Hi, all!
I'm back, and lazier than ever! So, I'd like help to make a thread for the very best upgrades for the MX-3.
I'm looking at it like this; I'm an oil tycoon, and for whatever reason, want the ultimate MX-3, no matter the cost... I'm a poor acrobat with few tools, and just want to tinker... or somewhere in between.
I want a comprehensive list to choose from, and upgrade as wanted. Please list what you think are the best upgrades you know of, and we can put them in categories, such as; easy to do, bang for the buck, all out power/ performance, etc..
If this has already been done in my absence, please flame me, and kill this thread.
If this works out, we'll make it it's own thread, and sticky it.
Thanks!

the only thing that comes to mind that you might not know of would be Josh's awd mx3.

I'm not satisfied with brake system on our mx3s so I'm looking for better brakes

I was very happy with the brakes, guess that's just me :shrug:

Loved the Koni suspension, but damn they're rough, so not for everyone. Perfered the stance of H&R springs, but the B+Gs, although squishier, gave the car better balance for racing.

ZE's a great motor, but needs more power compared to what's out there today. Was always hard pressed to go turbo on that car

We need a butterfly brace, similar to the design sold for Miatas... Badass and a half, that one.

An incredibly HOT chick in your passenger seat!

I think hands down for any MX V6 or I4 is a Turbocharger ;)

nobody has mentioned PROJECTORS, our 20 year old lights are crap, might as well hold a candle when you're driving.
