Hi I originally had the 1.6 auto until a lady rearended me whilst coming over Wroxham bridge ,she was too busy looking at the boats.it was nice car but a write off but wetted my appetite for the 1.8 v6 I came by this one by chance on eBay it was wrongly advertised and at a very low buy it now price..so I bought it , Afterwards the seller realised he had made a mistake and wanted to buy it back ,too late the deal was done What he didn't realise was it's a special addition all leather upholstery and the extras. I want hang on to it for as long I can but being retired and age creeping up ,I will be sorry to see it go Regards Mushman

Hi David I have a 1.6 auto 1994 with 69000 miles on the clock. It went through an MOT last week with no advisories. It is always available to buy if someone offers the right price which I think is around £2.5k currently. I only have it to take to shows these days so I am happy to let it go to someone who wants that specific model.

Great to have a new member,I have found this site of enormous help in the past ,as I hope it will be for you Mushman

Hi jendight Hope you have had some joy with your Brake Master Cylinder. Not sure if you have tried your local main Mazda dealer. I find if they don,t have one in stock they will order one from Europe. Good luck!

Hi. If you are ever going past Royston, do pop in and show me your mx3.

@jon103a Hi Jon, did you manage to find a rear trailing arm? If so, where? Ours has cracked and struggling to find one.

@melvink13404 Sorry, can’t help. Just saying Hi!

The PDF wiring diagram also refers to it as the "IAC" valve. Inlet Air Control maybe ?

i have oil pick up, strainer and sump splash gaurd. Engine ECU. Maybe even plastic timing belt covers. Downside it's all in the Netherlands, so international shipping is needed.

Hi Chris, I am a poor relation member with a 1.6 based in Hertfordshire, and in need of a nearside headlight should you have one in the loft!!

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

Cheers Rax, sounds like the voice of experience there ! Quite a lot to watch out for eg miss-use of those box rails etc.

@rax Thanks again Rax. Another step down the road to understanding the K8 !

@daffyd Hi, if it's a V6 (K8) engine, I may need a few bits for my sportscar project....see today's thread. I'm a Swansea boy now living in England !

@rax thank you. That’s some sound advice.
