woohoo... first post

i'm the ex-owner of a 92 mx-3 I4 5-speed.. i really liked it even though it had no balls

wow, you had a honda and a mazda, and I have a honda and a mazda :)

i felt the same way about my 94 mx-3 until i did a motor swap. now it's a totally different car.:cool:

Tell me about this motor swap. I"m a honda man myself and I have been bitten by the mazda bug because of my girlfriends protege. How can you give the protege or mx3 some balls?

i swapped out my motor for a j-spec 1.8t out of the japenese mazda 323 gtx. what year protege do you have?

What's up people, just checkin things out and sayin hello.

sup sup. so, how many peeps are coming down to the NOPI drags?

I won't be to the one in FL, my car is in the shop till NOPI Drags at Reynolds in Ga. I will be down there in Orlando though for HIN

yeah, that's the one i meant. i'm going up to Ga for that. i posted on moca but not too many people responded. just wondering if you were bring more peeps with ya. see ya there. if you have a cell, we should trade numbers so we can meet up once we're there.

That sounds like a plan. Hit me up @ MX_3_18s@yahoo.com and we can go from there.

One of my gay friends says his mx-3 can get up to 160 and could beat my Civic b16a with GSR head...so could i know what the mx-3 runs 1/4 miles? thanks

does he have a 4cyl or v6? either way, if he doesn't have a motor swap or a serious power adder(turbo, s/c, nitrous) you'll eat him up. the 92-93 SOHC 4cyl had 88hp, the 94+ 4cyl had 115 hp, and all v6's had 132 hp

I believe he has the 115 hp one...and all he has is a piece of shiz intake and a muffler. I think that car runs 17.68.

then you got it in the bag. tell him he needs to do a motor swap with the j-spec 1.8 bpt from the japanese 323 gtx.

where can i get a j spec 1.8 bpt, and how much, or would it be better to turbo charge or add nos to my 94, its only got like 70k orig. mi., all i did was add cold air custom intake, and i can scratch 2nd pretty good. thats what i love about it being so light. which do u thinks better the swap or the other..........btw its a 94 1.6 liter dohc

I'd say do the swap, cuz then you still have somewhere to go. If you do the turbo/NOS, and still wanted to go faster, you can't do much else. So do the swap first, then turbo the new engine.
