Eh that might of been the 80mph rpm to be honest. I remember I was annoyed as hell on my 85mph 90+decible trip up the eastern sea board this summer though.

Got around and replaced the driver side outer tie rod end on the daily. It drives a lot better now. Also changed the oil to standard 10w30 in the hopes the oil consumption will stop. Then last night changed the rear brake pads. I plan to get it aligned today.
I still can't figure out what the idle problem is. I've changed the intake couplers with silicone and T-clamps. I need to do a pressure test I guess but don't have the proper equipment.1991 Protege LX with GTX swap, DD1990 4WD Protege with GTX swap, Project/garage decoration2006 Mazda 3 with 2.3, Her car1980 Ford F100 Short bed with 300ci 6 cylinder, work truck/home for moss

Looks like I found details I needed. M20x1.5? So, now to track down the adapter.... sweet
I also got a fumoto valve. Figured id give it a go. However, the bend is too mm uch that it cant be Installed without kodding the oil pan. Nope, not what I plan to do. Back to old school plug.1992 Ultra Blue Metallic EGT - The 'scort with no name - crap>reliable daily>rallycross prep>stage rally

This morning i looked under the hood and pondered very hard about what it'd take to stuff an E154F in there.Escort GTR -- 11.87 @ 117.6 mph -- 320 HP / 325 Ft. Lbs. @ 23 PSI

The more i look at it the less i think the steering rack actually has to be moved though.
I guess Brandon has one of these transmissions lying around, I'm hoping he'll let me borrow it this spring so i can try test fitting it while the car is apart. I'm not ready to break out the sawzall yet but i would like to test fit some stuff and start collecting parts if i decide it's feasible...Escort GTR -- 11.87 @ 117.6 mph -- 320 HP / 325 Ft.

I think he had to shave the transfer case and it still didn't really fit or some **** like that, idk
we were going to put it in the wagon and then didn't bother because all that power through a garbage G-series is way funniersigpic

Yeah the transfer case and oil pan do have to be modified to allow the BP to bolt up, not terribly worried about that right meow.
What i want to do is just test fit the transmission into my car with no motor attached. My 3 existing trans mounts will bolt to the AWD trans, then i can raise it up into place and see how much clearancing will have to be done.Escort GTR -- 11.87 @ 117.6 mph -- 320 HP / 325 Ft. Lbs. @ 23 PSI

Got the car in the garage, and prepping for some work. Managed to do this to the Kia VC a few weeks ago. figured i'd Powder coat it and be the 1 aesthetic thing.. but... unless the money is there, it won't happen.. just a waste right now.
