looking good man.

[FE3-323]

park it for a few months eh...

[Turpro]

About that text you sent.... thanks for the info

[MD323]

so finally assembled the 323, no start, no spark.

also i dropped the mx3 cluster into the 323 harness and the CEL comes on with the parking lights. going to have to figure that on out. as of now though it will sit for a few months while i do other life stuff, last two shot of the 323 for now.

[DeeAOne]

why would you come this far to just let it sit? its probably something small thats easily fixable. you put it all together and expected it to start up and run like it came from the factory? thats the whole thing about swaps man, its not always perfect at first. now i guess if something more important in your life is going on then i understand but if not,

take off that cover and get it running!

[MD323]

i have 6 swaps under my belt man, I know they dont always start

I know its the dissy, but i am leaving to goto baltimore for 2 weeks thrusday and im alittle burnt out from working 60 hours a week and maintaining 3 car fulltime.

the car will sit because i need to catch up on the rest of my life, and i want to wait till i can work on it for fun again, instead of this forced march sort of pace i have been keeping

[DeeAOne]

ahh, i see. well do your thing man. you got farther than i have so i cant say much. lol

[Turpro]

If I knew I could grab a disty with the motor I was getting I'd throw you this mx3 1 as I know it runs


BTW I found that part in my swap parts box so thanks for looking but don't need it anymore

[M323GTR]

that sucks that the damn thing wouldnt start but hopfully you get rumblin at the track sooner then you think

[Mazda_Powered]

ahh well, cars do take up too much time sometimes man. I don't think there's to many people who do a swap like this and have it started the first few tries. Give it some time then go back to it with a clear mind!

[323Foreword]

Where did you get the extra radiator cap with tube?

[FE3-323]

good eye^ i missed that do tell us shawn. whats the story there

[MD323]

That's the pressure cap, moroso make them. My setup with the neon rad I don't have a pressure cap, just a fill cap. So I had to add one.

By no means am I giving up, I just set a deadline of saturday night to make it run, it didn't and now I'm stopping for awhile so I can go up north, then come back and work out my financial plans for the future. This year I will be 26 in april, I'm getting old and its time to sort that **** out. Projects can be done over time slowly, that's the fun part of owning 3 cars

[Ace]

I know for one I can't wait till you get this thing done. Hopefully by flyrtle next year? its going to be in tampa right?

[MD323]

yeah it will be done waaay before flyrtle, and yeah its in tampa this year.
