No radio???? haha

lol yea. i gotta lot of work on my hands but i think i can make it look alot better than wat it is. exterior isnt that bad but the interior is gonna need a new dash and such. but i think i can get it done in time.

[bomdoutscort]

Exterior is gonna need some major cleaning up. Taking it back to stock would look 100X better.

[Dwhita26]

Yea, the main thing I'm first worried about is Gettin the oem bumpers, hood, and fenders, and start workin on new interior to before I start worrying about rebuildin an engine. Still dk what I wanna do wit paint, thinkin maybe a flat black for now till I finish everythin up and save a little money.

[dailordasailor]

priceless roof scoop... id rip all the kit off immediatley and drive without bumpers and sideskirts while i tried to find oem parts...

[Dwhita26]

Lol yea I dnt like the kit but I'll proly jus take the front bumper off for now. And I'm kinda nervous bout goin to get it and drivin it back as idk what kinda shape it's in and it's an 4 hour drive one way.

I hope its put together with better craftsmanship than what I see done with those gauges.

The swao doesnt look bad, but dam, he could have cleaned the car up before sending pics.

[Dwhita26]

Haha yea I know what you mean and hopefully he cleans it up when I go to pick it up. And he said the car was already like that when he bought it. So I'm jus kinda nervous bout driving it home 4 hours. =/

im looking at some motor mounts on AWR and i just wanna make sure that these will work with the BP in the mx3.

Front and rear mount

Trans mount

or does anyone know the link to where i can get all the mounts at one time or do i have to buy them all seperate?

Those are the right ones.

[The Pile]

Good luck with that trans mount.. I had a hell of a time with AWR over that one.. your going to have to mic out the spindle for that mount and send him the dimensions or you will end up with 3 wrong inserts before you get the right one

[Dwhita26]

Lol alright. But where's the 4th mount or do they make one? That's only 3?

[The Pile]

He doesnt make a passenger side mount... but I know that someone else did for the BP... Check out crazypunkerguy's old 93egt build log and he had one... i cant remember the name tho.. rootworks? idk somethin like that


EDIT: Just looked it up its a Roodwerks... idk if they are still available..

[Dwhita26]

ight, ill be sure to check that out.

and i just talked to they guy today, i got him down to where i can buy the car for $1400 which i think is a steal if its the real GTX swap and runs good. but i should find out weds when im suppose to go get it if everything goes down good.
