New to Mx-3 -- need some veteran advise

Post by DurTTy »

Hi,

I have been an owner of 2 mx6s, both KLZE, CAMS FIDANZA FLYWHEEL LW CRANK, BORLA HEADERS, 2.5 BORLA Straight Etc...

now i have refined my tastes and drive an Audi TT Quattro with 300 HP AWHP T3/T4 stage 3 turbo etc.

ANYWAYS - so i always wanted a 3, so i went ahead and bought one as my winter/long trip/camping car. got it for 500 $

clutch is slippin, but it is only bad if i shift at high rpms, the stupid rear defrost button is not working but i can hear it clicking so im pretty sure the relay is fried, not sure since im not fimiliar with these cars. its a SOHC 1.6 1993 no options other than doors open, car starts and brakes work .. oh yea power mirrors.

Basically, i need to find out what are some common problems i should be looking for and what should i expect. i found a clutch and is on delivery for 60$ shipped. thank god for weak american $$ (sorry fellas, but the war is costing you guys a lot)

i am looking to do the job myself, can some1 point me to a write up for those who have done this or at least in the right direction, im scowering the online manual, in the meantime.

I don't know much about the 4cyl mx-3's but if you look around in the 4cylinder section on this site and use the search function you should be able to find all the info you need.

There is a wealth of information on this site! good luck!
