Sam's Proper MX-3 - LT Turbo project *Parting out*



  • my misses would go mental if i made all those marks on the wall and left a dirty manifold on a nice cream carpet!! :D

    looking good tho. 8)

    I would re consider engine mounts. They do make alot of difference, but then depends on how much power your looking for really.

    Ive got the v6 corksport mazdaspeed ones and think they are pukka. Tommy d how used to be on here ( mx3 been broken into parts now ) didnt replace engine mounts and tore through two sets of driveshafts and started to wear out gearbox also. Im sure the old engine mounts didnt help with the engine thrusting, having a negative effect on other components.



  • lol so would mine if i did that in the lounge, luckily its in the hallway/garage of mine,
    still brand new carpet but it was an offcut from the bedroom so it doenst matter if i fuck it up… wich i have done :D



  • flew straight through the MOT today

    woop woop :D :D :D





  • congrats fella…

    very nice looking 3 you have there too...



  • @143290cd13=youdirtyfox:

    gave the turbo a bit of clean up and checked it fitted the mani :o

    Ssssooooooo JEALOUS :P



  • hehe you wont be when you see me struggling underneath the car
    trying to fit up the intercooler and exhaust downpipe,lol

    heres the pair of supra boost hose I got down the breakers for about a fiver!

    and these are the bling alu reducer pipes i had made at work!



  • something else I've been working on is these wheel centres out of St/st.
    might have to slag em up with mazdaspeed stickers on once they have been painted :D



  • Alright Chap's….

    ... Im still here and still loving the 3 , She hooned down newquay for my stag weekend before last!! what a time,lol

    Anyways heres the wheel centre caps i was working on, fitted :D

    cheers all !



  • Those centre caps look the dogs @@@@@@@@! nice one mate!!! :D



  • cheers mate :D
    I like 'em although Im going to get them powder coated red!
    Small update, but no pics as my puter is still an expensive word procesor at the mo :(

    Have fitted the V6 sill spats and removed the mudguards, also have some
    impreza rear bumper spats coming in the post, dont know if they will fit
    it was just a punt really…. will let you all know the oucome soon :D



  • im going to be busy this weekend :D just ordered some 11mm wide white reflective rim tape…..



  • OK just a quick teaser for you all of these impreza rear bumper spats on an mx3!
    The contour is perfect, just need some more trimming and possibly plastic
    weld the end cap back on….



  • spat shortened and end cap plastic welded back on…. all you need is
    a hob and a old steak knife.. and of course a wife who dont mind you messing up Her kitchen :lol:



  • Got my 11mm reflective white wheel tape on there this morning, opinions welcome :D



  • them wheels looking hot mate. i wanna get some black ones. i missed out on a lush set of lenzo 16's on ebay. sold for £81 :o wish i had the dosh at the time. keep up the nice work



  • looks well mate



  • Just put my order in folks for some xyz coilovers :D :D



  • looks good, I do like rim tape, will look even better when your coilovers are on, slam that cars ass down low!!



  • Definetley coilovers for the big win, Famine and myself have spent all day struggling with lowering springs and the effect is not yet noticeable, coilovers will be instant and I think easier than changing springs. Just watch those blots as they are a right pain in the arse (snapped one and rounded one off) and the rears are also a pain to re-align too!
