hope this helps:

thanks for that! I got it in good. I'm going to have to figure out a way to stabalize the front so it doesnt slide in and out, but I never thought to get the metal thing from the tape player and put it on the cd player to go into the rubber thing

Painted the valve cover yesterday..

I ruined my oil cap, it caught wind of the paint :D
I'm going to paint the face of the lettering black when I get the paint.

The air tube on the right side cracked when I put it back on :D

I have got to think of something to do with that bumper, the fading looks horrid.

I am trying to save up now to have all the body damaged fixed and to have the car repainted. I honestly think I want to keep it red.. Though I have always liked black, blue , or silver proteges, I just don't know :D

Here are some pics.. I haven't got the spark plug wire mounts put back on yet, I lost all my screws in the grass lol

good job....

those plug wires look pulled pretty tight... I would reccomend letting them have a little slack.

[lscrx]

looks good, get some Aircraft Paint Remover (AutoZone) and spray down your oil-cap (not while screwed into valve cover)... the overspray should come right off.

I just thought about something.. Isn't there supposed to be a valve cover gasket? (didnt see one lol)

Well I've decided to go with a DOHC swap Being the noob I am with cars, and the limited space I have, I am setting this out as a summer project.

After the engine swap, I'm going to buy this kit..

(excuse the crappy photochop)

Yes yes. Then I am going to get the interior done.. Nothing major, but needs new carpet severely.

By the way, the spark plug wires are just short

[txkprotege]

lol, cablemirc those days are behind me.

I didn't even have a job then, don't know what I was even doing here.

So I made this account and was hoping to start over.. Hope you don't mind.

[D323]

ah ok. Oh and look online at places like oemcarpets.com (cant remember the exact website)

Before I found oem carpet replacements for like 100 bux in an array of oem and aftermarket colors.

the past is the past. glad to see you still have the pro. now let's see what you can do with it.

ah sheezy daves getting mushy

[D323]

dave started with a DX. and look how far he took it. He's probably eager to see another Blazda red DX do the same

[txkprotege]

Nah I could never top dave

All of this valentines day talk really got me in the mood to go tell my baby how much I love her. <3


LOL I know that fram sucks. I had ten dollars to spend on the stuff, and I came out to $9.58

Hopefully my lawyer will haul ass to get me my settlement from this company (long ass story), and then I can have a grand to work with

I get paid on the 23rd, 230 dollars, and should pick up a little here and there. Then I'm going to find a DOHC engine if it kills me!

[D323]

just dont post pics of you getting any from teh car and we should be ok.

[txkprotege]

lol yeah that did sound weird when I re-read it. *edits out* lol

[silver03p5]
