put a smile on my face

i raced my friend in his mx-3 and ate him for lunch. i know its nothing to brag about but it was fun. next my friend with a beat 240

haha, I hate mx-3's.
they are the most gutless cars ever made (besides echo).:D

god i saw some stupid tart with an MX3 it had a Supra wing WTF

Hey...don't make fun...I used to own one. That's why I drive a Honda now:D.

Seriously, I've seen and read about MX-3's transplanted with the Ford Probe/Mazda MX-6 V6's. There's also some that get the JDM V6's that come with 200HP stock. There was one guy that I read about 4 years ago that had the JDM V6 turbocharged. He told SportCompactCar this small story about killing a Viper...

theres a bad mx3 ive seen in some magazines with a 20b transplant...:devil:

i guess the viper ran out of gas or stayed in 2 gear

man.....I remembered supras were ugly, but that picture really refreshed my memory

the 1.6 litre 4 cyl MX-3 has a whopping 88 hp!!! you should be proud of your civic! I had a 4 cyl Mx-3 and wanted to do the v-6 mx-6 / probe gt transplant but i ended up getting into an accident and getting rid of it. the MX-3 is a very nimble car and if it had more power it probably would have sold much better then it did. I'm pretty sure the 1.8 litre v-6 only had 120 hp.

It's even better than I thought. He had the FOUR-BANGER. Imagine if he had the V6?

I used to have an 89 Mazda Mx-6 GT Turbo with custom turbo upgrade, front-mount IC, i/h/e, among other things. Had it turned up to 10 lbs on stock internals. Ran a 13.8 @1XX. Pretty damn quick car. Don't really know too much about the Mx-3, though. I can say that they're ugly, lol.

10 pounds of boost on stock internals isnt anything to shake a stick at boy :apoke:

Go get yourself a mid to late 80's dodge turbo... those biatches can take 14-20 pounds of boost with proper care and basically stock internals short of a good management system! :devil:

I had/have a 1988 plymouth sundance RS Turbo.,,,that bitch has 136hp, and can get second gear rubber...unlike my dx with i/h/e....how can you tune the turbo?

Heyyyy....I thought 10 lbs was pretty good...Anyways, yeap, I had a header on the CUSTOM turbo. It was actually a type-o b/c I'm used to typing i/h/e...But in actuality, it could have applied to the car. What I actually did was steal a X-shorty header originally made for a chevy. Had it coated, flipped it upside-down, and had a short elbow of piping welded onto the end of the flange, then bolted the turbo to the end of that. Only reason I ever did this was because of extreme rusting on the original turbo manifold when I got the car. Since I was upgrading the turbo anyways, decided to go with a new manifold as well. Decided to try this out just to see if it could be done. Worked ok, I supposed, no leaks thanks to some great fabrication by my exhaust shop.

mx3 with rotor engines are becoming common in australia
just recently, mazda released mx3s with factory turbos (i think for the aussie market only) which are faster then s2000's

My mostly stock '91 CRX SI spins tires in second and barks them in third at the track, it's only 108hp + an intake.
