Hi all, ive stumbled across this site and wanted to say hi.Im usually on clubprotege.com,feoa.net,etc but somehow ive missed this site till now.I drive a 95 escort lx.I just finished my v6 swap and some other minor mods.Im planning on being boosted before the end of winter/early spring.Ive owned a few mazdas in the past but they are very pricey around here at the moment.I might also be acquiring my buddies 88 323 gtx, so ill be a mazda owner once again. (glare)

(hi) Welcome to Mazda Forums! Interesting swap (thumb)

What sort of power is your V6 putting out at this point?

PS...Don't pass on your buddies GTX!

the motor is rated at 168ish bhp, so im probably pushing about 150whp with the exhaust.Ive raced a few cars so far and from what i gathered, im looking around mid to high 14s on street tires.Its hard to say since 1st and 2nd gear are useless (burnout)

Get lost. You're not wanted here you Ford loving scank! Wait a minute. I own a 99 Mercury Tracer, That is a Ford Escort. I also owned a 98 Ford Escort Wagon and a 91 Ford Escort LX. I also own a ZX2, that I'm selling. That's on top of the four Proteges I've owned. Oh, and I'm also on FEOA.NET. In that case, welcome. .........
