Savin's '95 MX-3 RS - Deja Vu

[benyandthejets]

Damn those seats are clean!!

[Savin]

There's a couple imperfections, but I can't complain!

I was planning to take more pictures, but once I started working, my mind was focused on the task. I did manage to take 2 pictures though! lol Also, I kept the manual locks. I did not convert them over.

Yoink the goodies:

Now in new home (also note a picture of the chrome handles finally, lol):

Will be in touch...

I'm seriously slacking on doing anything I planned to on this car. I still haven't installed the leather seats. All I've been doing is driving it...and having more dents put into it (stupid salesmen at work hit my car with his door TWICE in one day. Took paint off, too. There's no camera back there so I can't prove it...)

Maybe I'll make Surgeonasst222 help me install the seats when he comes to visit! Since I haven't done the V6 swap yet...

Bought a winter car to drive to keep this one off the salty road. The red car is a '93 V6 5 speed. Its rockers are pretty much shot. It has aftermarket sideskirts that were installed wrong so water got into the inner rockers. It drives completely different than the 4 cyl. Gas pedal is VERY sensitive!

welcome to the world of torque

[Savin]

Its not really that. if you just touch the gas pedal, it shoots up to 2500 rpm instantly. I didn't drive it far though. The guy I bought it from honestly lives one street over from where my storage parking is. I'll have time to mess with it later this week. It wouldn't pass emissions so I got it cheap. That's the first thing to worry about.

[Surgeonasst222]

Nice to hear from ya man, looks like u have been busy

Drop me a line some time, I totally owe u some wrench time or something!

[Savin]

Never did get around to posting pictures of the leather seats installed and the dash pad I had purchased. soooooo...

Well, status update on the car:
Old radiator blew sky high with a huge crack in the tank because the cooling fan burned out. I do not like driving in the summer with the heat on blast to help keep the engine cool. I installed a new radiator and cooling fan. Since I had to buy a 4 cyl rad, I'm just going to keep this car a 4cyl. Suspension overhaul is coming soon. Ordered new control arms and bushing/mounts for them. I have new swaybar endlinks ready to go. I have some ridiculous negative camber issues up front even after adjusting as must as possible. I have zx2 trailing arms for the rear thanks to the gray mx-3 and sway bar endlinks for the rear. Hopefully it'll ride like new.

Met up with Eric Cannon (not a member here) to pick up a rear bumper from him. Also met the kid who owns the white bpt with pvc piping. Both awesome guys to meet! We all went to the top level of a parking garage for pics!

Nice little mini-meet.
