    Yeah Lori both my MX have cruise control… seems like one of the few options the rest of the world didn't get 8) color is flat black primer (aka Moonwax® )

    lol @ fox, I actually race my car and I need it functional. If I didn't race and I was going to shows all the time I suppose i would have a stance such as yours though :mrgreen:

    Back to back updates… That's what happens when Mooneggs takes a 4 day weekend :mrgreen:

    So today I installed a new muffler and wraparound rear mudguards.

    Teaser :rofl:

    Oh wow, those mudguards work MUCH better than I would have thought! I think the Moonwax helps with it (think it'd look a bit silly with my colour scheme). Looks awesome man, fair play for taking the risk! Paid off!

    Amen, I do love em, how much were they?

    Yes it definately was an incredibly expensive risk… let's just say these were one of the most expensive parts I've acquired in the international project... :x When I compare the price to other things I've bought well, whatever, what's done is done... With them being fiberglass they are also the most fragile :( No wonder I've never seen them on another mx-3 in real life!

    Anyways I definately think they are a nice add, even with the space in the middle... 8)

    I recently went for an 11 hour drive round trip to a big mazda meet, josh95mx was the only other mx-3 that came. On the way home he got some pics of me in the DD while I was driving. More cool pics after the jump 8)

    I've also finally moved the Race Car into a barn to hopefully get it running again:
