Possibly the Oddest Swapped MX-3.... 2.2 Turbo MX-6 GT Engine, Transmission, Brakes

ya she's come a long way lol. Hood fits a bit odd by the drivers headlight though...glad to see he's still got it...thing looked real rough to begin with lol...not feeling the chameleon paint tho :/ white suits MX-3s IMO

Eh, it's not final fitment. The chameleon paint RULES!!!!!! You're just a hater.

This car will be down at the GRM $2012 Challenge with me.

The Challenge was really awesome!!! With Ben's help we figured my BOV was leaking and he brought a replacement with a new spring. Installed a Manual Boost Controller with a Chipped ECU and gained probably 60hp and stopped at 15psi with room to go higher. Next year I'm bringing it back and it'll be running larger injector and a DIYPnP as well with zero boost leaks ;-) Placed 12/35 on my first time out with it (I drove it twice to work after installing the engine, and headed to FL with it) Lol....

ok so the paint is growing on me LOL

Car looks awesome!!! Glad you and Ben met up, looks like you both had a damn good time!!

How's it looking under the hood now? Any changes?

[dansxr2]

Just cleaned it up some. I'm gonna redo the engine wiring and loom it all. By spring it'll be at 20+psi with an M-Factory LSD... Boost Leaking, pressurized VAF will be in a landfill too ;-)

looks good... aside from the compressor outlet pointing straight up, kind of an eye sore imo

[dansxr2]

Much better pointing up, than down... WV has aweful potholes and I'd rather not bust an I/C, its only 3" on the ground as it at the lowest point (transmission mount bracket).

[bogaut]

fair enough. all the more reason to go air to water intercooler

[dansxr2]

Already considering it ;-)

Oh hai!

Dan's car fared a bit better than mine did. Had some issues that i should have caught early, but didn't. Then my clutch ruined the fun.

That MX3 RULES. Needs moar bewsts, though!!

[dansxr2]

Get your other MX-6 home?

[concealer404]

Nah, he's been busy at work, picking it up this weekend for sure, though. Dunno how much i'm going to do to it until the Escort is done, though. Kinda trying to thrash through the rest of that car so i'm not splitting time between everything. Might just grab the locks out of this one for now then come back to it so i can put the Miata away.

DIYPnP is up and running now, just got some smallish issues to work out and get ready to drive the hell out of it. It did get hit by a deer in October of last year.. Replaced the painted hood with a new Carbon Fiber one from Deft Racing.

still looking clean!!!

Updates coming soon!!!
