Replaced the spark plugs, air filter, and PCV valve & grommet today. The electrodes on the plugs were almost gone and the air filter was plugged with leaves, dirt, and pieces of grass. My 323 runs a helluva lot better now. The other day it wasn't even able to break 70 mph. I can't wait to see how it feels when I replace the wires, dizzy cap & rotor, and fuel filter this weekend.

i finally stripped the stock tranny from my 95 last night...
both spider gears were missing most of their teeth... one side gear was in ok shape, the other looked ok at first but i noticed major cracks starting on three of the teeth.
everything else seemed just fine oddly enough. looks like the magnet caught all the broken pieces. the car still drove just fine... just had a nasty vibration while turning right under power. i figured it had something to do with either the diff gears or a diff bearing.Escort GTR -- 11.87 @ 117.6 mph -- 320 HP / 325 Ft.

I put it in her bum bumI live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

Now she's boosting up to 12psi and popping How am I boosting so high with no boost controller? Does cold weather do that? I'll be working on her some this weekend(need to buy space heater first).
Also my brake light comes on when I put it in boost hard. What causes that? When I swaped out theintake manifolds(just swapped a n/a one for a n/a one) I took the hose that goes on the pass side intake manni and goes to the hard line to the brake booster off. It popped. Did I fk that line up by taking it off? Could that be why my brake light comes on in boost? Do I need a new line?Last edited by Turpro; 01-16-2009, 04:51 AM.1993 Protege LX-Midnight's shadow SOLD

that rubber line has a check valve in it. if you managed to damage it then your brake booster could be seeing boost... i could see this screwing with your brake fluid level. either that or maybe your brake fluid is low and the G-force of accelerating is moving the fluid in the canister and making the light come on.
but yes, cold weather = denser air = more boostEscort GTR -- 11.87 @ 117.6 mph -- 320 HP / 325 Ft. Lbs. @ 23 PSI
