White V6\. Project OEM+….................. NOW SOLD>>



  • Yes! At last ive made some subtle changes and my interest in the car has been renewed!

    Firstly i gave it a going over with some Auto Glym Paint Restorer and Super Resin Polish. This made the world of difference but i think it will take a few more similar sessions to make the paint gleam as id like it to.

    Then i was in the mood for change so i whipped off the horrible black chunk of plastic that the numberplate was mounted on:

    I jus screwed the old plate back on till i get my shiny new miniature ones that sit within the lines of the bumper more.

    Then i decided to bite the bullet and use all my remaining weeks wages getting some 40mm G Max springs fitted.

    I also fitted a cheap eBay air filter for a temporary increase in noise while i wait for the Probe Store ones to come in!

    Heres the MEX as it stands:

    Next up is my front end restoration:

    1: Remove the bumper and paint it

    2: While the bumper is of i will remove the fogs, re-paint the metal parts and tint the lenses yellow

    3: Replace the corner lights with new ones if i can find them again on eBay USA!



  • Those gmax seems to lower pretty good! What rim size and tyre profile do you have?



  • the wheels in the pic above your post are std v6 5 spokes on 205/55/15 rubber..



  • Ye i am quite pleased with the stance on the G Max springs. The ride is pretty nice too.

    Id like it to be slammo but that would require coilovers and i dont want to shell that much money out!



  • How much did the springs set you back? I'm tempted to get mine lowered but can't really afford much atm.
    Car looks really nice btw!



  • Cheers man! :D :D :D :D :D

    They only cost £40 delivered!

    They were on eBay with a poor description and a tatty box but the springs themselves are brand new. Result!

    As i saved the cash on the springs i got them fitted by a garage so in total it cost me about £165.

    The difference is amazing! I was mainly after the aesthetic improvement but it handles like a dream now too! Well worth it



  • The MEX is now for sale.

    Im far too tempted by my girlfriends offer to lend me the cash for a CRX Del Sol VTi.

    Im not really sure what to ask for it yet, i need to do some market research today then ill put a for sale post up.

    Mx-3's are so much better, bad move….. :(



  • Each to their own i guess.

    The Mex is an amazing little car but now ive got that bit more cash im eager to climb a rung or 2 up the car ladder!

    Give it about 4 or 5 months and the Del Sol will probs be sold in preference to an EG Civic SIr…... Now that's a car that runs rings round both the mex and the Sol!



  • But would it run rings around a klze mx3?

    and your right each to their own didnt mean to diss :shock:



  • im am very intrested in the white mx3, can you give me a bit more information please and check if its obd1.. three yellow connecters on the ecu behind the center console.. i can pay on the 19th if thats ok

    hmmmm, not sure really. They do handle well and i can imagine with the KLZE they are absolute machines!

    ill put proper details up tonight or tomorrow on price ect ect



  • Del Sol's are nice enough, I was considering one but insurance was crazy money, for a drivers car an earlier box shape CRX is better. All the old CRX owners I know/knew look down on the Del Sols as being too heavy, too much body flex etc. I will admit though the targa/transtop thing is cool as f**k! 8)

    Good luck with it if you do get one though, should be nice on the odd day of good weather! :)



  • @22e35ebfca=dubstep:

    EG Civic SIr…... Now that's a car that runs rings round both the mex and the Sol!

    I agree an siR will run rings around a del sol… but a klze mx-3 - no way! it runs rings around THEM! :twisted:



  • Yeh i do think they look nice too, sad to see a member leave though.

    Ye the targa top is selling it to me quite a bit to be fair! Also the B16a engine is an amazing engine…. Really good specs, fast and economical.

    Not sure about the insurance yet, i had the civic VTi when i was 21 so now at nearly 25 im hoping the CRX wont be too much.



  • To be fair i can honestly say that as a 1.8 the mx just doesnt cut the meat!, it should have atleast had the 323 v6 engine from factory. If i didnt do the ze conversion i can sadly say the mx would have gone by now. A horrible thing to say i know!!.
    Still 6 years later im still loving it :D

    Garfy… take yourself outback and give yourself a good slapping...



  • Ha ha, ill stand in the corner and think about what i just said.



  • Sorry to say I'll stick with Garfy on this one, KLZE MX3 is just a different animal, please don't slap me!
