If you get a v6 you could put the 2.5 from an mx6/probe and they fit like a glove. And boy do they give gsR integras a run for their money. I miss my youth 😭

1993 Mx-3 V6 GS manual with an all leather interior was my first car. Bought it for $2200. Made a lot of memories in that thing. I'd love to have another one.<br><br>Holy crap, i didn't realize that the one i had was a special edition!

Teary eyed, had a Blaze Red v6 commuter! I debadged it and always got questioned "What Porsche is that?, a mini 928?"

$35,000 in today's money. Today's money is not worth very much.

I still drive a 95 Civic coupe 5 sp manual. I want a MX-6 v6 manual too. 90s has the most interested cars.

The MX6 was dope, too. The second gen was beautiful. Mazda was nailing it with coupes in the 90s. The MX3, Miata, MX6, RX7. I’ll even give them coupe credit for the B series pickup trucks. So rad. (The Ranger clones.)

I think you will find that quite a few people, car people, will have knowledge and some love for this car with that engine. I would even take the engine without the car. A 24v 1.8L baby V6 was always cool, back when new or now. Great car and a great video
