Took seats out and took all carpet out, course seats replaced after carpet took out.
. I hate all that gunk on the floor, I'll mess with it later lol.
Dash out, maybe Ill fix the wires later. Im gonna replace the cluster with aftermarket tach, temp, amp, fuel and oil psi gauges. No need for speedo, can tell speed good enough with tach.
(eww, see the nasty body damage) Took the hatch off, rear end is light as a feather lol. Fun on dirt roads
.The interior all around the rear is also strippted out including back seats, back seat belts, all carpet, all the plastic. The car is just a shell pretty much, all stereo equipment gone, automatic seat belts, etc..., etc... Only thing still there is headliner, door panels, and the thing around the e-brake cause I like the cupholder. Tho it is ackwerdly placed hehe.
Suitable replacement for the hatch hahaha, plus it flys in the wind while driving lol. See my nice custom frame reinforcement made of cheap bungie cords, lol j/k i know its useless, removed them later and used 2 of them to hold a box of jumper cables and tire changing stuff, and another to hold a jug of coolant. Since my radiator leaks a lil
lol.
Relocated Coolant Overflow Jug for intake piping. Held in place with good ol bungie cable, hehe. Maybe this move will come in handy when I get the bp. I will probally move it again later tho.
Theres the partially lightned up engine bay. Later I think I will remove all of the A/C stuff and the heating and cooling stuff all together, preferabelly after I obtain a BP and pull the B6 hehe. I was wondering if I keep my power steering and still loose A/C. Is there a smaller belt available? Would the B6 accessory belts work for the BP??? Just curious hehe.
Ok I'll finally get to a few questions.
First I just wanna clear up a few things. If im just getting the BP I use the BP motor mounts, correct. Or do I use the stock motor mounts? Will the stock P/S pump work or will I need to obtain one from the BP? What refreshment do you reccomend for a cheap BP install besides, degreese engine, do valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, change oil, plugs, wires, dist cap, rotor, and timingbelt? There might be some gaskets and seals im missing and a water pump, but im on a budget, hehe.
Ive found a BP, well actually a few from proteges (90-94), which is what I would prefer to get it from at a local junkyard. They were all $300 plus tax and your old engine, this seems like a good deal. They had like 1 or 2 SOHC 1.8's and a few DOHC's. I didnt get mileage figures, but i asked what year one of the DOHC's was from and they said 94. Im assumeing is over 100k but as long as I can pop the valve cover off and inspect it some, I would be pretty confident. Question is there anything I should watch out for when buying a BP, like anything in specific to avoid. Also would it matter SOHC and DOHC are there any install or wiring differances. Im assuming it would be best to go with DOHC. I guess the SOHC wouldn't have VICS to wire up but I am decient with wiring so if I had to it seems like it would be easy.
Another question, would it be safe if I keep the stock trans as long as I dont launch at high rpms, etc... The stock trans is fairly decient it grinds into reverce like allot of manuals, but it doesn't pop out pf 5th or anything. So do you guys think it would be alright to just change the gear oil with somethin good like Royal Purple or somthing. I just want it to last a few months, hehe. Of cource I would upgrade the clutch, with this one
http://www.lmperformance.com/10232/.html
SPEC Stage 2 Clutch Kit For 92-93 1.6, would this be good enough with some good lubrication to make my trans last? Also is there anything different bout the MX3's clutch, Ive never changed a clutch, so is there anything important or differnt I should know that someone good with cars wouldn't know? I plan to pull engine and trans together, will I havta remove the axles? I hear axles are a pain, if so whats the best way to remove them? I plan to remove the trans, and flywheel from the B6 and bolt the flywheel and the stage 2 clutch to the BP, then bolt trans to BP and lower it in. Would it be best (if it can be done) to use axles from the protege or is that not possible or is it pointless? Do my plans sound valid?? Would everything work like this? I have never done more to a car then change a starter or valvecover gasket and thermostats you know the easy stuff. I just wanna make sure I have the correct picture of how to go about this.
Now I have a few questions about the ECU and wiringharness etc...
I dont really know much about this stuff, but I am decient with wiring and stuff, I just need to learn bout car electric systems. Ok from what Ive gathered you can get BP ECU and BP wiring harness and use them. Ok please correct me if im wrong but the wiring harness with leave the ECU and go to the sensors on the engine. Do I just clip the wires off the sensors labeling them of course, and then unplug the plug that goes to the ECU, and pull all of the wires out that went to the sensors with the plug. Then after you get engine the engine in run the wires back to there sensors, mount ecu, and plug it back in. Do I have a good enough idea about this, is this how it is, or does the wiring harness also go into stuff like the igniction switch headlight switch etc...? If it does I could still figure it out, I just wanna know if im halfway close to having the right idea hehe. If im not please help me haha
Also Ive read you can use the SOHC stock ecu and wiring harness you just haveta open the ecu and solder the VICS. Whats this all about? Is it true, does anyone have pics or schematics of how to do this? I would like to use the BP ECU with stock wiring harness, seems like it would work! Seems to be easiest also, wiring VICS would be easy hehe. Well I guess thats all the questions I can think of right at this moment, thanks allot for the help I know its allot tho maybe you guys and some of my buddies can help me have a faster MX!!! :)
