I checked mine, it is 'bent', sort of flat 's' shape slightly, but it is bent back towards me!! Is it the wrong way??. Anyway, just spent 180 on 2 CVs & 50 to...
Jeff,<br>The lower bend should be towards you, and the upper bend away. What I want to do is remove the upper bend, so the knob comes about 3 in. rearwards. I...
Yes, your probably right Ian. I can wish though! I've spent 500+ so far, only the top end to de-rattle (cam followers?) So any ideas of part ex are out the ...
Well, at least you'll get the benefit of the cash you've laid out, Jeff.<br><br>I've seen quite a bit about tappets on MX-3.com - it seems the hydraulic "lash...
Ive found a 97 R for 6999 in scotland (Dealer) Wants 4500 + my 94 L. That seems an awfull lot!! I've offered 3000 Am I in thbe right region? Anybody??...
I think your offer is spot-on; assuming average miles and equivalent condition (taking age into account). I wouldn't give more than £3500 after the ...
Thanks Ian. the R does have aircon. I'm not a fan of that though! I feel I don't need it and it screws the MPG with all that pump action using up the horses!!...
My aircon came in handy over the weekend, though. It was extremely wet and I had to keep it on to dehumidify. I think it reduced my mileage from 31mpg to 30,...
Hi,i'm Steven from Edinburgh<br><br>Got my MX3 last June, and have been looking for other UK owners to chat to (obviously i didn't try very hard!) as i'm only...
Hi & welcolm. I personally have had no truck with rear shocks but I hope someone (Ian?) may get back to you.<br>On a personal note, do you know Mark Wallace...
Hi Steven. Welcome from me too. If your rear shocks are leaking a little, but you are not experiencing any poor roadholding, they will probably be ok till the...
I'm really sorry but I'm changing car!<br>I'm getting a Toyota celica 2.0 GT! (40 more horses is significant) but mainly because I got 3500 for a very sick ...
Jeff,<br>Sorry to hear you're parting with your Maz. I considered a Celica GT before settling on the MX-3, so I can understand the attraction. Is it the turbo...
Hi & thanks. <br>Non turbo N plate 6800(-3500 for MX3) More horses, more MPG cheaper insurance but a bit 'staid' (I'm 50+ you know!).<br> Founders can change...
I've fitted my modified gear lever, and I'm delighted with it. Front to back movement is vastly reduced, left to right less so, but the effort is obviously a...
That looks neat Ian. Individuality! That Celica club is boring as is the car. The 2.0 GT Celica certainly has 'grunt' but the MX3 is a more satisfying vehicle...
Ooh! Never thought of that. I've had a go, but I'll have to do a better one when I've shaken the flu off.<br><br>The Celica I tried was a 4WD turbo belonging...
Hi all, Im a new owner of a MX-3 import, badged as a presso eunos V6.<br>I would like to know some information on bodystyling, where i can get parts in the ...
Hi Mark,<br><br>Welcome to the club! Can't help re bodystyling , except to point to MX-3.com, which has links to just about everything MX-3wise in N ...
Took my Maz for its service to my nearest Mazda dealer, which is approx 8 miles away. As I had to take it in the night before, I had a courtesy car. I couldn't...
Hi Mark, Welcome to the Group. We haven't been very active lately. Maybe you can get us going again. Feel free to post queries, views or anything to stir...
What a quiet time you ARE having. Not as quiet as that damn Celica club though! I am actually sorry I changed. Nowt but bother this new motor. MX3s for ever!...
Hm, sorry Jeff, don't think so. I'm really chuffed with the Maz, now that I fixed the gearshift and loud pedal. And I can walk all around it in the garage -...
A few days ago, with the door open, I happened to look in the gap below the "doorpost", behind the front wheel well. If this sounds mysterious, look in the...
... Well done!! you sorted that. I don't think much of the new Yahoo format we are forced to accept!! It was much easier before. Never mind Yahoo rules. KO. ...
Hi all, just for your info, theres a group buy on the original sill sideskirt kits for the MX-3 on the www.mx-3.com bulletin board, priced at $150.00 the...
