    MATT91GT's 91scort Worklog

    picked in up in Washington, DC in June 2006. I got it for free from a family member that needed to get rid of some vehicles. Drove the 200 miles back home. parked the car and didnt play with it. started reading up on feoa.net and then eventually here.

    I had to replace the rear calipers and springs to pass inspection.

    Then shortly after that i decided to remove the side skirts and filled the holes with bondo and painted them. While i painted them i decided to paint the rear reflectors also.

    In october 2006 i picked up a rx7 b code vaf. Other than that i pretty much kept the car stock.

    In August 2007 i picked up a set of zx2 s/r struts and some eibach springs. When i put them on i loved them.

    January 2008 i bought a pacesetter cat-back and genie header from smoke187. I put the exhaust on right away, and started purchasing things to get the header on. i gave up on the header because i didnt have much cash to spend for a section of custom exhaust. sold the header in April of 2008.

    In April 2008 i found a set of MX3 seats in the junkyard and picked them up. Man what a difference over stock. While i was at it i snagged another shifter to attempt to move the ball up. I gave up on that and just bought one from therieldeal in May 2008.

    Over summer 2008 i began purchasing turbo parts (again), this time with the intent of getting the job done. i still need a few more things to do this.

    In late August 2008 i purchased a set of ground controls from smoke187. As well as an addco rear sway bar. On 9/7/08 in installed tha addco sway bar. That day also began the coil over swap.

                        Haha, nice. Just funny how you say you want to turbo in the log and then your like "v6 swap next month".

                        So you got the GC and S/Rs in?

                          yea hahah, i can never make up my mind.

                          yup got the GC and S/R's in, seems a little soft for my taste, but i think the struts are going out. i am very hard on the car. and i think i could use stiffer springs. first ill get new struts to see if that makes a difference

                              got home yesterday and i had power windows and locks waiting for me.

                              today i ordered some Energy Suspension bushings for the Front LCA's and im gonna put those into the mx3 LCAs while they are sitting in my hatch.

                              dropped the transmission off at school to take apart in class tomorrow. gonna take the fuel filter bracket off the trans and pitch it. there is a big parts washer so im gonna clean the case up real nice and get all the gunk off it.

                              i want to fill the motor mounts, anyone have any recomendations on some good polyurethane fill? i was even thinking about seeing if the welding dept could weld them for me.

                              at work im going to take apart a spare set of headlights for the frames to start preparing them to mate to the e36 lights.
