@jono Hi. I use the site mainly for info' on my K8 engine (see X2s sportscar posts). However, I've just bought some new MX3 front hubs to use as a 'proof-of-concept' suspension design. I'll probably use these on all 4 wheels as I need to keep the parts count manageable. I've just noticed that the gearbox selector has seized solid, so, will probably need some advice with this too in the near future !
We probably won't be running EGR on the competition car. However, the ECU will almost certainly require a sensor input. I imagine we could tell the ECU that the EGR valve is (permanently) "closed". Does anyone know how we could 'spoof' this - a voltage level, resistor, jumper wire etc. ? Thanks
Mine is only a 1.6 auto but still presentable and in daily/weekly use. I do about 300 miles a month in it to keep things ticking over. The sills are going to need sorting soon as is the sun affected red paint but the interior is still A1 and I love driving it!!
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)
Finally I have movement on the project 🙌.
I've got everything I need for the big brake kit and ready to be sent to mwb engineering for the brackets to be made.
The list as follows..
Front Hubs have been converted to 5 stud 323f v6 hubs, all refitted with new bearings.
VW Mk5 GTi discs with center bore increased to fit the 323f hubs.
Alfa Romeo MiTo 4 pot brembos ( can't decide what pads to run).
New HEL brake lines ordered to suit the brembos.
Once the brackets are made I need to find a set of 17" wheels that will fit over the brake's 🙄 then I can get a lot of work done this winter, as the car will be off the stands and back in the garage.
Hello,
Your welcome for the advice.
With regards to to dizzy you have 3 options:
1 Replace the dizzy.
2 Replace the coil inside the dizzy.
3 Perform a HEI mod, doing a search will give more details of this.
I myself went down the option 3 route as its a common fault that happens ox the MX3.
Also there is a possibility that you change the dizzy or coil and the same thing will happen again.
I've heard of some people changing tjere dizzy 4 times in the space of a year where as others have no trouble at all.
The choice is yours to make.
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.
Hello Everybody,
I hope someone is able to help me with the following problem;
Both Hazard Warning Flasher and both Turn Signals Indicators flashing at the same time.
Kind regards and best wishes,
