She's an SE, not just a regular GS.

[Ryan]

Mazda's 25th Anniversary Special Edition MX-3.

Featured THOSE wheels, leather interior, heated seats, Raspberry Metallic in colour, fully loaded, 2 extra HP... just goodies The interior is much desired.

[tripleMX-3chicMS]

WOW and i have one? Who else has one?

[Ryan]

Uh, Colin had one, and... Wytbishop? Mostly people just take the interior and run. Oh, one newer guy too... he and his sons work on it. Ganue?

[fowljesse]

You have 3, and didn't know you have an SE?! Not fair! How's the interior?

[tripleMX-3chicMS]

i feel more special then i did an hour ago. I thought the car color was a bit different from all the rest. It has always had a lot more punch when u step on the gas then my others. I hate that i hit a hog in it the first night i had it then hit a deer the next night. Was so not my week. I purchased a football and let the air out when i got home. I stuck the flat football under the bent and filled it back up with air to get the dent out. it left that nasty mark in the door and messed up the headlight area. But it can be fixed back to newish looking. When i start the re-do on this car, it will be more then looks. The motor has WAY over 200,000 miles on it. It had 100,000 when i got it 4 yrs ago this March. She was real nice when i got her. She cost me 2,000.00 $bucks. My others only cost 200.00

[fowljesse]

Holy crap, that's clever (with the football). way to go!
Unless your car is having problems, high miles doesn't necessarily mean you need to replace the engine. If it has been taken care of, these engines can go 600,000 miles without any problems (besides the parts made by Mitsubishi).

[tripleMX-3chicMS]

the high miles don't concern me, its the loose(ness) and the oil leaks. Oil leaks right into the alt. It isnt tight anymore. The inside gets moist and smells. The auto seat belt on the pass side drips water heavily onto the carpet and edge of the seat. The window doesnt leak and sunroof doesnt leak. But water pours in from that seat belt track.

[fowljesse]

Have you checked your spark plug wells? It sounds like you need new valve cover gaskets. Also, it sounds like your sunroof IS leaking It has a drainage tube that goes through there, and they sometimes get disconnected.
There are good threads about these things
If you have good compression, and spark, you can probably go for a while on that engine.

[tripleMX-3chicMS]

I replaced the plugs and wires 2 months ago. One well was full of oil and two were full of water and oil. I know i need gaskets badly. I didnt know about the drainage tube for the sunroof. I will check that.

WOW and i have one? Who else has one?

I've got one, although mine is Laguna blue.

SE crew, haha.
