I haven't swapped dashes, at least not yet. All the wiring has been changed, however.
Good news today - the car fired up on the first crank with the complete MX3 harness. Tach works, speedo works, CEL operates properly. Got a little more to finish putting it back together and then later tonight I'll test drive it. Seems to run a touch better with the MX3 fuel pump but it may be in my head only - I'll verify that for sure later. The old 323 sender was dead though.
The cool thing is now I'm wired for power windows, cruise, ABS, rear wiper, whatever I want to install later if I feel like it.
In all, less than 30 wires required splicing, and most of those were the easy kind - the tail lights, front parking lights, brake reservoir fluid level, hazard light switch - pretty much just color-match things.
One thing I still have to add is the front cooling fan relay I've been hunting for 3 weeks.
I also have to cut a small metal plate to adapt the mx3 column to the 323 lower pedal assembly. The bonus is now I have the mx3 variably intermittent wiper controls working as well.
I'm excited!'90 Mazda 323 - V6 KLDE, supercharged, right-hand drive, build log

Nope, it was NOT in my head - the car is definitely quicker now. The old sender was dead and the old pump was definitely tired. I'm happy with how it turned out...'90 Mazda 323 - V6 KLDE, supercharged, right-hand drive, build log

I should get some vids in the next week or so. Here are the pics from today. Still a little trim piece to add to the center console and some minor wrap-up work but over all she's almost done.

Was it difficult mounting the mx3 cluster into the 323 dash? It came out really clean looking(the whole car that is).1993 Protege LX-Midnight's shadow SOLD
