What did you do to your BF today???

[FamiliaGT]

I considered getting that but thank god I didnt since I would be shooting myself in the foot, and heres why.

Last night I was up till 1AM installing my Freshly Rebuilt turbo I just recieved to replace my blown one. I get it in and take it around the block after the appropriate priming, installing, etc. and notice a scarry whine. It wasnt loud, but it was there. I went over to CS and had Derrick test it out. After he took me for a spin in his car, it was somewhat normal of a sound, just louder then usual. I start to pull out of the parking lot, when all the sudden, my turbo just starts screaming very, very loudly. I take it back, and everything pointed at the turbo for sure. So now, after spending about $100 on gaskets and hoses, I have to take it all back off, to send it back!!!!!

Words can not describe what Im feeling right now.

Sounds like the people that rebuilt your turbo didnt balance the shaft with the wheels on it. My friend ran into a problem trying to find a replacement turbo or even someone to rebuild it. Well the cheapest rebuild was 350 and there were no other turbos in sight. So the solution was going custom with a T3 setup. His cousin welded a t3 flange onto the stock mani and an external wastegate on the stock o2 hole. So far the car likes it with no problem spooling the turbo. Now he is thinking of selling the car.

I got lucky and bought a JDM cluster. I found it on ebay and the guy has another one. The 1 I bought I have never seen it. It has white numbers and lights up in green. I cant wait to get it this week hopefully. Here's a pic

That's odd, but '80s Mazdas should light up orange, there's a law somewhere. lol

My dad aimed the 323's headlights with his Hoppy aimer kit, super cool...they were way off because I just visually aimed them after putting the brand new housings in a while back.

Detailed, added a floor mat holder to the passenger side(noticed that whenever I have a passenger in the car the floor mat slides up, the driver's side did that so I added one for that a long time ago), and used this new Bumper Magic product that we got at work. Works great, my bumpers, mudflaps, and trim bits are black again and it's better than just tire shine that I used before.

changed spark plugs and wires. changed oil and filter and it's alive again!

My friend found a 323 wagon with power windows and doors. He called me and told me so I went and got it all. I checked them all yesterday and they all work. I hope to have it all in by this weekend. The cluster is in and it is bad ass. It also fixed my heating problem. The digital cluster was out of wack and needs to be calibrated. I also ordered a new vac advance. I found this website that had it for 23.00 plus 7.00 shipping so I paid 30 for it brand new. I checked local auto parts stores near me and they wanted 80 for it. Rockauto.com is the site and they have some cheap stuff.

I also drove my BF to Brookville, In. Monday for some EGT parts.
After I had the exaust leak repaired. it's nice to have quiet in the long ride.

I drove an hour to talk to a guy about buying his "parts" car from him....he ended up being Rod Millens old co driver in the GTX, awesome guy.

Later today I'm going back to the shop to get back on some rust repair.
