yes definately post pics… not many mx-3's have upgraded brakes...
-
Sorry if I have misslead you, what I am going to do with the breaks, are new rotors but the same size. Paint calliper and better pads.

Welcome to the forum, get some pics up of ya ride..
:) :)

Well that was a nice weeend, I now have a kl-de in my mx. GOD DAMMIT its so much fun :D Were some nasty bumps in the road tho, lots of stuff that had decided to rust into place :) But we got it done, now only a few thigs I have to fix tomorow, some loose suspension stuff and a new gasket for the sump pan.
And a warning. If you dont have the equiptment to heat and bend stainless headers, dont buy it of ebay. When we had bolted on one side, the other side were like 2" off.
Was hoping to get some photos posted, but for some reason I cant upload to photobucket. Does anyone know of another place to put my pictures?
-
Well I got a few pics up.
My pride and joy (needs a paint job tho:))
2.5 nice and clean
And btw, rear mounted engine in a mx3… not the best idea :roll:
-
Good job, damn that block looks clean :P
-
EPIC - I see the mx on the lift has the headlight washer nozzles… any way you could get some closer up pics of those and maybe the switch inside? :o
from my research that is an extremely rare feature on the mx-3 and if you have more photos that would be so cool!!! :shock:
-
Sure Il see if I manage to get a few pics uploaded. Tbh I hate those things, im gonna take the bumper from the donor car.
-

-

-

-

Sorry about the slow update, been working round the clock for the last six months. Pluss between the dealers and the norwegian customs I took me 2 months to get my parts from the states.
But finaly I might get some time to work on my baby. Got new callipers for the front (almost the same price as rep kit) with slotted discs from corcsport as well as Hawk pads. For the rear I got very lukcy. I had decided to drop the rear as just the callipers cost 2500nok (about 230£) But then I found a jewl on the norwegian mazda forum, discs, wheelhub (with bearings) pads and callipers from a rx7 FC all modifyed to fit the mx3 for 200£ both sides.
I also recived the B&M shortshifter and bronzoil brushings from corcsport.
Anything special I should know about the shifter job?Also decided to build a magnaflow system form the headers and all the way back. Pricy as hell, but I think it will sound awsome.
I will post some pics as soon as I get started. Cant wait :twisted:

Not sure if theese will work. I get back from work in a week, then I can get some better ones.
He basicaly just made a bracket to get the calliper "high enough" to reach over the disc.

Looks really good, keep us updated on your progress.
Should stop alot better now. 8)
