Anyone in the NY, NJ, CT area that is interested in starting an MX-3 team drop me a line in my guestbook.

You should visit www.MX-3.com before asking any questions about the work I have done.

Major thanks to all the Mazda MX-3 owners out there for the inspiration and knowledge, in particular those at MX-3.com, Corksport, ModifiedMazda.com, and the MX-3 Owners Club of Atlanta.


"Invader/Combat" style body kit, carbon fiber hood with inverted vent, custom Civic projector headlights.
17" silver Riax Zuka wheels with Ventus tires.

The headlights are wired up properly including the halo ring. The old turn signal lenses and housings have been removed. Here's how they look at night:

For those of you who don't aready know, the headlights are 01-03 Civic projectors. They need to be custom modified in the form of cutting them to fit and resealing them. I also made some cuts to my car. You have to pretty much just make it up as you go along, but if you want a guide, I used this web site: EvilYeti.com

Just blacked out my stock tail lights. Already been pulled over once for them. No ticket yet, but I think I am going to go back to stock. So enjoy the pics now:

The new engine has lots of performance parts including...
a Fidanza lightweight flywheel, ACT clutch...

Corksport downpipe, new exhaust manifold...

Magnecor 8.5mm ignition wires, new head gakset, new intake and exhaust manifold gaskets, various other new gaskets around the turbo.

My friend gave me his stock intercooler from his Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.
