Finally finished my engine swap!!

Post by s1zzl3 »

Its been a busy year!
had to put my projector project on hold cuz i was having problems with the b6.. turns out it was a short in the wiring harness
found this out when i painstakingly went through the whole harness... i was sick of the engine and auto tranny
so i replaced everything including wiring harness
yep thats a b6 to bp swap and atx to mxt swap
andd i also added the bodykit painted it diamond white pearl and reclearcoated the car
check out the pics! (crappy phone pics)

Great job!
Now your wheel looks small. I like how you whited out the window black stuff, and the sideskirts look awesome. I was hoping to see slim visors painted to match a car. Looks perfect.

Its crazy how you look online all the time and see many different Mx-3's. Some your style and some not. When people do things like this to their Mx-3, It just reminds me even more of why I love this car.
You've got some awesome taste bro. The outside appearence of your car, seriously turns me on. Like, for real.
Very clean and sexy. It's an mx-3.

I really like the look of the MS sideskirts, I acctually have a set of pakfeifer side (not installed) but I'm really thinking to sell them and buy some MS sides, just gives it such a nice clean look

rain gutters? no i didnt lol
must be the lighting and bad picture quality haha.. that would look pretty sweet tho
i did get rid of the ugly antenna.. thinking about adding the smaller modern antenna in place of the rear washer sprayer
and yes i did paint the window trim and added painted visors to purposely give the windows a smaller profile.
oh, and the valve cover hopefully i can replace with one that says mazda in the future i jus need to find one lol
i want to have that modern look i jus need those spyder projectors and led tail lights!!

I still havent gotten around to taking better pics
ill try and get sum up tomorrow cuz i have a day off
the car runs perfectly too :) jus have slight issues with overheating cuz of a small crack in the rad :(
