I have just recently joined mx-3.com due to me buying an mx-3 today (05/12/2008) and I have a little querey. The one Im getting has a black front strut-brace fitted. I cant find any brand logos on it and was just wondering if this comes as standard or has been added on.

Many thanks to who gives info and happy motoring!

There are no factory strut braces for the MX-3. Just FYI.

Sorry, I meant to say that the MX-3 did not come with a factory strut bar.

Isn't there also a MazdaSpeed strut bar out there for the MX-3?

Mark (of course) has one, too. I thought they were a factory option (The solid ones).
Won't fit over a ZE, though :(

It seems that all GS over have them. I've yet to see a v6 without it over here. And true, fatass ZE intake :( Might try my straightneck out of curiousity with it.
