This list could go on and on if you think about it...interior stuff from the mx-3, carpet, consoles, seats, floor mats.

Outside stuff: 93+ egt skirts (only need 5 mins of trimming and slap em on(, 89-91 probe/mx6 front lip (same 5 mins).

Engine compatibility: F2T injectors, knock sensor, oil/coolant lines. B6T oil/coolant lines. Subaru VF turbo parts, 95+BP upper intake manifold, 94+EGT tubular exhaust manifold, 99+ miata cams/lifters/springs, optical distributor, KIA g-series tranny + axles (for MSP LSD swap), rx-7 injectors, dms injectors (box required unless GTR ecu), BP automatic radiator (2 row).

i think im over tired haha.

good list tho jack

Probably more expensive than the other options but early FD3S alternators fit as well with a little work. On my car we had to make a little spacer collar out of conduit to push the stock pulley out away from the body of the alternator. Should be a 90 amp unit. We used a Honda D series head bolt as the alternator bolt and the upper has to be replaced with a longer nut and bolt because the FD doesn't have the captive nut like the stocker since it has an adjustment bar bolted through it normally.

Found this while looking for endlink info;

Thought it was funny that the MX-3 guys might have looked at the pro TTLs as an upgrade, thread creator even says they are the same length?

[mazdaboy1974]

I am wondering is it just the MX-3 v6 rack or can the 4 cyl MX-3 rack the same?? and is it the same with the LCA's

[Mazda_Powered]

No one's 100% sure if they're the same length for V6 & 4. Only one way to check is to measure them at the yard. I would imagine since they do both use a droplink setup they would be. Remeber, mazda is lazy. Look at all the interchangability

mazda's laziness sure works well for us though

I was wondering B/c i have a 4 cyl MX-3 and it has the front swaybar and if its the same as the V6 model well i need to snag what i can before i have it hauled off.

[FE3-323]

whoa whoa!!!! mx3 V6 & 4 cylinder models have the same front LCA's

[mazdaboy1974]

woot!!!!

I am wondering is it just the MX-3 v6 rack or can the 4 cyl MX-3 rack the same?? and is it the same with the LCA's

For the rack it is v6 only. 92 FSM

95 FSM

Odd, notice the gear ratio has changed from infinte to 15. In the 92 Protege FSM the gear is listed as infinte as well. I'll check the 94 Protege FSM later tonight. Also notice the MX-3 has a much higher power steering fluid capacity.

I'm used to seeing the 95 gear ratio, it means 15:1. What the heck is infinite gear ratio?

I am wondering about the TTLs as well. I got the front LCAs off a GS, but the GS got pulled from the yard. There are two low end MX-3s I could try getting the TTLs from.

[mazdaboy1974]

Danm! i was hoping both were the same.

[FE3-323]

now to figure out if the rear TTL's are the same v6-4cylinder mx3's

[therieldeal]

i cant believe this hasnt been figured out yet LOL

my friend is buying a GS to do the KLZE swap on his 323, so if anyone needs measurements let me know.
