    My Escort LX BPTed

    Hi, I have few posts here now and I would like to present my car

    Ford Escort LX with BPT

    This is the car in 2006...
    and now my baby us at the paintshop to be all black and it will come with a front mount of course.... and notice that my boost gauges etc.. are now on my pillar.... 2007 pics to come in one week
    notice my protege dash in the car :D I converted my harnesses to make it fit because mazda gauges are very nice compared to ford ones

    My new exterior mods are : GT bumpers, one piece sideskirt, tracer corner

          Nice car man. The LX to BP plan sounds familiar.

          Any chance I could get those mud flaps? I need them in the winter.

              Awesome car!

              I'll be sure to pick your brain on how you wired the BP into your car (as well as the protege cluster).

                was really easy man,

                we kept the cabin harness , then just add the BP ECU and plug the engine harness to it.. worked #1

                as for the main harness ( alternator to fusebox) we kept the same because I dunnno why but the main realy didnt function with the mazda one....

                but all is working great now.. more pics to come soon, freshly painte and freshly Front mounted

                        mazda gauges look good, also the gtx/canadian gt seats are nice too.
                        how much rewireing had to be done for the gauge cluster swap?

                          Yeah man, spill the beans...

                          I have an LX cluster hanging out in my shop that would love to move into my dashboard.

                            I did all the wiring by myself, taking the diagrams of the LX and the 323 then change alll the wiring... I think everything is the same color

                            some things wont work properly, ( gas gaugeis reversed ( full tank = E, empty tank = half) /speedo is off of 10 kph at 100 kph)

                            but doesnt mater !
