        Update! She's 100% legit now, certified, etested, insured, plated and stickered! Not to mention back at my place swapped her for the BG tonight...will be getting a friend to drive the BG back here lol



        My parents helped me out big time with the car, it wouldn't be any of those without them lol I just fixed it and paid for everything lol.

        So they took the picture above, and also this one haha.



        I'm working tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday, but I'm hoping to get her washed in the morning before work...we'll see if I can wake up early enough lol

          Washed her before work and cleaned the rims up quickly (Mothers cleaner ftw). Stole these pics that Jason (IMACHU2) took today at work lol











          Decided she's going to get +97 Escort front strut mounts before winter, and I'll do the other tie rod end and have her aligned. I figure the car is sitting just over 1/2" higher in the front than the rear so it'll at least look level for now LOL

          Also have to make a few orders from Mazda next week, and hope they can source me out some OEM floor mats! Sucks not having any mats in your car, and such an odd colour carpet lol can't find crap to match! I can only find those clear rubber floor mats :/

              they are damn comfy! I just wish it had tilt on the drivers side...my knee is getting VERY tender after about 30 minutes of drive time :/

              Also found out my sunroof is leaking today lol...it's been raining here for 3 days now...front drain lines are clean n free, but I'll have to drop the headliner to check the rears :/

                Please dont ruin your chassis by doing that.. The bolt pattern is spread further apart by like an inch on those strut mounts. They work fine on the 93+ 626's, but the 88-92 you have to drill out the holes on your physical chassis of the car to make them fit. And there's no way to fix that after doing it. Its just not worth it to do permanent damage to your car to do a cheap 1/4 inch drop. Just do it right with some lowering springs.

                  Well crap, didn't know the bolt pattern was larger...hmm, guess I'll look into the ATX strut mounts, I've noticed they're different than the MTX ones oddly enough, I'll just have to order 1 of each to make sure then since I'm still saving for the struts/springs and doing them after winter.

                  Anyways, here's some pics from todays cleaning!









                  Also started adding LEDs everywhere lol



                  Next pay I'll be ordering a few more misc pieces from Mazda, hopefully some floor mats too...lol

                    Thank you! There's a been a few probe guys that have drilled out there strut towers to do that mod, and it just makes me cry inside to see such damage done to these cars.

                      Ya no doubt lol...no thank you!

                      OK so options for lowering springs guys...

                      ST springs 1" drop

                      Vogtland springs 1.5" drop

                      B&G springs 1.6" drop (not really feeling the B&Gs though)

                      I've decided I'm going to hunt down some Crown Victoria/Grand Marquis BBS wheels for her as well....15" so I'll run a 205/55R15 to maintain speedo accuracy and gearing.

                        The car looks mint! I think some rx8 wheels would look good on it, if they are the same bolt pattern.

                          I've been thinking of the Vic BBS for the escort too. There's a set on eBay for pretty cheap, but ship to Canada might kill.

                            I just googled an image of those crown vic bbs and you they would look sick on either the 626 or the escort..... btw MP you think that the 626 seats would fit in a protege? They look comfortable.

                              I'll check the seat brackets out tomorrow for ya Mike, they sit as tall as the 323/Protege seats though lol I felt like I was driving a truck when I first got in it haha, well at least compared to the MX3 seats in my Protege.

                              RX8 wheels are a bit big for my taste tho lol, I'm trying to go with something more year specific lol

                              Cody! I love those BBS wheels, ever since Durwood showed me the low offset ones (bigger lip, ect) I looked into it a bit further and they have a higher offset version so I'm pretty pumped to find some eventually lol
