 Re: 1996 MX-3 V6 KL-ZE (Update) door panel repair
Hey man, car's lookin sweet as! Vinyl work looks top notch, and the car looks mint t/o! Good luck with finding a passenger side leather in as perfect condition as that one! it's fantastic! Though, I'd have thought that it'd be easier to find a passenger side one than a driver's side one in perfect condition...? On a side note, it might look cool to get clear side & front indicators to make them stand out & look a little newer... Could be a bit of a risk, though, as making them stand out more might look odd, but it's still an idea. In case you don't know already, we can take the indicators from the BA Astina Hardtop (the sexy sedan one) or the 121 'Bubble' if you can't find any clear ones on MX-3s where you are. In terms of side indicators, in Australia we have a car called the Commodore, and the VX Commodore's side indicators are a direct plug&play mod to the Eunos 30x's (Mx-3's) sold here in Australia... They look pretty sharp, and are pretty cheap here... But if shipping makes it expensive to buy these ones, I'm sure you can find a car where you're at that has a similar effect... Here's some ebay Aus links: Aftermarket ones http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Holden-Commo ... 2a0a1fa05bOr originals: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VR-VS-VT-VX- ... 45fcda6c62And when installed, they look like this:

 Re: 1996 MX-3 V6 KL-ZE (Update) door panel repair
Ya, that's on the to do list. I'm going to do the Euro bumper with J-spec front spoiler with fogs next I think I will do this at the same time. But thanks for lookin'. Also if anyone has any parts that I'm looking for check out my wish list. http://www.mx-3.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=78025

 Re: 1996 MX-3 V6 KL-ZE (Update) door panel repair
Nice! Should look sweet... To be honest, it wasn't until I saw your car that I noticed that some mx-3's don't have the fog lights built into the front bumper! haha! It'll definitely lift the car's looks, JDM lip is nice, too... I've been thinking of getting one myself (for some reason, my JDM imported Presso doesn't have the lip, or mini sides...  ), but haven't been certain I can be bothered with having them not match my paint/getting them resprayed haha! I look forward to seeing the updates as they come through

Sorry, I thought you meant the undercover shield I just unbolted the transmission cover to see if their was a oil leak coming from the transmission.

 Re: 1996 MX-3 V6 KL-ZE LSD Install & alarm
Haven't done anything on the car in a while, been very broke. finally got enough saved to do the LSD install after buying it from john. Their was a few obstacles to overcome before I installed it, #1 the axles especially the drivers side i have pictures to compare the original G5M-R axles to the new LSD transmission axle ends. I took the axle ends into a so called specialist and he told me he could find the right length shafts and use the LSD cut ends with some Mazda Familia spindle ends he got by accident a few years back. Well i got the axles off him at a cost of $300 per side, expensive ordeal I might say. #2 I tried putting the drivers side axle in and guess what it's 2" too long the joints bind together when installed  . As for the passenger side it installed flawlessly. So I decided to use my old drivers side axle for now until he can find a shorter shaft. check out the pictures. Comparing the differences of LSD axle end to original  Length difference  All my assortment of axles  Engine out   My new LSD transmission  Showing the NO bar through the LSD  Empty engine compartment, I spent some time cleaning a few things because of the gear oil leak.  After 10 hours of work engine is now going back in.   So I also have about 70 pictures of the entire process of my car getting painted but just too many to show so i am going to upload a few tomorrow. On top of that after a month out of the shop some dirty A-hole hit my car in a parking lot didn't do much damage but threw the entire front end out of alignment, the bumper (which needs repaint AGAIN), hood and fenders  This is been a shitty month for me after spending a lot time and money painting the entire car. It's been a deciding factor for me you CAN'T keep anything nice anymore, people don't care for your property and this pissed me off dearly. Quote is $800 to re-align and too pull the front end into place  . Not even a note left on my windshield and my deductible is $1000  so out of pocket again, I have a big target painted on my car I swear. I'm going to show pictures tomorrow as well.

 Re: 1996 MX-3 V6 KL-ZE (Update) LSD install
Here is my Alpine 8341 Window module installation, 1 module makes the windows go up when arming the alarm and second one makes them go down on my alarm when the EXT 1 is pressed. I tried to make it clean install, their was enough room to fit it in the door in the armrest cavity to try to keep it as close to the switch as possible. Also had to diode insulate the trigger wires so I took me quite a few hours to make it super duper good  Also you guys notice the focal crossover location I found a nifty location for it as well.   Also on the list is I need two more 8341 window modules to fold the mirrors in and out when arming and disarming, as well as sunroof close if it is opened when arming. If anyone has any they are willing to sell me please PM me thanks.  I didn't take any pictures of my Alpine SEC-R150 install it was an epic install too with radar sensor and shock sensor. Also i wired the relay to be normally open so come on thief's try and find my alpine module and relays.

What LSD unit are you using to have to change the ends?
