i come from quebec, canada,i drive a 96 mx-3 with a +/-300whp bpt that kills transmition every 2 months

i wanted to introduce myself so that i can acess the majority of the pics/links in the appropriate section

thanks for your time

[mx-3_4evr]

[kaboshe]

well, the name'S Frank,but i defenetly like Kab better

this is my 96 rs-bpt,owned it for 4 years, and bought with the bpt bolted in,nothing else






i run a BONE STOCK bpt,he only thing that have been changed (exept for the pumps n belts) is the bp05 head to increase air-flow.

since i live in quebec, i have to store it for 6 month, so i'll do a resume cause the car change every 6 months

a little pull, 20-120mph


since those pics i changed rims 3 times, installed a full stainless 3'' exaust,from downpipe to muffler. ordered another map sensor since 20 psi isin't enough,yet again, my goal this season is 11.9@120

Very nice. I like that manifold and hate you because of all the room the mx3 has for it

[kaboshe]

i have between 1/16 and 1/8 between my gt30 antisurge housing and my oem rad fan
i'm tottally sure that you have exactly the same space that i have under the hood

[mx-3_4evr]

Now get into the toyota tranny swap! and update this! Show everyone here you new car lol

[kaboshe]

ok, it's been a while,here a major update with tons of pics

my hood popped in my face at the track, ruined both the windshield, the top ,wings etc
it went over at 160-170,so no big chance of saving something.hood pins failure,horrible mess

here!, a in car video of what happened





before

after










if you told me 2 weeks ago that my car would look like that,i'd probably would have jumped from the third floor

since 700 was way too much to repair my car i had to find another one, and i did find one, @ 700$
mx-3 gs 95,bleu mica,ATX, full options,no rust at all, 121 000 km, it was a deal,so,over with the drums, got my rear subframe with sway bar/rear disc,sunroof etc etc
it's been sitting in a garage backyard for 7 months, so it's kinda dirty

a huge thanks to all the help i had
here's the gs,


dont forget thet i'm keeping everything from my rs, suspention direction,cross member etc etc, rs to gs really IS a lot of job

4 guy to get 1 engine off

1h to take the block off





the whole engine bay was brushed,and painted with gravelguard/flat black paint






pimp my ride ,mx-3 style





brakes were simply horrible, so i kept everything,wheel hub etc

[kaboshe]

horrible part, as i had to take the k08 away we used the same chain block that we used on the pic, one part is atached to the celling, and the other part is on wheel,so you can move it around easy,

problem/top gear top tips,do not EVER EVER lock the wheels on anything with that kind of chain block, as the wheel got stuck on the pickuptruck, the whole thing flipped over, and YES we almost got killed,we were 2 ppl standing on the pickup









it was scarry, nobody was hurt, and the only damage was a rear suspention for the pickup(suspention blade?) and my upper rad suport was ****ed.luckily for us it wasent the whole pickup cab, or my widshield AGAIN

we put the thing up again and tested it with my friend's dad tractorif it can hold 20 tons, maybe it's gonna be good enough for my bpt


and it did pass the test








pour la premiere fois en 5 ans, le bloc sort du char :0

turbo mx-3 saga






i love you man!


my dump tube broke off due to poor weld/cheap material

clutch bearring had to be taken off

[kaboshe]

le fillage, it's horrible, it was a b6 96 obd2, with a megasquirt as piggyback,cutted/splitted from my car'wiring,installed in a 95 automatik gs

real rat nest, like 18feet long

rear brakes were long dead, so i ahd everything in new to install


BAD surprise, an alignement ajustement rod was bended, probably by someone who didin't knew how to tow a car

i had sapres one, lucky me
began at 11-12, finished at 4 am,dead, with a bottle of wine

after 15-16h, te simplest task was looking like a mountain, we searched everywhere for tools that were in our hands

were dead tired, so we slept in the car from 5 to 8 and started again

getting my bpt in the gs








there is a LOT of things that dosent fit, espetially the ****en heater rad's hoses



now ebout everything is bolted back up, as some updates, i bought projectors so i dosen't kill myself when it's raining,and a mazdaspeed protege transmition, so my lsd is FINALLY on the way to the weld shop





now it'S in, i have some problems with the wiring, so i sent my ms/wiring to get torn apart ,so i can run the gs/rs being stand alone, lot less problems.once the car fires up, it needs an enlignement, and off i go with a new car, it's been a real headache, but we did about everything in 2 days

i'll update later

[scort4life]

You suck! Nice RIDE, Not fair!
