u gonna go with the gt side skirts?

gt bumper is perfect on there.... whats the plan body work wise? are u gonna fill in the lines on the front bumper?

[ryan1]

The front end looks awesome!!...

you should try the Shorty Rear bumper mod to make it look Sick! (requires loosing that rear bumper support though)

New emergency brake cables installed. Rear sway bar installed.


Got the rear disc working again.


New tie rod ends installed.


Same story for the driver's side (this was the failed side).


Swapped in some new plugs. Out with the old.


All buttoned up.


Also wired and installed a new horn to replace the screwed up old one. Works great.


After all the work today, I decided to take it for a test drive in the day light. Camera mounted to something stable this time for better video.

Enjoy the small clip.

LOL!!..AWESOME VIDEO!...man this build is great

[Devl323]

Awesome awesome awesome! Man its too cool that you are able to (and willing) to keep such great shots coming and the text is short, sweet and to the point..
7 stars from me!

It does look good. Im very impressed. Cant wait till I can tear into my car!

DITTO THAT!!!!! OMG as soon as my divorce is over and the lawyer is paid, my g/f and i will definitely be giving the 323 some muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch needed attention.....



Oh and Spen, tight work on the PS!!!!! love the look with those rims

[goodorange]

still liking the exhaust? it's sounding metallic and raspy, definately hear the bp though

[smoke187]

not sure i like the escort gt bumper nice job anyway

[Sockington]

I only did one thing today with the car:


Drove it home.

Actually, that's a lie. First, I had to get a temp permit. Next, top up the tranny fluid, oil, and coolant. New tires installed on the MR2 rims.

Everything was going great up until about 2minutes from home. After a small pitstop, the front driver's caliper stuck on (guessing) and seems to be screwed. It's going in for a safety tomorrow morning, so if I need a new one I'll just slap it on then.

Damn near done.

The EGT bumper looks right at home there.
