        Damn!

        "compacity"

        A perfect word for these cars - thanks!
        I have fetched a new used gas furnace for my house - 7 ft tall, and a new hot water heater (different trip) in the 323. And 12 wheels with rubber once, 8 being fat 225-15. All with the hatch closed.
        Pro brought home 8 Miata wheels with rubber, BP head, G box, My daughter and me and all our trip stuff.
        And on Saturday, all the stuff I bought from bluesting - blower setup, BP engine complete, 2 G box, Spindles/hubs/calipers, axles, misc boxes of stuff, all the old tires and blocking I took to pack this crap, and a cooler to keep me alive = 32.9mpg @ 75+ for 500 miles. But, now I can't figure out how to get the BP out of the trunk!

          Glad someone picked up that setup! It's been all over now. Keep me posted on what you do with it.

            Leave it there. Just make it drive the rear axle and you'll be set.

              Awesome you bought the Protégé back, Jack! Looking forward to some updates in the work log.

              As for me, I finally picked up new hatch struts today, they haven't worked since I owned the car, and I kept forgetting to order them. I may park it for a while, as I got the 626 plated today, and the Familia needs some work. I have a buddy coming to buy the Rotas this week, so I can finally get some decent wheels on it too.

                  ahhhh i took it out for a drive and man dont it feel good to rip on it passing people then having them meet you at the next light. One lady had asked me if I had a turbo on it, i said yes and she told me i need to turn the boost down!! haha
                  Anyone knows what 9K rpm feels like? I do

                    Nah, I really want those 15" oz rally wheels, or something like that. The only things I'm certain of are 15", and legit.

                      yea OZs would be nice. i would consider sprint hart cp-r also, a little easier to find.

                        Forget the OZ rally. You should look into the Enkei RC-G4.

                          I'm on the fence about the chrome lips on the sprints, and I don't think the Enkies come in 4x100.

                                durwood, I think Enkei RPF1's with the SBC finish would look awesome on the familia.
