Got my M3 mirrors in today
 

well after a saddend day of being at a wake for my aunt , I arrived home to notice that my M3 mirrors have arrived . I ordered these off of ebay about 5 days ago or so .. and they have finally arrived, I have attached two pics of them so you can check them out ,, apparently they are a 2 peice design that comes with the mirror as 1 and the backplate to fill the car from the window .. looks pretty smooth if I may say so .. ohh did I mention these are power mirrors and I will be converting my protege manual mirrors to power ......

thanks for looking
Bruce

here is a pic of both peices

hey bruce i was checking those out also, but i'm wanting to keep the manual mirror version do you think the manual mirrors will work? also are those the ones for the 3rd gen pros?

yeah they are the ones for the 3rd gen , I want the power cause I can't stand not being able to reach over to move the damn mirror over there lol
Bruce

i actually just installed the same mirrors on my friens tercel tonight, they are nice mirrors. the "objects in mirror are closer than they appear" thing is actually etched into the mirror, not some cheap sticker. they look good

is the LED amber ??? how much were they ?

don't know the color of the led yet , but I know they cost me about 90 bucks including shipping ,.....

should be ordering my 1.8 in about a month ...
Bruce

are you going to paint them the color of the car or keep them black???

make sure you post some pics once they are on !

Where did you get them?

www.ebay.com as stated in his post:D

Let us know how they fit as Im thinking of getting them for my 97....

I am going to paint them the color of the car, they may not go on for a while , maybe not till after the engine is done ....

I will try and do a test fitting for you guys so you can see how they fit .. it just needs to warm up

i just got my m3 installed they are carbon fiber with blu tint
they look really nice

post some pics !!!

i will post them as soon as they get developed

from what i see, all the led's on those things, that are on ebay, are a 'hyper' blue. i was going to get them, but blue doesnt go with anything on my car, as all the lights i have are green. i was considering, however, to change the led. if someone could let me know the size, id be in business :D

Just ask the seller if they have green cause i asked for amber cause i don't want to be pulled over by every @sshole cop who decides to

lol, like me. been pulled over about 4 times. i tell you, what a waste of man power! amber is so ugly though.. i cant deal with it. hehe.

well last time i got pulled over for lights it cost me 180 dollars. why don't they ****ing bother criminals not people who like to play around with their cars

$180!!!! WTF! are you serious?! :eek: :eek: wow, that's as much as a ticket for speeding 20 mph over the speed limit! damn, and all that time he had you pulled over and giving you a ticket, someone nearby was either raped, beat up, robbed, or killed. kinda nice when you think about it :rolleyes:

For real when you get pics , post em up so we can see them

Bruce95fmla...
I have to give you props...you have a sweet ride. I always thought the 2nd gens would make a nice looker with some suttle modding...you have my taste and kudos! :)

They look nice!. Will they be on for the May meet ?..Jon

thank your for the comments , I tend to be pretty picky when it comes to my mods, but that is mainly how I am , no matter what I love that jspec bumper the most ... I can't get over it , and imagine right now I don't have the lip on the car and it justs looks so different on the car from any other factory protege ..... I can't wait to get the engine in and completed so I can finish up doing some body mods...

I am thinking of getting some erebuni side skirts , cause I saw another car with them and it looks pretty sweet ....

Bruce

I doubt they will be on to be honest , cause I am 100% involved in getting the 1.8 in the car and getting it running .. so the body mods that are to come will come after ,,, I honestly don't know if I will be making it to the meet though , mainly cause I will have class from 9am to 12n , and that kinda kills it ... I am trying to get all A's this semester so missing a class won't really help , if you follow me .....

Bruce

Did u get a BPT already?. Where r u getting it ?. Anyway u can leave class early say 10-30 -11ish? Hope to see u there its gonna be a big meet ...Jon

no , I did not order it yet ,, I am getting the BP motor ,, factory issue 1.8 motor,, wait that reminds me to look up miata 1.8 turbo's , i need some ideas on what these guys are doing ,, and study there methods,, after all they are our 2 door topless sisters:D

Sounds good. Its a swap not to common. I only have seen 1 other turbo 2nd gen on the boards. As far as i know the stock bp motor is very strong and can handle what ur looking for maybe a vj20 turbo or even better a Vj23 ballbearing? :-)...Jon

any ides on the price of a vj23 turbo
Bruce

and how easy it is to find?

corksport maybe?

Well a vj-23 and manifold costs about 900-1000. And a Vj-20 and manifold about 400-500.The best thing to do would be to just buy a gtx motor 875 plus 255 shipping to u and u will get a built motor with a turbo and manifold for 1125 shipped. U also get the cool Turbo Intercooled sticker on the intake manifold :). They normally have around 36k. The Vj-20 is good for around 200 hp and u can always upgrade the turbo to make alot more power....www.barelylegaltransplants.com ...Jon

we can continue all the turbo conversation here .. so not to get off topic

M3 side mirrors for '99 pro
 

i got those m3 mirrors last week, and tried installing it yesterday on my '99 pro... my pro already had power mirrors, so i first unplugged the connections from the passenger side... i then connected the wires (for the power, not the led's) from one of the m3 mirrors to the plug on the car door and tried testing it out... it didn't work... so tried the driver's side mirror and it wouldn't work either... i then plugged in the original passenger side mirror, and the power still didn't work ( neither the passenger side nor driver side)... but, all the power windows and door locks etc. still worked... i checked all the fuses (both driver and fuse block) and nothing was blown... i straight up need some madd help... hit me up...

thanks!

I got my mirrors yesterday and i'm checking htem out it will definantly be difficult to put them on, they come in two pieces the mirror itself and the base which the mirror bolts into, the base is completely wrong for the 2nd gen and will have to be either very carefully shaved or a new piece molded to fit the car, also i order a manual mirror but when i got it there was no little arm thing to use to move the mirror around, why is that? does the old one someone go into this?

mirrors
 

i got the same mirrors for my p5.. except i made sure they had the amber led.. the mirror its self looks kinda cheesy and it came in paintable white.. uGh.. with it came in nasty black.. oh well.. i should have em on in about a month. -=)
