  • Welcome, keep an eye out for Lori too, he has a tendency to wait until you're asleep and lick your toes clean and as for me, wellll, I'm not actually real.



  • mattuhh & nightstalker.

    Slurp :)





  • I'll start a thread with pics etc as soon as poss.
    Erm… ill travel 50 miles 4 a meet as long as its a decent 1.
    Where's japfest held at?
    Lol whos watchin me in my sleep? Hope its not my old scout master.



  • Japfest is at castle combe race course in chippenham just off the M4, it is the biggest meet we ever have together and with that there will be 15,000 other people there and pretty much every other jap club along with racing all day and driftworks there.

    its £15 per ticket + a BF of £4.50 per application for all the recorded posting etc that goes with it.



  • Ohh and dont forget Japfest 2 at rockingham



  • Sounds sweet.
    Thanx 4 letting me know.



  • Hope you can come along, you will meet loads of us and if you book through us you can bring your car into the ground and onto the stand for free so the more the merrier.

    get some pics up soon hope to see more of your car on here



  • wicked, ill c wot i can do :)
    its got its MOT in a couple of weeks so hopefully itll get through that ok then i can sort out the body work.
    can any1 suggest a good cpu performance chip to use? n how hard r they to fit? n do they really make much difference????



  • You cant chip an MX-3 unfortunately, its the old fashion way for all of us, but ask a few questions and we can point you towards getting the best from your car and then take the plunge like I just have and buy a KLZE engine for it :D



  • glad i asked, ive seen websites sellin chips for the ecu (i know i said cpu, but i meant ecu prob same thing?) but there prob blags if u say they dont make em?
    that'll cost too much doin an engine swap especially wen u the cars only worth £500.
    ive put an induction kit on it but is there anythin else i can do to increase bhp? nothin expensive or to tricky to do…..

    My car cost £90 that I bought as a non runner from a scrappy in bognor so yours for £500 is quite expensive lol.
    I suppose basic things to help BHP and running is plug leads + decent plugs, earthing kit, decent oil, decat the exhaust, stainless rear box, stainless headers and decent set of matching tyres all round help with the fuel



  • I paid £470 for it last august in full working order. R reg '97, 77k on the clock, 8 months MOT, 4 months tax.
    All the electrics work except the central locking.
    It came with loads of service history n had recently had work done to it.
    Did I get ripped off?
    I'm sure it cost u a few quid to get it sorted?



  • around £500 is a normal going rate for an mx3 so i dont think you got ripped off i payed 900 for my v6 with no tax but you can find some real bargins like djmaco's for £90



  • Mine is a v6. Had a feeling I paid an ok price.
    It had an aftermarket back box on n an aftermarket steering wheel.
    Just put 4 new matching tyres on.
    Might get some spark leads.
    R the k & n oil filters any good?



  • personly there is no differance just the cost you can get basic oil filter from ebay for about £3 all you pay for with the k&n oil filters is the name ive just got one for mine from my local parts dealer for £3.10 differant types of oil makes the differance



  • I don't need 1 like, I seen em on eBay n thought id ask. Seen some spark leads for £63.50 is that a good price? Wud they make a difference?
