whats up everyone, well I've had my 1993 mx3 rs for about 2 years & i'm finally going to do some modding. I hardly drive the car and it's been sitting for a year or so. it's running great but has a wrecked front bumper due to a bad spring that broke on the previous owner.

so far I've had the tranny rebuilt & new clutch installed
also new exhaust from the cat on back. ( nothing special stock replacement )
next week i'm installing lowering springs & kyb struts I got off ebay
I also ordered the jdm drift body kit I seen others with the mod but only seen the black projectors & I thought
the chrome lights looked different
also ordered the altezza taillights.
any suggestions on performance? I have the stock sohc 4 banger ( very fast for a small motor )
looking @ adding 18 inch rims. any advice on the bodykit installation would help alot.


I love this little car!!!!
i'll post pics as I go http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3013445" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

For Performance, your either looking at a Turbo or BP swap, Not much you can do with the 1.6 sohc. You could do some smaller things like a cai, rx-7 vaf, upgrade your throttle body and maybe injectors. But your not going to get much out of it.

Car looks awsome!

On another note... I think all the civic projector swaps look pretty much the same. They looked like they were forced in there, knowing they dont fit. If i were to do anything like that, it would be more like a retrofit or something. Atleast you can probally see better though, right?

well they look better and the lighting in great. and it takes a ot of work & balls to mod them in.my lights are not finished still have a little ways to go. the new bumper and hood will be modded to give the car a different look.

believe me you cant force these lights in.
