    Default MX-3 Vs SRT4

    Ok, on my way from TN to ATL I saw an MX-3 on 75S. We both Took 285 (going towards Augusta). When the two lanes merged from 75s onto 285 this MX-3 took off. I dropped down to third and passed him in forth. I figured it had to be some sleeper. I tried to slow down again for another round after activating the boost controller but he didn't bite. Good run!

    So you passed a guy that wasn't racing you?

    I don't understand how this was a race?

    Be careful what you wish for .... Some cats with swapped MX-3 rolling around...

    When I had my old v6 mx-3 I was beating up on some SI's, GSR's( Lightly modded).. (not much to brag about), But my old mx-3 moved it was actually fun to drive that sucker.


    And it did a buck thirty five no problem also. 190k+ miles for what it was.

    I forgot to say... a MX-3 is definitely no match for a SRT NEON.

    The color was an off blue and it definetly wasn't stock. I was beating stock MX-3s in high school with my 1st Gen Neon. If this was an ordinary MX-3 do you think I would waste time and post about it. I'm running a S1, AGP WGA, NeedSwing In Cabin MBC, and a K&N CAI. I spike at 19 and hold 15. The guy had a great sleeper because the only visual difference was a polished muffler tip.

    That Was Me!!! Yeah dude I was not about to get my butt handed to me a second time. I would love to run a SRT from a stand still...but I have nothing for you on the highway. I have a 2.5L KLZE engine in my MX-3. Its a J-spec Mellinia/Mx-6 motor. I thought you might be wanting me to run up on you again...and I had to talk myself out of it Bush Senior style..."Not Gonna Duit". It looked like you were with another person from TN? I saw you haul a$$ to get over with them. Yeah sleeper is the word..in daylight you would have seen the Green Turd Paint job. The clearcoat on a 1993 paint job only lasts for so long when the previous owner abuses it.

    Anyway...Props and Good Kill...Er...unfair fight

    Ps. Perry You didn't even think that it could have been me???

    Yeah that was me on the highway! At first I thought the Integra wanted some but you came from out of nowhere. My wife was pissed off because she had to use the bathroom(since Chattanoga) while I was slowing down. She was driving the Camry with TN plates. We were in town for HIN now we are in Augusta. I'm giving props cause that was a good run. I love sleepers.

    there r some BP-DET (1.8 jdm 323 motor) swapped MX3's out there that would rip an SRT-4 a new one even with stock turbo at stock boost (the GTR BPT is 215 hp) and the sky is the limit with those motors, there are like a duck to water when it comes to handling boost. there are ppl on protegepower forums that have them in everything from a 323 hatch, 4 door protege, and even MX3's that are in the 9's... thats 1/4 mile, imagine on the HWY.

    Yeah, a friend of mine has a BP-T swaped in him mx-3 and he dynoed it at 250. A Haltech will do amazing things to those set-ups.
