The 1.8 has the nice sound but not much to bak it up with. :shock:
-
Without the 1.8 the 2.5 conversion would be alot harder to do! I would rather have a 1.8 for daily driver, but regardless of engine power you have got to love the MX3 for its looks and handling :D
-
i fear ur mistake might have been trying to style the 1.8 insteado f dropping the 2.5 in for the performance ur after. personally ive only ever owned mx-3's i started with a 1.6 (YIKES!!!!) but despite getting my ass handed to me by saxos corsas and the like. i decided to go v6 mx-3. honestly ive never driven a 1.8 v6 so iwouldnt know the difference heh. but lets put it this way. the klze is soo good i bought 2 heh

Agreed, I will never drive a 1.8 again… once you go KLZE you don't go back :) that's why I have one for my daily driver and race car 8)
-
I can imagine the KLZE is a great car but If i was in the market for an engine conversion it would be a B18C4 from a Teg Type R into either the Del Sol or an EG Civic.
A friend fo mine has an EK Civic with this setup plus Hondata ECU, Coilovers, NSX brakes ect ect and it defines the word 'machine' :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
yeah I'm sure it's nice, but I'd like to see how it goes head to head with a turbo klze…
I'm just not a fan of "common" cars even if they do have a nice setup :roll:

Ooooof, the stakes keep getting higher!
buying an mx, fitting a klze then boosting it wouldn't give you a great deal more performance than a B18 Civ to be honest and at a much higher price
-
**Pfft. You don't take the best part out of a Civic and keep the Civic around it.
Nah. You take the K20 and gearbox out and put it into something actually worthwhile…
Yeah, that'll do it.**

TBH, At that sort of power I'd be much prefering something RWD rather than an MX or any fwd Honda.
-
Ah the classic argument!
It all comes back to personal preference.
civic:
buy custom engine mounts, wiring loom, ecu
cheap parts a plenty
b18 250-300bhp on stock internals
b18 approx 1k though often with LSD gbox
lighter than mx3
granny wagonmazda:
just swap in a klze/klde, chip ecu ($40?)
turbo kits are dirt cheap
300bhp+ on stock internals +more torque
klde on ebay £185 with make offer
not common as muck
hairdressers cars sister?Whatever has the most money in it will win really! Though the mazda has an instant advantage with the plug 'n' play 2.5.
And Ryan has a good point there. AWD conversion mx3 :) Think theres 4 of them now with 323 GTR/x or AWD protege running gear.
-
i got to stick with the mx3
-
Im a big fan of the jdm imported white civic type Rs ( not new shape but previous shape ), but a 02 reg would be in region of 7K!!!!. Shockingly expensive.
this one is amazing too!!
im not one sided think both type R and mx3s are both amazing machines.
-
I moved from Civic to MX3. I loved my Civic to bits but now the Civic game has been overplayed far too much and the guys who own them are way too bitchy, I used to go onto Civic sites and you could guarantee the same three things said when someone new came along: "drop it on it's arse", "Rotas" and "B16". Car modifying never got so boring!
I love the MX3 because, if I'm honest, it has some styling taken from the Civic (and Del Sol), the MR2 and also a Celica (all cars I love to bits and wanted to buy before the 3!). I love it when people ask me what my car is with them expecting to have heard of it especially when you utter "MX".
I'm rambling now, but the newer Civic's (the EP3 and the FN2) have lost it, the EP is a people carrier and the FN is just obscene, they should have quit with the EK.

Thats class. 8) Wonder how much a conversion like that would cost?
