WilyB's 93 GT rebuild

[Turpro]

I'm taking it that you would have black calipers?

No. Mine are ricer red for now(done by previous owner). When I start the brake work they will be going silver.

Mellow Yellow

Actually, the yellow is not as bright as what the pics show. I appreciate the negative comment on the yellow, but frankly it looks pretty good nonetheless. The people who have seen have liked it, albeit the BG fans voice the most displeasure... but WTF...

I have a set of 16" Montegi's that need to be painted before being installed...

today I'll change the stud bolt and secure the front pipe to the rest of the exhaust.

great rebuild wilyB, i know what is to fight rust, but you are doing pretty well

keep the great work, i want to see the BG on it's wheels

[Wilyb]

replaced stud bolt.

Lucky for me it was easy... I had enough thread sticking out to be able to grab it with small visegrips. Heated up around the bolt, (thank you god for oxy-acetylene) and twisted it out... Woohoo!

Cowl grill

Removed the cowl grill, removed all rust and corrosion, repainted under the windshield and around the intake chamber for the heater blower motor. Found a lot of junk back there... leaves and sh**t...

There was a warp on the cowling, tried to bend it back in shape and broke it...sucks...I'll replace it with the one from the 95 DX...

Windshield gets installed Tuesday, 200 bucks installed at the house...You can see the crack... that's what they failed me on at the inspection station.

[miK3Pro]

your pro is looking good..

[MazdaNoob]

200 installed ... from where ?

and did you need an emissions test? if so scan the results

[superscort93]

No. Mine are ricer red for now(done by previous owner). When I start the brake work they will be going silver.

Ohhh..that's going to be pretty, and give some kid obsessed with the F&F movies a epileptic seizure while you are clipping down the highway.


I paid $200 for a front glass installed a LONG time ago, when I was 16, at a place called Weathers Auto Glass. I don't think that is a chain store. x.x

[Wilyb]

No emission test

MazdaNoob - We don't need to pass emission in Quebec...although I'm sure my car would pass now... the filler neck and my evap lines were replaced (Brand New)... everything is " toight like a tigah"...

I called a guy who does mobile windshield replacement...I was pleasantly surprised when I was told 200 bucks...Probably won't have the 10 CM tint on top though...Lebeau quoted 600, another outfit quoted 260,then one at 205...

more goodies

Sold my Honda Accord H22 for $xxxx.00, a Vf12 turbo, downpipe and manifold... Now I have a winter project.

Changed the front stabilizer end links on it today, tried to find where the slight odor of gas is coming from, but I can't find any leaks...

[323 GT-R]

Where do you live in Ottawa? I'd like to see this Pro GT

[IMACHU2]

i found the same problem with my 323. had the same hole in the rear suspension tower. lucky me i had the one from the escort but the wall its busted too. will have to fabricate something damn Canadian winter!!!

I thought that hole in the shock tower was a Canadian factory option. all three of my 323s have it.

I thought that hole in the shock tower was a Canadian factory option. all three of my 323s have it.

lol its more like a canadian rust option. its a bad design that for sure but nothing can be fix with a welder.

[Wilyb]
