Bought a 93 MX3 GS -Love it!

[chrismo]

I was looking for a cheap car and came across a few mx3's on craigslist. I didnt really know anything about them but liked the way they looked. I ended up buying one certified and e-tested for $1500. 310,000 KM on body 60,000 on engine.

What a great car! I love this thing! That little v6 has got some kick to it! It's 10x le$$ than my other car, but it's all I want to drive now. I've been reading up here, and I've got the mx3 bug.

Anyway - I've got a spare passenger side window motor & assembly (and wiring - No switch). If anyone wants it - take it free.
I'm in Toronto.

Welcome! That's how it started for me, too. I have my first MX-3 and an even faster one! Do you know if the engine is the 1.8, or could it be a 2.5?

[chrismo]

I was told they had replaced the engine without upgrading it. But I was surprised at how fast it is, so I looked for any identifying marks.... Couldn't really see anything on the engine itself, but the Air intake had a k8 stamped into it. Also it passed emissions, so I'm thinking it is the 1.8.

Welcome to the forum! Post up some pics of the ride

Don't forget to check out the Toronto Mx-3 section!

Here are some pics of my new ride.
Was this an original colour? I didnt see it listed as an option, but have seen other MX-3's the same colour.

Things to fix:
•The rear bumper has been badly repaired by the previous owner.
•Clean the paint off these rims, or fix up a set of 5 stars I have which are flaking paint.
• Justify a KLZE

All I ask is please be careful to that GS Lip. Please!

[chrismo]

Lips are hard to come by I assume?
I was thinking of removing it for the winter since it will likely bottom out in the snow.

[SmoothMX3]

Yep... Very hard to find. Consider yourself one of the lucky ones.

[solo_ryder]

Yea the color is called Laguna Blue. When I first wanted a MX3 that is the color I wanted oddly enough. Don't see many on the road that is for sure!

[fowljesse]

If you get to drive a ZE, it'll justify itself!

That car is beautiful

I want laguna blue

[chrismo]

It looks better in the photo than it does in real life. There a a bunch of tiny paint chips in the front, and the rear bumper was fiberglassed really badly.
Here's a pic of the bad bumper.


If I find a replacement bumper, I'll repaint. Otherwise I'll try re-doing the fiberglass fix. I've never used fiberglass before though. Only bondo.
