323 and Ford Escort bars fit. No mods. Same suspension.<p>Also, the Tockico shocks are from the Escort<p>and the PowerSlot disks are Escort too<p>or...<p>Make your own bars. That seems to be the big thing these days...<p>RF

leave the rev limiter alone. you can't go any faster at 7K or 7.5k RPMS. You just wear out the engine faster.<p>Get a turbo<p>Get some NOS<p>the rev limiter is a dead end.

I add this link. Although I am sure you have already looked at the docs at the MSD site.<p> http://www.msdignition.com/ <p>OK. Let's go step-by-step. Please bear with me. I want to be sure that I covered everything.<p>Make sure you have some sort of volt meter<p>remove the negative cable from the ...

Yes, there's much more to it. Like:<P>1 - You have to remove the engine you have.<P>2 - You need to change all of the gaskets on the replacement engine. They're probably as dry as a fart by now.<P>3 - You should possibly have the turbo re-built<P>4 - You need to come up with an intercooler<P>5 - You ...

I need that stupid piece of plastic inside the distributor that connects to the ignition.<P>It's not the cap or the rotor. It's the part that comes AFTER removing the rotor.<P>Willing to pay cash....<P>RF

SINCE NOBODY ACTUALLY PUT ANY PICS (that I can see from the posts)<P>I WILL POST MY PIC OF MY INTAKE.<P>(it's not a real cold air, but it's what I got)<P>AND NOW... MY INTAKE...<P> http://www.fbassociates.com/mx3/graphics/mx3_engine2_sm.jpg <P>taken from a Mazda 323. Or, you can do a Mitsubishi ...

yuck,<P>Dude. Forget it. You're wasting your money and time.<P>The thing will rattle and shake and break off in 6 months.<P>That I can GUARANTEE you will happen.<P>Or, worse yet, you'll get stuck in a big-ass rain storm and you'll go through a deep puddle of water in the road and say bye bye to your ...

Yup. Catalytic. <P>Either it's new or it's old and just took a permanent vacation.<P>Get a performance one and don't look back.

The O2 sensor in the exhaust... as in the header.<P>pop that sucker out and get it replaced.<P>I suggest that you get a big fat tune-up while you're at it. Then, take off the negative battery connector, stomp on the brake for about 10 seconds, then put the connector back on.<P>The ECU will reset ...

WHAT WE NEED IS TO GET SOME IMAGES ON THIS SITE SO WE CAN COMPARE AND DECIDE WHAT LOOKS GOOD.

Dude, after a HUGE rainstorm that lasted a few days, I had a nasty problem with hesitation.<P>I found a problem with the O2 sensor. It was all clogged up. I sprayed the sucker with a little bit of B12 Chemtool Carb Cleaner.<P>The gunk came off and it was all good.<P>Also, I have an Air/Fuel Meter on ...

to learn about the engine, repairs, maintenance, customizing, etc. The MX3 is a great lttle car to work on. The engine, electronics and internals are very forgiving.<P>I've made some mistakes, but overall the mods have been easy to make.<P>So, I take away the learning experiences from the MX3. Just ...

What would you all get after you run your MX3 into the ground (or sell it)???<P>The MP5 is silly with the back seat. It needs to be a 3-door coupe and it should be named MX3!!! Those bastards...<P>The Matrix is just hideous. And the Suzuki Aereo or whatever its called is just a clone of the Matrix ...

YUP! I am slowly finding out these very things myself.<P>The problem is that your (my) starting point is a very, very weak platform. The engine is rated at 88HP at the flywheel, you can only imagine how much is lost when it it gets to the wheel. Worst yet, if you have slapped on 17inch rims like I ...

Yep, you guys are right. I went and started looking at prices and how much something like this would actually hurt (literally and figuratively).<P>here is what I got in response from MAZDATRIX.COM:<P>"Easier (and cheaper) to do a tube frame chassis and then put on whatever bodywork you want."<P>They ...
