looks good....i might see about picking a surround up at a junk yard and trying my skills at that....i really wanna couple gauges to see what is going on

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Brand new gauge surround is like 25 bucks from onlinemazdaparts. That's where I got mine when I made my gauge pod like the one he's making.

 

[bgibb68]

well poo....but if i could get one for like 10 and have it that day.....plus if i screw it up....who cares

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Yea that's true.

Oh and I have a couple of things I will be doing tomorrow. Stay tuned

gawd i wish i did other than work.....i still need to go back to the salvage yard....found a 626 mani to pull for 50....woot....and a couple things for my truck.....and my calipers are finally on their way but won't be here till thurs the earliest and god only knows what's going on with my brake lines from PG.....and i got charged 20 bucks for shipping on paypal and ken still hasn't replied back or fixed it....and that was sat

Do yourself a favor and find a stock mani instead. Remove the VTCS, do a mild port and polish with the dremel (how-to in the how-to section) and it'll be a lot better for you. I've learned that the 626 is not all it's cracked up to be. ESPECIALLY for NA proteges.

or buy one already done. . . . . . *shameless plug*

 

[fishdonotbounce]

done and done......hey for 50 i'll give it a whirl and hold on to it.....it i don't like it...than i'll put the stocker back on.....right now i'm making the car able to stop better...that way in the future i can make it go faster....planning on doing a rebuild this winter(fingers crossed) and possibly taking it fi.....but than again....i may just make my truck go fast with a 318, 5spd and a high speed rear

 

[fishdonotbounce]

SOunds good. Do the VTCS removal and P&P while the 626 mani is on the car. I guarantee you'll wanna put it back on.

 

[mx-p5]

i'll be pulling it this weekend, then, prob selling it for $100 plus shipping
