Hello Jono,
I use this site to gain a lot of knowledge about the MX3's i've had in the past and the one that i still have. (That will never be sold)
Its also better to have a dedicated site where everyone knows that what they read will be referring to the MX3 and that other people can come to ask for advice when they need to.
The only trouble that i have had is that when the upgrade occurred, the site lost who i was.
I have noticed that a couple of others have had the same problem in the past.
If you are currently working on a project, we would love to see what you are doing. And remember to drop back and keep us upto date as the project goes on. (Please use only one Topic per car)
It's been a while since I last updated.. a lot of work has happened on the car.
As of yesterday, it started for the first time as a 2.5L V6 Turbo :D
A couple of things that need dealing with:
I have a major ground issue, I'm not sure why this has changed, but somehow I have a poor ground now :(
Megasquirt needs tuning, I've made a few changes to get the car running with the Wideband etc, but its rough and needs some serious time spent with it - i'm new to this side of it, so reading and watching lots of youtube haha
Something is wrong with my clutch, I think the spring has failed, and I'm a little concerned about the clearance to the downpipe.. more investigation needed here.
I think it might be missing on one or more cylinders, so I need to check the coilpack feeds and sparkplugs.
But I'm super happy that it all actually works! I can't tell you how relieved I was when it actually started...
Now time to do more megasquirt research :)

Hey guys,
I've noticed a few newer members are having trouble attaching pictures to posts.
Posts read better if the pictures are integral to the post, instead of being links to pictures elsewhere.
There are two ways to post pictures:
1) Using the 'Picture' icon
When making a post:
Click on the picture icon, the following will be placed into the text box:
Enter your picture url where it says image url
Replace alt text with some text if you like, but this is optional, normally leaving this blank is fine.
2) Manually using markup code without the 'Picture' icon
Use this code:
![]()
Example:
Will display as:
I hope that helps. Let me know if you are still having trouble.

I thought I'd revive this thread.....
I'm presently swapping out the 4 stud hubs for 5 stud and I'm going to have a play with getting some audi s3 320mm discs and rx8 calipers to fit the front of the mx3. I'll post some pics up here when I get the calipers.
People have tried the swap on the obd2 loom and have run into all sorts of problems. You're best of swapping the loom completely if you have the skills to do so.
