Re: i need some help to my mx-3 dohc 4 cly

i cant say i really have the problem with the 4 cyl but u had a bud who bought a older civic and said that i couldnt make my old mx3 be able to beat it... prooved him wrong in fact we wont race me at all (scared)... had a smoke issue just like u stated.. so i rebuild the top end( i have a v6 1.8l dohc 24valve) got some after market cams, and valves.... might i say it runs amazing... working on the bottom end on it... plus i threw on a better clutch that the old owner had... lil things make a big difference... find a ford probe... identical engine swap! so easy a cave man could do it lol

Sometimes it's not so much what you drive but how you drive it. I can beat any of my friends' tuners in my Honda, mx3, and yes, my Taurus...

*I am also constantly repairing their transmissions and and currently rebuilding the mx3's engine- I was beating a civic until the whole head blew.
