[MazKid]

what a douche!!! to make such a mistake like that WTH

Hah, yeah I know. He checked our emails and saw his mistake. I'm glad he didn't hassle me over it though.

Why? All it took was 1 call and it's on its way. Simple mistake...you know, sometimes you just unbolt the tranny and take the axles out by accident. lol

Well my new spark plug wires came intoday.... they weren't properly asembled @ first so i finally started tooling around with them. the sleeves needed to be recessed into the silicone boots & were not. (must of been put together on a monday)

Its raining out right now so there is no installed picture Yet...

I swapped my left steering knuckle (4wd) for the one that came with the front clip because my wheel bearing went bad. While I was in there I put on some new tie rod ends.

I noticed afterward a huge improvement in handling, braking, noise level.

Damen hot Idea....

Turpro suggested I do this to my Lx Protege, I think I will.

Hey, I changed my LX bucket seats to 91.5 Cayman Gray Bucket with my old Heads on the seats. Man what a difference too!

I shampoo them and touched up the paint on the feetsies!

The seat bottoms springs were boinked on both seats! so go figure why they road like itting on rolls of mashed TP!

Damned Ryan bp323, what are you dong to your FLUX Capasiter Now!
You going to the next warp year!
Yea, I'm jailous cause I didn't get to ride in the little beast in WI.

So today I finished prpping and painting my other 2 winter wheels.
For those who ask what kind of stripping agent I used: Klean Strip Aircraft stripper. Purchased at a local auto paint supplier.
Paint used: VHT high temp primer PT. # SP-305 and VHT high temp wheel paint PT. # SP-183.
For those who ask what size and kind of tires. Toyo Observe M&S studless tires size 205/50/15. These tires are manufactured with crushed walnut shells in the tread.

Went to my brother's shop and unwrapped the BPT.




He also sent me to St. Joseph, Illinois(like 200 miles outside of St. Louis) to pick up some Mazda 6 wheels(he paid me to go) so I did this a few times along the way.

Little 323 holding up ok at 100?

[TurboProto]

Clean motor!

Hah, yeah it's solid as a rock. It gets a little drafty though...I actually got up to 105 on the way home. The wind starts coming through the top of the windshield at that speed, haha.

I actually got 29.6mpg heading east and 28mpg heading west on the trip. That was driving 75-85 with a few quick sprints up towards/past 100. I'm thrilled with it!

Yep the engine looks good but it's filthy. I thought they'd powerwash it before shipping it out but nope. I'll do it though.

[diflictedminds]

wow. impressed.

[Tazman2]

Matched up the ebrake tension on the 93 today as the replacement caliper they sent me is clearly not the same kind that i had as i had another issue before this with it as well but needed to get it done sooooooo. And i drove her out of the car and shes filthy from all the crap around that ****ty ass garage and the 95 went in for some work starting tomorrow!

[therieldeal]

i popped my passenger side axle out and refilled the inner cv with grease... also cleaned all the grease out of my engine bay that blew out at the track. i used some RTV to seal the boot back on as the gasket was destroyed.

does anyone else's passenger side inner CV cup have the ability to "wobble" a bit if you grab it and rock it up and down or foreward and back? mine does, not sure if its a problem.

[TRRC]

Back again

Well, I'm back for another go-round. Just bought an Escort Wagon. Stay tuned, as the front end needs some body work...
