    Kulluminati777´s MX3 Rice racer!

    Hello fellow BG chassis brothers and sisters. I have been really hesitant to start a work log because im not too much of a mechanic. So this is going to be a gallery/worklog to show you guys why i have dubbed my baby as the "Unofficial" mazdaspeed mx-3.The funny thing about the mx3 is that i bought it for my wife and it is her car ( I own a 1993 MX-6) but i am always adding new stuff and trying to keep it tip top as if it was mine lmfao and i believe its a great car with tons of potential. I dont know if im the 2nd. 3rd, 4th, owner or any history on the car. After me and my wife had got engaged 2 years ago i wanted to get her a car so we looked at a few. something small yet nice was what she was looking for and me already being a mazda man i suggested the mx-5.

    She had told me it was nice but way to small for her taste. so i did my research and found about the mx-3...I NEVER even noticed or heard of these cars at all before i had looked around Mazda's repertoire. I instantly fell in love and started to search an online used car service. I found this black 1993 GS about 200kms from where we were stationed and it was American specs (I'm in Germany) so we went out to see the car and the body and interior were in ok shape the engine looked like ass lol. but we bought it for 900 euro (about $1200) and that is that.

        I love pics and im sure other BG bros do as well so here is a few of the parts a have not easily seen.



        The LED´s i put in my oh so sexy altezza tail lights. I chose this light because the newer mazda models all have the same type of design.

                And don't waste your time with the msp LSD. Just spend the little extra and go with the mfactory

                  i keep hearing that they are crap. I found one thats the ver. 2 of the LSD and TIG welded for about 500 something. Im never running boost because i love N/A engines so the most ill ever see out of my ZE is 200 at the crank. Do you still recommend an Mfactory or Qualife one?

                  And yes MANY hate the scoop. but i have a vented CF hood. I just have to make the trade once my parts get off the boat.
                  I LOVE the ganador look so much. Im just sad they never made MX3 ones so i had to use EBAY knockoffs. It still does the job i love the look. I was going to try and mod some ganadors from a mazda DW demio but ill wait a few years before i buy 300 usd mirrors and spend 100 to make them fit lol....

                    well an mfactory is only 200 bucks more, and its the correct spline count. ask mark about his, he loves it.

                          Listen to bogaut, and get the Mfactory. Its a VASTLY better unit then the Mazda unit.
