Well, I guess it could have been worse. Its in and works like a champ. Prior to the swap, I had been having electrical power problems. My charge light would come on (dimly). Now this is after the BPT swap. As you may know, the 1.6 SOHC engine, uses a 70 Amp alternator, where the BPT uses only a 65 A...

I may have to work on the 2nd, but now I may need to be here for the 26th either way. So I think I may have to count myself out, but if things work out, I'll see you on the 2nd.

Late entry here. Haven't been on the forum in a long time. I'd like to try and make it over there. I'm about 100 mi north of New York City. Hit me with an address and I'll mapquest my way. Better to reach me on aol m0n0b0mber@aol.com IM me or email. I'm running with a BPT, and lots of other goodies....

Not so central, Ulster County. About 100 mi North of NYC.

Wow that's funny. I JUST finished this exact setup last weekend. Eibach Pro Kit from Corksport and Tokico struts front and rear. Also added KYB upper mounts all around (old ones were all rusted/rotted out). I am liking it so far. I was pretty simple to do. Dying to get back into spring/summer and ta...

I do have an amplifier that powers 2 12 in subwoofers. I am still using the same audio setup I had prior to the BPT swap. No capacitor, actually I have one that I haven't put in yet.

I got a little digital voltmeter that plugs into the cigarette lighter and it reads 14.3 most of the time. I turned on all my accessories (stereo, fan, headlights, etc...) and it went down to about 13.9 or so. Finally one day I could not start the car and had to get a new battery. So now I have a ne...

LONG story short: I've got the 93 4 cyl. When I first swapped in my BPT, the charge light was on. I put in a rebuilt alternator (for the Protege LX of course) after it finally died one day. THAT alternator died shortly thereafter on my way to get the car inspected. Their machine said it was putting ...

On a second note anyone know how to safely remove a stripped screw from the gas tank sending unit? They were pretty bad before i even got into them, i got 3 of them off but 2 of them are on there. I was thinking a hand file and just file them down till theres nothing left of the heads. I had the sa...

I have the BPT in my 93 MX-3. The alternator that came with it caused the battery charge light to be on after startup, but off after a certain RPM. Eventually that one died. I bought a remanufactured one from advance auto parts. Installed it myself and it worked fine. It squeeked a little all the ti...

Horn thing was funny. Scare Me was frickin retarded. I would beat the crap out of those guys.

Very thorough response, thank you. It is an RS. I just got new drums and shoes not too long ago so I hope that they are still okay. The car has over 180,000 miles on it and I am assuming it is the original cable since I haven't changed it since I got the car with 76,000. When I first got the car bac...

you dont really gain horsepower with a lighter flywheel, it just is less mass for the motor to turn so the RPM's climb faster bringing you inot the powerband quicker. It just takes less work to make the power. The downside is that you also drop RPM's faster between shifts, bringing you out of the p...

My car is due for inspection and my old buddy who used to hook me up isn't in the business anymore SO... I went to frickin jiffy lube. They tell me that my ebrake is barely holding the car in place, which I knew. This would not pass an inspection. I take the car down to my muffler/brake guy. He look...

I spotted this cutie driving a completely stock Creek Blue Mica MX-3 up in my neck of the woods in Kingston, NY. I pulled up along side her with my completely not stock MX-3 and drove with her for a while until she turned off to Adams. I see this Lambourgini Pearl Orange MX-3 with a body kit and Z3 ...
