The Pile.... 1992 MX-3 GS....
Never made a worklog over here.. figure I might as well.. This is just kind of a quick basis of whats happened with the car.. I have had this car since 2007, got it in a trade off of probetalk, I dont know who had done any previous modifications to the car as the owner at the time was pretty clueless.. It was already KL swapped with a curved neck ZE but from spraying the s--- out of it, it had 2 spun bearings.. I lost alot of pictures from a previous HD crash but I have a few on my photobucket from when I first got the car..
I let the car sit for a few years working on other projects and just collecting parts.. Robbed a bunch of parts off the car for this car for a while, until I parted it out.. was a fun sleeper..
Car is originally a champaign with tan interior car... I stripped a 95 RS at the yard of its interior and did the dash swap as well.. but I hate the 94+ seats.. Also accidentally shattered rear window so swapped the wiperless rear glass in, in 2010.. Also got off my a-- and tossed a DE in it to drive it..
2011 came and I had swapped a ZE in my probe, but wanted to put it in my MX3.. so I swapped the engines between the 2 cars.. and installed some 2004 tiburon leather seats.
Then added some 30mm spacers... and new working sunroof, AWR mounts...
really terrible accel video from last year off my phone

2012.... 5 lug swap.. ms bumper.. turbo..... rx8 rims... coilovers.. new hood so no more scoop... alot more goin on... yall will have to check back for updates..

What a car you've got there! I'm quite jealous!
Also, theres a pic of your car with the hood popped pre turbo/5 lug/MS bumper that was actually one of the first tuned MX3 pictures I ever saw! It inspired me a bit to do stuff with my car.

Re: The Pile.... 1992 MX-3 GS....
thanks for the love guys! I will do my best to keep this updated.. I probably wont be too busy with the car for a couple weeks, cuz I will be swapping the ZE back into the probe, and putting the DE back in the mx3... yea.. musical engines.. but I dont wanna risk blowing up the ZE when the DE can be just as fast as the ZE just with an extra couple PSI

Re: The Pile.... 1992 MX-3 GS....
Question about the tiburon seats, did you have to weld custom rails or were the tiburon rails compatible with the MX3 or MX3 rails with the tiburon seats?

I kept the rails and everything factory on the tiburon seats, and welded new mounts on the floor for the seats to bolt on...

Re: The Pile.... 1992 MX-3 GS....
nice car. good work on those seats aswell, they fit the car nicely and the quick release at the top of the seat is a nice feature in a 2 door...
Re: The Pile.... 1992 MX-3 GS....
Was it a simple swap on the 5 lug hubs? I have some m edition mx6 wheels I have been camping on for way to long. Were you running the mx-3 harness/trans/mounts/engine cradle/linkage in that protege to get a KL in it? I heard those cars can handle better than mx-3s because they are longer & not weightless in the back like mx-3s.
Need before pics on this build. That would make it even more sick. Pics of probe too, I have had a few probes the flip up headlights make probes I think well ya and a v6 & nice handling.
