What did you do to your BG(part 8)

[Mikey27]

suspension in this stupid thing is killing me. with my roommates in the car and a trunk full of groceries, I'm getting a sort of banging noise from the right rear on bumps. it's definitely a different noise than the K-Sport clunk (which I'm pretty sure is the force of bumps being transferred sideways through the TTLs), this sounds almost like a broken spring or something. gonna have to put it in the air before work tomorrow, so annoyed about this.

Taken a look at you sway bar endlinks and D bushings lately?

And of course upper strut mounts like to rust out pretty bad.

D bushings and endlinks were replaced when I put the 19mm bar in a few months ago. when I pulled the K-Sports for the winter the car got brand new strut assemblies, and I made sure to check the insides of the strut towers while everything was out- only a little surface rust that got scuffed and sprayed with Rustoleum.

Any one have a 3 hole bumper they want to sell/trade me? PM a bish.

Sorry to hear that, man. I hope you're mostly recovered by now.

Post some pictures of the car and a highlights list of mods and see how the interest lines up for partout or sale as-is. It may be appropriate to list it as a partout, but with notice that anyone who wants it whole will be given priority. You'd have to read back through the FS rules to be sure.

thanks man, I will suffer from the pain for the rest of my life(car loss and back) but oh well family owned car since day one and driven by me for 10yrs. I will take your advice and in the next couple days post some pics and see where it goes from there.

other than that life continues!

dam, the last ive read on this thread is somewhere on page 170... hell na i am not going to read all that. just tell me what happened since guys

Since I was on here last, I got this beast... and cannibalized the 323 for it.

[Boosted Escort]

looks good. you going to sell the 323?

[FE3-323]

whaaa the 323 tho....... needs love

[ThatGreenBG]

The 323 has been wrecked and neglected by more previous owners than I care to mention. I've even been rear-ended by a tow truck once in it with countless near misses. She was not loved and I can't afford to fix everything that was going bad all at once. I'm gonna try to sell it to an enthusiast, but if I can't it's going to be junked. The only good thing is the bare tub; the drivetrain and suspension are worthless junk. The Protege is a (basically) one-owner car that was maintained at the dealer with documents and reciepts by the original owner. It needs some small stuff here and there, but nothing major. I wish I could swap it all over to the 323, but I don't have the time, money, or desire to do that. I like my luxurious-by-comparison Protege and the fact that it's not a total turd of a fixer-upper like the 323.

Understandable! sometimes its time to just "let go"

[ThatGreenBG]

Nice upgrade. Bp powaaaaaa

BP powah indeed. The old girl still goes like the clappers. Perfect amount of power for me in a daily car. I have lots of fun with it.

[Chrisgtx]

[FE3-323]
