from the looks of it all youd need isgetready wrote:yeah i thought the same thing, lets just fix the accord. We went and got an estimate, the estimate was 3-4 times the amount the car is worth, we're like...no, i think we'll just fix it ourselves. So then about a week later, i'm driving, and all the sudden i cant shift, and all these terrible grinding noises start coming from my transmission, so i pull over, get her towed home. Then my insurance tows it somewhere else, thats the last i saw of her![]()
They totaled the accord, without giving us the option of keeping it/buying it back, which i personally think it just crazy. Its my car.
So yeah, i totally agree, i would have kept the accord, until my transmission sealed the deal.
i was reading on wikipedia that our cars actually DO have 4ws..sorta:getready wrote:Has anyone converted to 4ws, or awd? How hard would it be? What cars did you pull the assembly from?
1. Most of them, i believe the stroker kit will workgetready wrote:Ok so after tons of studying and scouring this site and others, i think i have a general idea for what i want to do, but i want you guys with mazda knowledge to look it over first.
i've sourced an engine at a local yard for rebuild. Its a 1993 escort gt with 50K miles on the engine.
My questions (if they're stupid, bear with me)
1. Will the miata bp's parts transfer right over to the escort?
--if so, will the miata stroker kit work for this engine?
2.Best transmission for this swap?
3.Best ecu, and best tuning software for mazda?
4.Could a better cylinder head be fitted on this block, or would it just be a waste of money?
5.I plan on converting to RWD when i'm in chassis fab (right now i'm still in engine theory), can i still convert to RWD with this engine, or is that only achievable with an mx5 engine?
There are probably more, thats just the ones off the top of my head. Thanks for any help or advice, i greatly appreciate it!
