1992 Mazda MX3 RS review from North America
"A healthy competitor"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing really, except for the things I caused.
General comments?
When the car was stock it was pretty sweet, but once I started modifying it became a monster. After market parts aren't readily available, but fabrication and customizing along with universal parts yielded massive power gains. In Addition, weight reduction drastically helped performance.
A car that has just as much bite as it does bark all the way to red-line and gets 34 miles to the gallon is pretty impressive in my book.
