solospeed, what's the name of that accord/kit in your sig again?

nope. I'm not going to have enough power to make it worthwhile. But I am going to think about putting the msp gears (or at least the P5 gears) in my GTX for better gearing on the highway and maybe in the dirt too - I'm gonna have my clutch out in the next 6 months anyhow so might as well do it...

Hmm. OK, then I stand corrected. Still, if the 626 5th gear fits into either the GT or GTX transmission (not contesting/commenting on the strength of the gears), and you're pulling 3rd, 4th, and 5th from the GTX into a 3rd gen Pro, then the 626 5th will also fit in the 3rd gen. right? I'm just...

GT and GTX trannies both work for this swap - many many guys on the 323 board with GTXs have done it. (www.mazda323performance.com) I think the "how-to" was just done on the GT. Both cars came with the B6T motor and the same transmission.

If the 5th from the GTX works, then the 5th from a 88-92 626 will also work (see here: http://rxtrme7.aaph.com/gtx/gears.html) and might might make it a longer gear for street driving. I plan on doing this swap on my GTX to drop the rpm on the highway. NOt sure how the different final drive will...

those ratios are for teh 88/89 BF chassis. the 1990+ runs different gears - that's the 4wd that wasn't sold in N.A. I"m still unclear whether it's the BF of BG chassis gears that fit properly?

Did you expect it to feel like stock? If so, you didn't think too hard about it. Of course it's going to vibrate more than stock. Give it 5000 miles and it'll be all broken in. It's the price you pay for performance.

my msp was an impulse buy. I already had a downpayment on a BMW 318i w/ sportpackage when I drove the msp. I put a deposit and drove back to BMW to cancel the deal. I figure I'll have her for 10 years or more. Maybe for good. Every car I've been through (a LOT) I always wished I'd kept for one...

one last Q from the noob - this is the BF chassis GTX right, not the BG?

noob Q here: gtx = 323 gtx? and you're putting them in what tranny?

looks like a crossfire. Like it. a lot!

I'd argue that the exhaust loses velocity BECAUSE it's in the same sized, or larger pipe and has cooled. Which means, if you're within the optimal exhast velocity range for the specific motor, then it shouldn't matter that you're decreasing pipe diameter as long as you don't force an increase in...

I suspect why some guys are having trouble with bending/breaking downpipes is that the midpipe is not secured to the tranny. When I first put on my Vibrant, the bracket was there for it but the bracket to attach it wasn't moved over. I had one built so I didn't crack the exhaust manifold. If you...

Diggler, yeah still have it. I just got it in August, 180,000km on it, prob the most fun car I've every owned, for different reasons than the MSP is fun. Needed an exhaust so I had one custom done. no drone. It's beautiful & understated, but still growls when you're on it. Check out my website...

.. the other reason might drone more is because I have the AWR MT motor mounts from and rear - it transmits much more noise into the cabin than stock or softer mounts - you might be OK with the 3" vibrant. sorry, just thought about that...

I have the 3" vibrant (stock downpipe). I drive a LOT on the highway... I've switched out the 3" muffler for a 3" magnaflow that's not quite straight through, sort of an S with better baffling. If you drive a lot on the highway, you might get tired of the 3" straight through drone. If you're...

well the web page isn't loading for me. But if the pic posted by 03MzdSpdSTP is the concept, I'm really liking it. I like the mean retro stuff. Not the pussy PT cruiser kind of stuff... That and the Challenger would both be in my list of choices if I was looking.

too bad it's an '86. from what I understand a BPT will bolt into the '88s and '89s just fine. Cool though, I like old beaters- tons of fun 'cause you just don't care! I was gonna get an old truck as a winter beater, but ended up with an 88 GTX instead :)

1 word. Barf.

yup, that's the one! thanks!
