Do you know if the spindle from probe is the same with 323f ba?
As far as i know it's the same with mx6 and 626..
Thanks.

The BA V6 spindle is direct plug and play with our strut, wheel bearing, ball joint and tie rod end. The probe unit is not the same but looking at the picture there, it seems very close. The wheel bearing is definitely not the same so you would not be able to put your stock 4 lug hubs in it. I don't know what type of suspension set up they use out back but I don't think the Gen 1 probe rears would work. I'm not sure what guys are doing domestically to complete the 5 lug swap.

I have not gotten into the rear yet but from what I hear it does take some work..... Honestly tho, I think I will do 5 lugs in the front and 4 in the rear just because the rim offset options are more ideal for me to do it that way. :shrug:

I'm probably going to do a 5 lug all around, the a-- end of it is say goodbye to stock rims forever :(

You could also choose to get the 323f V6 rears

Just the 5 log nuts instead of the entire unit.

I like how you painted the dome light - cool idea. What year probe? I've been thinking about sourcing some black visors. And what do you mean by "real deal" black visor clips? What car are they out of?

Any 2nd gen probe (93-97) visor has the same mount as the mx3. I simply broke the probe dome light end tabs off.... back in the visor so that it looks correct.

The dome light "glass" is back painted. I had to mask off the lense portion and then finish the job with a sharpie to make it look perfect.

Rx7 fc's come with black visor clips...... (be aware that there are different styles, all of which bolt in from the fc.) The GTX and convertibles are you best bet at finding the visor clips...........Note that the fc visors do not work as they are too wide......even tho they bolt in.

I painted the pcs with flat black paint first and then used a flack black plastic dip that actually ends up as more of a satin look.....It's a perfect finish. I'm just curious how it will take armorall.

good call on painting it black first, in case it ever peels it won't look horrible.
where's the roof sitting at in terms of progress? just waiting for paint?

I like the black against the orange. If this was all orange it would look like a big tangerine. Epic build dude, one of the best on here.
