how hard is it to do a sex change from a mazda to an acura? lol, jk but really, r the mx-3 and rsx close fitment? like did the bumper etc. almost line up perfectly or was there a ton of custom work... they do seem to be pretty close in size/contours to me, but then again looks can be very deceptive...

interestingly enough, the 2005 rsx's have headlights a lot more similar to the mx-3 than the ones u chose, but that seems almost a moot point in your case, because u used the rsx bumper and what looks to be an rsx hood instead of fitting your rsx headlight's to the mx-3 body...

coming along nicely! I was wondering what was up w/ this conversion. Haven't seen you on here lately, thanks for the update. Then again if I had an 02 WRX, I wouldn't be workin on the mx-3 as much either!

there was a lot of cutting off the front to make everything fit just right, car is probably about 30 pounds lighter now with all of the cutting involved. The RSX is about 3 to 4 inches wider than the MX-3's. Front bumper of the RSX still had to be cut and reshaped on the side.

the reason ive been working on the WRX is I was the quick on out of the group of guys I run with up here and now that the MX-3 is down for a while the WRX just isn't fast enough. Now everyone around here has a WRX and they are modded more than mine and faster so I'm building both the WRX and MX-3 at the same time. NEED TO WIN THE LOTTO!!!

dude your wrx is SICK!!!

but i'm curious about the KMAX rear bumper on the mx.. it looks way lower than your side skirts! just looks huge to me! is that right?

wkdmx3gsr · Post by **wkdmx3gsr** » April 21st, 2005, 1:40 pm

there are no side skirts on the mx yet haven't fully decided on which ones i want or to have one modified to to fit the mx. the kmax rear bumper does make the back of the mx look wider
