Ok so this is my 1996 Mazda Mx3 Gs V6... Its old but still in pretty good shape so i bought it for 2000$. its has alot of mileage (300000kms) although it still runs very smooth. Anyhow once the engine is done im dropping a klze in there ;) So im starting to do some body jobs here and there. fixing up some little rust spots but the main place i gotta fix is the rockers. Once that is done ill add a torsion bar here and a strut there. Klze and 6 speed Miataspeed tranny there! Yes my project will be done friends. It might take two years but i cannot wait to see the end results. BTW No bigass ugly spoiler or body kit is going on my car.... it will be a pure Black Sleeper!

What i have done so far to it : Paid about 3000$ for some mechanical changes. Timing systems, and I have an Apex Suspension System! Did some body work at some easy places. Cut my own short shifter LOL! it works great! and Recently got my wheels painted Gunmetal by my bro! He even through in some Red calipers in there for me too. Have a 2.5 exhaust line with original tip so cops cant bug me and a custom made Cold Air which was pretty simple to do ;) 

So whats next in line : Mx3 Blackout Projector lights (Angel eyes)

                                17 Inch Wheels with 215's or 225's (if it can be done)

                                Frame Work, New Mazda Miataspeed transmission and KLZE Turbo

                                Tinted Windows and once everything is done... new Black Metallic Paint ;)

 

Alright so here's how it looks so far... the first pics are before i got my wheels painted...julioabate's 1996 Mazda MX-3
