    ever taken your 4wd through 1ft of snow in the mountains Ryan? PS makes me feel very safe I wouldn't dare rally without it!
    No car! I soldz it. Now I have a truck. I like it, but apparently it has a hard time keeping up with a slightly modified 4WD protege with half the hp. Neat.

      I like PS generally, but I want this car to scoot well (extra weight, parasitic loss), and I had no problems with the manual steering before. Of course it's a bit heavier now and it turns 205s instead of the 175s, but it shouldn't be too bad.

      Even the drag car turning 9in slicks at 6psi air pressure isn't too bad as long as I'm moving, but I would never try to parallel park that

              Whoa, how do you blow up slicks?


              Tonight I finished the rear disc conversion by installing the parking brake cables from a Pro LX to finish that end. Got the Magnaflow test fitted as well, looks like it will tuck in nicely out of view.

              Of course if it was going too well something wasn't right, so I had my moments - right now I'm making a 3" spacer for the throttle body since i don't have the Millenia TB to go with the Millenia IM. I'm using a KLDE TB with a ZE IAC, drilled idle holes in the TB, and with the spacer it will finally clear the thermostat housing.

              Details, details...

                Engine dropped - I still have to tweak the engine alignment a bit and then a whole lotta vacuum line work.

                              Now that it's down to the nitty gritty, the car starts to fight back a bit

                              I had to replace the pass. side chassis bracket that holds the motor mount in place because I forgot to do so before dropping the motor in, which is why it was a bit off center. A quick trip to the yards and I came back with a blue one that I painted red to match and the engine is now straight on.

                              The other problem was putting the transmission mounts on and into the crossmember. All 4 mounts are filled with tough 94-shore polyurethane so the engine is rock solid in its cradle now, but that made for a fun time aligning the bottom ones to fit. Because the engine sags a bit in its stock mounts, the new position with the filled mounts meant that the shift linkage wasn't lining up properly so I spent another hour and a half massaging those pieces in.

                              Also did the heater core lines and fuel lines, bolted the starter up and screwed in the tach cable. I'll do a bit more electrical work and bolt up the y-pipe. Tomorrow I'll be up early before the football games to finish the vacuum setup and finish welding the exhaust.

                              Sadly, the Probe/MX6/MX3 radiator will not fit without some cutting up front so I think I'll just use the Pro LX unit in front of the upper rad. support and use a fan on it. It IS possible to make the V6 rad. fit, but right now I just want the car to run, and since I don't have slimline fans handy I'll use the Pro fan. I don't like running without a fan, this being California and all.

                                the neon radiator should fit with no problems, to the point that u can use 2 radiator fans without space problems. 95 to98 neon and 10 inch electric fans.
