      Damn I need catching too, I got 201k on the body and only 2200 miles on the motor.

        When I first bought my bluetooth CD player in the fall, I wasn't sure where to put the microphone, so I simply hooked it on the A pillar but I always thought it looked like crap

        So since my GT doesn't have A/C today I relocated the microphone where the "dummy" button was below the dimmer

        If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

          That is where the cruise control switch goes. Some have wired that button to a starter button as well.

            Forgot to update that I had a ball joint wear out on me, caused a little un-even tire wear lol



            Replaced both front tires and ball joints and been trouble free ever since

            Soon I'll be making a new build thread for the new project car

              How many BF Wagons are in this forum? I bought one from the original owner and the wife has happily crossed 270K miles in it, and we're saving parts up for a turbo (and maybe AWD since I have a donor GTX shell). As far as I know, the Familia Van/Wagon never had performance oriented variants, though Japan did have the 4wd Familia Van (Wagon) for a few years, but usually with the crappy carbureted E5 engine.

                This wagon is already equipped with all the GT goodies though, I'll be starting a build thread for it soon

                      The metal across the top feels thicker then the areas that it separated at, that's why I didn't feel the need to cap it..... The repair on the drivers side has been holding just fine so I'm expecting the passenger side to hold up just as well

                          Nice Chris..give a kid a welder for Christmas and look what happens. I should have saved those rear towers from the 323 I just cut up.
