Hi Les,
I'm happy to continue to fund the site however given the really low number of posts it doesn't really add up, what we really need is the facebook guys to start posting here too.

Hi all,
I've just joined as I have a project on the go, and I'm pretty sure I've found the right place to settle :)
I have a 1990 Mazda 323F GT (ok, so I have two, but hey) and I've picked up an MX-3 engine and gearbox. Same bhp, but a much nicer noise methinks, gotta love the little V6!
It's not quite a drop-in job, so my next post will probably be a (possibly dumb) question...
cheers,
Marc
Hey guys,
Unfortunately my beloved little Mazda has had problems and I want to get shot of her, now that I have my new GT86 (sorry mx3!). She's in fine working order EXCEPT a leaking water pump, which the Garage tells me is gonna need head gasket work to fix etc. It's looking like around £600 worth of work, which I can't afford at the moment. She overheats within about 10 - 20 mins of driving around.
She's in nice condition otherwise, bit rough around the edges here and there (some rust in wheel arches, minor scuffs and scratches here and there), but looks nice in black, with black wolfrace silver rim alloys.
I'd be willing to hear offers, and to pass her on to a new loving owner for minimal pounds. Thinking circa £200.
Just don't want to scrap her...
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)
@les My mate Stuart (from Horbury-Wakefield) did all the paintwork & wheels.
He paints lots of classics. Doing a VW splitty full rebuild (bodywise) at moment for a client.
Here's all the hard work of how to MSPNP your AZ-3 :)
Someone requested this years ago and I never had the time until now, sorry! Better late than never.
As usual do so at your own risk. It works for me.

For the Triggerwheel settings use the 4G63 unless you've converted to mx5 CAS.
Hi, mine was stuck when i bought my mx3,
i used wd40 let it soak for while then kept trying spin/rotate it till it freed up, then it would retract fine once it broke free.
I did by hand as i think tools would easliy have snapped it,
I have one spare which works but has crack in the plastic that screws to the roof if interested £20?
I'd give the engine flush a try first and see if it helps, with the v6 it's possible to take off the Cam covers, remove the cams and take out the HLA's then service them, but it's a fair bit of work.
When I rebuilt my engine last year, I stripped the HLA's down, there were mixed reviews about whether this is a good idea or not, but it wasn't all that hard if your careful, they key is to make sure you soak and pump them with oil before putting them back.
The reason they get sticky is old oil gums up inside them, then they stop compressing and pumping the oil through themselves, regular oil changes can reduce the problem.

Hello,
i have a 94 mazda mx-3 v6 and i have been trying to find a wiring diagram for installing heated seats.
I have the connectors in place but i do not know what each pin does so i am unable to connect any heated seats to them.
I have spoken with Mazda and all they say is that my model does not have heated seats of which i already know this.
They are not willing to help me with this and i don't have enough time to take the car apart to trace where all the wiring goes.
Is there anyone that is able to help me with this?
