Ive got a 95 tracer 4 door, and im picking up a 92 mx3 gs.Im aware that the seats and center console are a popular swap, but what else can i swap into the tracer.Id like to make the mx3 dash and harness work, but im wondering if the dash would fit in the tracer and look decent.Anybody have any info on this?

You need to move the rear latch brackets in the tracer for the mx3 back seat to work. Also depending on what dash you get the heater controls will be a task to make work since they use actuators. Also i've heard that the dash doesn't go all the way tight to the windshield by about a half inchI live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

I didn't have to change anything for the backseat to fit in either of my Escorts, both were hatchbacks though so maybe something is different. However the seats don't latch in all the way, but I've never had a problem with it coming loose in the 3 1/2 years of having it in there. You will need to swap the bracket that clips the seat bottom to the floor though.Not the sports page Not a magazine

the whole bottom half of the dash fits. you have to modify a few minor things.
the hvac cables fit, but you have to repin some electrical plugs (mine still arent right but my fan works so thats all i really care about).Escort GTR -- 11.87 @ 117.6 mph -- 320 HP / 325 Ft. Lbs. @ 23 PSI

i can take pics of mine installed, but i'm not taking it apart lol.
its really easy. you have to trim the steel part of the dash over by the fog light switch, and you have to remove a cross brace sorta thing in the middle by the radio. some of the screw holes dont line up, but enough do.Escort GTR -- 11.87 @ 117.6 mph -- 320 HP / 325 Ft. Lbs. @ 23 PSI

couldnt you just take that radio brace off the car in the junkyard? i know the one from the mx3 dash i had unbolted then i popped it off. that way at least all the holes will line up.1994 Escort LX Wagon
