If you grab a nice Protege BP harness I believe its completely plug and play, no wire splicing needed (that is a 5 speed harness). No that capri is more a mustang than anything. Plus I wouldn't swap the 5th gear from a capri into your car, I took it because it was the only car there that had the right gear. It only drops the rpm's 500. 70 mph is about 4k.

Since I'm a SOHC, it is plug and play minus the VICS wires.

And the extra wire for the Disty.

What is this wire for? Thanks for the heads up...

I like the stock hight of the MX-3. If the roads in your area are anything like in my town you'd just beat the front lip off anyway if you lowered your car. I want to move close to your wrecking yard. Mine hasn't got squat.

something like signal to or from the ECU, you will need it for the car to run. you can add the pin to your existing plug, there is a foam plug in there, just pull it out, and shove a new pin in there.

I suppose... I could find the pin No. in the BP protege shop manual, eh? I have access to that.

Also,

Today I am trying something new. I'm doing bumper work. I'm repairing using a black urethane and some finer (1/8" grid) metal mesh. Its working pretty good so far. I got the highest adhesion and 50% flex. Its really nice for working on the back side of cracks, and I'm also filling in the holes left be removing the OEM grill. As soon as that stuff dries, I'm putting in my Fiat grill, and I hope its sexy. I would have pictures, but I gave the GF back her camera... why, I don't know....

I have a PDF of the protege Manual i could aim to you if you want it.

No, no worries, I just need to go to work, walk into the back, and pull out the paperback.

And my urethane needs to be WAY harder. This was a bust. I should aim for durathane, I think, but I couldn't find it anywhere? Crappy tire and an local construction/home reno store.... boo!

If colour doesn't matter, use construciton adhesive. that stuff is awesome. bonds to anything, wet or dry. Use it between concrete and steel, and the concrete will break

3M window Weld seems to be the product of choice for Urethane.

It seems I want something that hardens to near-rock-hard. That stuff fits that description?

I noticed something today. My car always fires after turning over 4 times.
turn, turn, turn, turn, fire & start.
It used to fire on the first turn, but then I swapped I/M, TB, fuel rail, and one injector. I know the parts I added were good, because I have had them running before I swapped my motor.
Any guesses to why this is?

Edit, update

Grill

Ride height.

My car, as of yesterday

Just kidding, its my brothers beater that we accidentally rode up on a bale and caught fire...

You can use this intake adapter, should work. I know it was included with my CAI kit so I didn't need to buy one.
