Funny you should say that.
I live in West London, UK, and anytime I go to the Ealing Broadway district, I park my MX-3 in the local carpark.

It's 7 levels high, and I park - you guessed it, on the ROOF!

It so happens that NOBODY want's to park way up there, so I genuinely end up with a ...

I can entirely see where Red Egg is coming from.
There does appear to be at least a nod to the design of the E -Type Jag in that poking shnoz with its cheeky oval maw.

It might not have been intentional, but it's there - and may well have helped Mazda sell more than a few of the rare little ...

How many liters does 300km use?
Automatic or manual?
Check your alignment, maybe try changing your brand of fuel (anything more than regular 87 octane is overkill for our cars)
Try accelerating a bit easier. Driving habits affect mileage big time.

Anything over 87 octane is overkill for the RS ...

Blimey Rsroadkilla! That really looks awesome! Good work!
There is something about the front your MX-3 - kinda menacing, aggressive - but not lethal - reminds me of a "Cylon" from the Battlestar Galactica TV series currently airing on Sky One, Tuesdays, 9pm.
Heck, the whole car wouldn't look out of ...

I just got my mx-3 too. I've got the 4cyl 1.6L DOHC. Others members suggested tne KLZE swap. Which would be better the KLZE or the BP or BPT? I'm really confused here.

Also I read somewhere that my engine has like 100 hp and like 90 ft-lbs torque how accurate is that info?


Actually, your RS has ...

That looks like an LCD TV/DVD screen in the centre console that is probably also an MP3 player.

That particular feature blows my mind, cos though my MX-3 is totally stock, that is one mod I would really like to do, kinda upgrades that DASH straight into the 21st Century.

Hi Anne!

I don't profess to be an automobile technology expert (though I do fall under the banner of "Computer Nerd") so let's see, we can probably work this out by proces of logical elimination.

Mazda a God? Hmmm.......!

In that case, every morning when you step out of your house to your car, as you stand before it, remember these words, often "Deeply Intoned" by the Late Goa'uld God, "Apophis".

Jaffa! Kneel before your God!!

or rather....

Driver!! Kneel before your God.

The Euro spec Mazda MX-3 definitely didn't come with the third rear brake light. I've seen loads of MX-3s in the UK and not one of them has it.

The Official Mazda MX-3 brochure also shows the cars without this.

And my 1998 RS - one of the last models made, on which Mazda graciously added disc ...
