Ok so say I want to get a BP do I have to do an axle swap, and rotor swap and all of that stuff, or can I just keep all of my stuff from my current mx3. Can I get a basic list of everything that I need to get from the car? Cause this guy said I could have w/e I want for $400.

If you are keeping the stock mx tranny you wont need to swap anything from the drive train. Just will need the 1.6L flywheel and the 1.6 clutch kit.
List from car
-engine complete.
- MAF mass air flow sensor
- complete wire harness with ecu
- buy a 255 walbro fuel pump
If the car that the engine comes from has a manual tranny take that too with axles and do the complete swap.
Im sure if I left something out some will post up.

^+1... but make sure if u take the tranny, that you grab the upper tranny mount with it, as for u need that for the G-series trans to fit into your car, it is a much stronger tranny then the stock f-series s---...but ya.. i think he got it all.

To make it simple. Go pick up an Escort GT and pretty much swap everything from under rhe hood.

Or Protege LX, Escort LX-E, or Tracer LTS.

yes, but you willmost likely find an escort GT first, alot more common.
Another point. Why would you take a mazda and take its guts out and send it to a wreckers once you've taken all the parts off it. Do that to the Escort and put that Ford where it belongs.lol
