stickers i got for my car (thanks to my gf)




ricer section at my work




last summer replaced this head unit


for this one


first snowfall here in pittsburgh and it gave the back of my car a mustache


test fitting the cs ms sideskirts i got for christmas


met up with fellow mxer RedAutobotMX3 at the beginning of this month


all shined up inside and out....start on the out first lol














the week of my birthday (march 9th) started to get all of my parts together to lower the car



not a bad birthday gift to myself

all loaded up and ready to go get the struts assembled at my work


got all the struts assembled at my work and I was really excited to put the new struts on my car...the driver side went on with out a hitch, however when i went to do the passenger side...well lets just say I ended up spearing my driveway


and these are my olny good wrenches i have left after i broke five other ones

they were striaght at one time lmao

so with one coner of my car lowered, I went to work the next day and with some help got the rest of my struts on and aligned

sitting nice and low




has to be favorite pic of my car


strut bar i got last week


last week the gf had to take my car so we traded, i cleaned up her ride for her as any good bf would












hopefully I'll be getting my smoked turn signals by the end of this week or next week, but thats it so far. Its not as fancy as most of the other mx-3's on here but im happy

Nice looking mx! Wish I knew all you folks were around when I was still down in pittsburgh but maybe once I get back to trusting mine a bit more Ill come back down for a visit lol

[blaze93gs]

Haha thanks man and there's not too many of us around here lol how far away are you?

[Sleeper6]

Im up by rochester Ny now, but my brother lives down in butler pa. Also when I was down there darkrider still had his and I had convinced a friend to get an mx3 and do a bp swap in it too before he wrecked it. Just ran into to many issues and not enough funds when I was in pitt. Not to mention an explorer that rearranged my front fender...

[blaze93gs]

Oh that's not bad butlers not that far. That's a shame tho about your friends car and the bad luck you had down here. I'll have to hit up darkrider and see where's he at.

Great looking car. I love the "two pc." rotor pic.

[blaze93gs]

Thanks man and I never thought it was possible for a rotor to be that bad.

[mx3matt]

use the rotor hubs for spacers hahaha.

[blaze93gs]

Hahahahahaha I would just have to let my breaks go so I can complete the set.

[blaze93gs]

finally got my smoked turn signals


out with the old
