What did you do to your BG(part 8)

[me109]

Went to a rallycross on saturday.

[me109]

Corrected factory backward AC fan polarity and added one can of R134a. Compressor is silent now and cabin gets cold at idle.

I've run into this before. Anybody else noticed AC fan is a puller mounted on the front of the condenser on 90-91 models? Just moves hot air around in a circle. Both fans should work more effeciently now.

seriously??? i wonder if thats a fluke wiring scenario... how odd. nice mod though!!

[me109]

My gray car was the same way. Early examples seem to have a different bulkier AC fan than the later ones. And both of mine have been wired backwards. I don't know.

Installed MX-3 GS rear lower tie bar. 40 minutes including setup and cleanup. Must have done something wrong to have it that easy...

Just ordered some Ksports. Never bought coilovers before. I'm excited!

What resonator did you find?

What sets and how long ago?

[tinyestmantis]

Nice and clean. My exhaust rattles my sanity to shreds on long journeys. And my neighbors hate me. But it is what it is for now. Really nice bead tho

What sets and how long ago?

the kontrol pro or whatever- bought a set for my gtr wagon in the initial group buy, the fronts blew out after a year or so and started leaking fluid. bought another set a year or so later for my zx2 and they were starting to leak when the car was totaled.

i haven't owned a bg in five years so maybe they've fixed the problems since then?

We'll see. I got the asphalt rally ones. Maybe the inverted monotubes are better. I'll post updates here.

Found a shockingly clean 94 EGT in my local Pull-A-Part. Took its seats and door cards. Got the seats installed last night.

It's automatic, but still has a fairly complete looking BP in it. In eastern Tennessee.

Couple cars down was an 01 ZX-2 that looked to be in great condition. I took its front lower tie bar, and didn't see anything else missing... I think both cars even still had all their wheels.

[me109]

Changed an axle. That resulted in a gear oil leak, so I pulled it out and changed the seal. That resulted in a much worse leak. Went from dripping to pouring.

So I'm in the market for a Kia G-series as soon as I can get one.

Edit:
So I think I solved it. The seal is probably good and fine, but the axle popped out of the diff. It still gets driven, but all the oil pisses out real quick. Stupid circlip retainer. Either they weld themselves in forever, or they don't work at all...

[me109]

Well. Just like that it's over.
