Had an hour to kill this week while waiting at the airport for a flight... so I started surfing ebay.
Bought myself a JDM KLZE to stuff into my MX3.
That's about 75 more hp than it's currently got.
So, to anyone that was stuck behind me at Solo Sprint School... I'll be able to get out of your way much faster to let you go by. :D

Good luck with the swap and more power is ALWAYS better :D

Nice - I drove a 93 Probe GT with one of these engines and it moved pretty nicely. Your MX3 should fly!

That sounds like a great buy. Looking forward to seeing the end result!:)
At the same time, never worry about holding people up. It is important for all drivers to learn at their own speed and for all others to, when necessary, learn patience. (philosophy lesson over)

I did - $760 delivered from TO to Peterborough.
Picked up a flashed ECU for it too off an MX3 forum.
Engine should be installed some time this week, too late for lapping, so the car will be stored until next year. A set of sticky tires and we'll be good to go!
