1993 Mazda MX3 GS review from North America
"Here is a potential Civic slayer.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seat warmer lights haven't worked since I have owned it.
Sticky sunroof... Have to use a little persuasion.
General comments?
After installing front/rear upper strut/shock bars, it corners better than stock... way better...$240.
Cross drilled rotors front/rear w KVR brake pads really stop my car in a hurry. $1750.
Exhaust job - 2 3/8" stainless pipe, no resonator or cayaltic converter, to a performance muffler adds 12hp!! $245.
