I found this link on the Probe UKOC as it was another car I was contemplating buying.

I'll make sure I have cash spare just incase a new dizzy cap and sensors are required.
Plus…I'll check the diags box/ignition light for any error codes. :)

got mine over 2 years ago now. its 93 and had 110000 ish on clock when got it. previous owner was hard as hell on car.

since then i done normal repairs for safety such as

stablizer links cv joints (dont get of ebay)
back box and middle year after
and bottom ball joint,

only big this i had done was a new clutch (that i finished off after 2 months getting car) and head gasket…

parts are very cheep i find around here back box and middle on mine was 80. mates 1.4 2002 civic. cost hime 130. so all in all a good investment.

PS bloke who now does my car used to be top dog in local mazda. and says these are made to last. and are well advanced for their time

GO AND GET ONE NOW!!!

the reason why the pre 95 modeols are more expensive is because they are more sought after for people for modding. i.e kl swaps bp swaps etc the fact is because after 95 obd II was introduced into the ecu programming thus making the engine transplants a pain in the ARSE!!! beleive me i had the 1.6 b6 motor mx-3 1995 :( and the only engine i could put into it was the bp protege from the us car year 95-98 which cost like 900dollars for the engine then and other 300-400 uk pound to ship to the uk. just to work with mx-3 wiring harness. my klze engine cost me 600 pound altogether just cus i bought the 1992 v6 mx-3 its all about wot ecu system the car has and if the owner knows about it or not.

If you want you could PM me your details and any pics….or I can PM you my email address etc.
Sounds like it has all the right faculties.
Is yours red?
Is it modified?
What year?

I don't want to modify the engine...infact...this will be a future classic to me so I'll keep it as standard as possible. Maybe a K&N panel filter and if need be a sensible stainless exhaust but thats about all. :)

I got my Eunos JDM Import for a bargain £550, with 72k on the clock, although the clock is in km, don't think the guy who sold me it knew what he had, no mechanical faults only had usual wear and tear brakes, discs etc, flew through last MOT only needed a side light, still going strong with 164km now on the clock :D :D :D

Had fun driving my MX-3 but gona go for a FTO at the end of the year, hope it's as much fun as my Mx has given me 8) 8)

Well my black car is late 95… it's OBDI now with klze. About the OBDII thing, there's a couple of guys have sucessfully swapped ZEs into OBDII cars, the tough bit will be tuning - probably need Megasquirt or some piggyback to stop it running rich.

FTOs are definately nice boats, but for me mx3 klze anyday. Apart from being faster, cheaper and more reliable, the mx3 boot takes a whole guitar halfstack :)

But enjoy the FTO :lol:

I just got a 1992 JDM with the V6, around 90,000 miles which aint too bad. Paid £580 for it a week ago and think i got a baragin. Bad points, sunroof is a bit persistant and needs a new rear offside caliper to get through the mot but other than that sweet as a nut. definatly a great car to drive. I enjoy it more than any car Ive driven, and thats a few. plus its faster than the new 1.8 TDCi zetec focus as I had one for a hire car. :wink:

All different years and prices.
I have been scouring the 'Projects' forum and saw how little some people paid for such nice cars too. :shock:
