MX-3.com

Well, the car is pretty much in a state I would call "finished". I added a few details since it got painted and re powdercoated all the engine bay pieces to fit the car better. I also powdercoated a lot of stuff that wasn't done before as well as replaced most all of the bolts up top with stainless steel button head cap screws or socket head cap screws. Other than a new steering wheel, the interior is still the same clean setup I've posted in the past so I haven't grabbed new pics of that yet.

These are pics from the national Mazda/Probe meet I plan in Florida. We had 12 boosted KLs parked in a row this year on top of all the other attendees.

Lemme know what ya think.

what's going on with the spark setup? are those external coil packs? looks awesome. engine bay as a whole looks great. nice ride

Ya, coil packs. Megasquirt controls them.

TOO good! You've really raised the bar this time.

Speaking of megasquirt...?

nice job, clean/tidy engine, most "tuners" have a wiring mess under their hood, yours is clean.

Full details with shiny diagrams. Nao

Coil packs are a pretty easy install, but you need MS to run them. All the info can be found on probetalk in the engine electronics section. The engine bay wiring and crank pulley modification is very straightforward. It's a little more complicated if you have AC and want to keep it, but nothing someone with moderate electrical ability can't tackle.

I really like the understated nature of your car. Elegant.

Nice spoiler.

I <3 this car.

My next project will be done to this detail, I can only hope.

how much lower will the d2's go before preloading the springs?

It can go a lot lower, the beefy tires I have on there are why it's higher. To fit the 245s on there I already have to preload the springs to make room for the tire width. On a less extreme tire for an mx3 you can slam it to the ground.

Fack I posted before but it didn't stick.. Anyways, andy the car looks great! Really impressed with your workmanship. I'm glad you went for a mx3 instead of a probe like your peers.

B E A utifull.

Nice work man.

i asked a question and forgot to complement lol. Seeing mx3s built so right motivates me not to give up on mine. super clean.

Looks nice !! Respect for all the work !

Couple questions
Where did you leave the fusebox?
Where did you get the d2's are they custom?
