My car before and after

[n2daizo123]

When ever I get a newly acquired car the first thing I do is strip out the interior, clean it, and reinstall it. Here are some pics of what I have to start with an ill post pics of the finished product when it s done.




Here is a shot of the engine.

pretty clean, good find, how does it run currently?

[n2daizo123]

Its not very clean. All the seats and carpet are coming out for a steam cleaning and all the easily removed plastic panels are coming out for a good scrubbing. I dont like driving around a dirty car. The car cranks but doesnt stay running long because the timing is off. That should be fixed in about a week.

Did you buy this car in Florida????

More progress. All the carpet and seats out for cleaning, should be able to reinstall it today.

yeah, there's nothing like stripping the interior, cleaning, shampooing the carpet, and seeing the end result... it is so much easier to live with a used car that way.

[brads94accord]

good luck, I have done the same, it comes so much cleaner that way. We pulled out all of the interior, pressure washed and scrubbed everything with industrial orange clean.

[n2daizo123]

Yep, I hate riding around in someone else's mess. I got it all back in ill post pics up later today.

[n2daizo123]

More progress.


The finished result except the console. I have to fix the shifter first.




Some shots of the out side. The body is straight but it needs a paint job.

ZE most Definitely. I need the speed more than i need the looks. If all goes well I should have the cash for the motor at the end of august. Do you have best Japanese engines number?

OK. It will be a couple of months b4 I get the motor. I want to get a clutch and flywheel 1st along with the gaskets, phenolic spacers, water pump, ect ect ect.

fidanza flywheel and an ACT clutch

Fidanza flywheel and centerforce dual friction clutch. Thats what I had in my probe and it did real well.

Did you buy this car in Florida????

Yes why?

[Siverprobegt]

I was looking at it too!!!!!P.S Center force is a piece of crap IMO..Try ACT or Clutchmaster stage III.

Yep I saw this on craigs list, called the guy, and was in jacksonville 2 days later. I thought it was a good deal. cheapest mx3 gs ive ever found.

[kfzemx3]

i'm running fidanza and centerforce dual friction, works great, i will say that all the people on mx-3.com with clutchmaster clutches all hate them, i had the clutchmaster Stage IIR and it went out on me within 5k, i've have the centerforce on for about 10k

When you start to upgrade in power,centerforce will begin to slip...Ive got a stage III in my friend probe,Works GREAT

[kfzemx3]
