But you still would need some stuff out of the MX-3 aside from the crossmember.

Who knows, maybe it would be really good to boost??? I don't know anything about the 1.8l V6

Fastest "stock" time for a MX-3, 16.0 (David Coleman)
Fastest "stock" time for a 1st gen Pro ~16.3 (varies)
1st gen pros have shorter gearing and weigh less than their MX-3 rivals...
Anyway, get a beater MX-3 v6, and use the parts along with an 900 dollar KLZE and get yourself 200 crank hp w/170 lb-ft....and run 14s all day long.

They do the swaps in Ontario, I think.... But I don't think they ever check their e-mail

Oh yea, and I'd assume it would be the axles from the MX-3, unless the MX-6 axles are the same length... And I think you also need the front brake assemblies, from the MX-6 would be prefered (bigger rotors).

i know about that guy in ontario. i dont think i want to drive all the way there(seeing as i live in fla)to have him do it. thanks anyway. its not a bad price for all u get (engine,trans,ecu,harness,axles,crossmember,mx6 brakes and front suspension, and install)for 4300$. but like i said id rather do it myself.
