1996 MX-3 RS... soon to have MY BP! (X to 56k)

[Masterbanter]

Looking good man. Also about the mx-3 being wider, its only with the GS model unless you take some measurements, those escort gt TTLs and your mx-3s.

Tranny is lookin great tho man, this car should be more reliable than a 2008! lol

JACK.

Are you sure its the GS mx3 is wider because both subframes interchange. I have a GS subframe and all there rear parts that hook to it on my RS.

[projectmx]

not sure if the gs is different cause i have both and i haven't seen any change in them

[Shades]

For argument sakes, they're both the same RS and GS... they're just wider than the BG's.

Ok, looks like the fitment is all good on the transmission... it's going back together tomorrow hopefully after work if my boss stays late again.

Here are my rear arms...



The odd ones out are from the EGT... see how they are shorter.

oooo silver....nice

[hit25cal]

hey shades is that a 3 angle cut on the ports on that head?

Just a short update... I have now ripped all the suspension off the car, the rear shocks did not rebound... they were shot! Just took apart the front tonight, and gonna take them apart tomorrow after work... should be interesting to see if they are shot too. My car now stands on four jackstands... poor Chloe.

Waiting on Energy Suspension bushings for the trailing arms... hope they fit.
Waiting on SuperPro bushings for the TTL's... hope they fit.
I have the SRD bushings for the front A-arms... so gonna clean and put those in.
Gonna put in new bearings in my front hubs and already have the new hubs for the rear... oh and I had to get new through-bolts for the rear cause I had to cut them off to get the TTL's off... what a bitch, those bolts are hard!

I bought some non-paintable rubberized undercoating spray that I'm gonna spray down my arms with after I paint it black... that should keep the rust from eating them up.

[Masterbanter]

You just gotta love those bolts. when I did my disc brake swap I didnt have the tools to cut the bolt. So i just swapped in the GS Subframe.

[Shades]

Yeah mine came off a EGT... didn't want that crap on there.

Random pics from today... I got so much stuff hanging around the shop it looks like a Mazda Christmas, ornaments everywhere!
