My 89' 323 GT Worklog

[tym2pla7]

sorry to thread jack but it was out of my 1988 323 gt then went in my escort

[Damkid]

^^yup exactly lol

I figure I'll run the B6T for a while then later upgrade to something different, whether it be a BPT, or 13B, I'm still undecided on the future plans lol

[DuRWooD]

We'll have to get together some time when it's going so I can check it out. I'd be up for a drive down there some weekend if you wanted a hand.

[Damkid]

Been working 12 hour shifts this week but got a couple hours on the car tonight and here's how far I got




And most of the parts are swapped over to the new B6T and it's almost ready to go back in, another night and I should have it running again



I gotta say, that was the first time in a very long time that I pulled a FWD motor without the tranny lol I just don't have a proper jack at the moment and didn't feel like pulling the axles lol

[Damkid]

Several months ago my floor jack died on me so tonight i picked these up, $130 for all 3, definitely much better then the scissor jack I've been stuck with lol

[Mazda_Powered]

yep, just bought some car ramps the other day myself, was getting so sick of the scissor jacks lol

[Damkid]

I still haven't had time to get back on the 323, i've been rediculously busy the passed week, hopefully soon i get some time on it though

[Damkid]

FINALLY got some time in the garage tonight, i managed to get the last remaining pieces from the old engine onto the new one




And this is how far i got tonight



I bascially need to connect all wires, fuel lines, drop the rad back in, and a few odds and ends here and there and it should be good to fire up, hopefully one more night of working on it and it'll be finished

[DuRWooD]

Looking good. Is that a Millenia supercharger I spy on the shelf?

[Damkid]

lol yup it is a milly SC, but it's the blown one that was pulled from the millenia before i got it, i didn't think it'd be any use to you for that reason, but if you want it to experiment re-building one, you can have it

[Mazda_Powered]

almost there man!!

[Damkid]

Got it fired up tonight it has a bit of a tick from the HLA's but i'm assuming that'll go away after a bit of driving

Woot!

[Mazda_Powered]

very nice!!!!

[Damkid]

ya it fired up first try, i almost surprised myself haha it still needs coolant in it (just haven't made it to pick some up) or else i would have gone for a short test drive tonight, but at least it moves under its own power again lol
