    link to the subframe post =


    mx-3 v6 steering rack(quicker ratio)
    zx-2 front swaybar (25mm)

    i guess i would be to tell people size/benofits of the mod to, if its a direct bolt on or any modding too make work, and even a link of pics or talk about the mod/upgrade.
    thanks

    For the front you just need to grab the MX-3 LCAs and cut off the droplink bracket to expose the endlink holes.

    As for the rear, you need both rear TTLs, you can run your current swaybar, but you'll need to get some heim joints, talk to Ryan BPT323 about those.

    It's a fairly straight forward swap, i'm not 100% sure if i'll end up doing this to my 323 since i dont have any TTL hardware anymore (damn parents).

    Also someone mentioned we can use 3rd gen protege upper strut mount assemblies front/rear so we can use 3rd gen springs/coilover sleeves.

    Then 3rd gen protege shifters are supposed to be 15-20% shoter throws compared to our stockers.

    BG BP automatic rads are supposed to be thicker as well for better cooling.

    2nd gen BP/kia upper 1/2 of the intake manifold is 1" taller and has a different runner flow/style.

    Kia BP axles are a simple axle swap if you've changed to the MSP LSD.

    From what I'VE seen, 93+ MX-3 GSs come with a 2.25" catback exhaust system. At least all the ones i've ever seen (fit mx-3s, 323s)

    ALSO. VAF adapter comes STOCK on ALL Merkur XR4Ti cars. Takes a bit to get at them tho.

    Not sure if the 2.3 Mustangs do either, the SVO's would.

    Hope this has helped or confused

    JACK.

    RX7 AFM's are an upgrade

    the FS 2.0 alternator only needs the pulley changed & it bolts right in place... id suggest a larger ring terminal tho for the power feed.
