you just need an alignment after wards. For parts, you'd just need, 92-94 MX3 GS (so V6 equipt) front lower control arms with balljoints (there was a changeover mid 93 so grab the used balljoints to find out which is which), then you just need the TTLs of the rear spindle, its the 2 arms that go from the spindle to the subframe....but you only technically need the one with the adjustability it in.
Grab the rear tie bar while you're at it
I'm actually trying this on my 323 TRRC. Ryan told me the front sway bar attaches but the endlinks are angled, so im going to try and re-tap the mx3 LCAs endlink hole with the protege/323 LCA endlink hole.
As for the rear, Ryans using heim joints, but im going to try and use regular endlinks, i'm not a big fan of heim joints, it'd rather Energy Suspension bushings.
Also dude, 97+ escort front sway bar is 1", and 91-96 escort wagon rear sway bar is 7/8".
Good luck with the car! Looks nice, i love the pinstripping, reminds me of my Protege GT.
JACK.

I probably won't mess with the widening, but I am looking for those sway bars. And yeah, I turned some serious profit. The buyer made me an offer I couldn't refuse.
Here are some future plans:
Fogs recessed in bumper opening, Slim aux. lights under rear bumper for extra backup lights, 97+ escort front sway bar, 91-96 escort wagon rear sway bar, Civic Si (the red stitched ones) front seats, rears and door panels upholstered to match, Pioneer CD/MP3 etc. headunit, three way speakers all around, MP% steering wheel, Razo shift knob, Razo pedal covers, MX3 leather shift boot, custom made strut bars, custom side skirts and rear lip, glass or carbon fiber sunroof, custom gauge cluster, painted valve cover, and exhaust heat shield, intake, exhaust, 15x6.5 Rota Auto-X with Azenis RT-615s, and... I guess that's it for now. I might (probably) not do all this, but these are my plans for now. This car will be track, show and strip worthy. Next is my exhaust, and then probably nothing for a little while, since I just bought another car.
What, you may ask? Try an '89 Turbo Supra, with eighteens that runs 8.80s in the eighth.

I still havn't deciced yet. Either
1: buying a j/y motor, rebulding it and running like a 75 shot of Nitrous, for daily drivability with the extra punch when needed
2: Swapping a BPT, but I'd probably need some trans work too,
3: Doing nothing and buying a Familia. AWD, turbo, 5spd, RHD.
1:Moderate
2: slightly more expensive
3: several grand
Still unsure. We'll have to see what I can get for this Supra first.

Unless you upgrade from the little VJ-20, you won't have to worry about your tranny. Just get a better clutch.

Option 3, get a Familia imported. That would be awesome and orignal. That's what I hope to have within 4-5 years.Create your own VB Gallery here.

I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.
