mazda protege lx-gt 99-00
those rims came standar on all 00+model, but they'r 5 nuts

[kab-rst]

worked a couples of hours on the rs-t today, re-done all the ground wire


i completely removed the interrior to repaint it, and bought some GS SE seats,nice to have heated leather,plus i sooo like the sitting position of the first gen gs model.
the wire wont plug tho, the plugs are different, each one to be exact, not event the ''belt'' signal wire wont fit,i'll switch all the plug from the gs then






took the msd and tach adaptor out, and re-routed the wire through the fender,nice and invisible, now i have much more place for the piping
hell...



everything have been welded,taped,and covered,i really like the result,
pic tomorow tho

i putted back the car together, the wings hold only by 2 bolts and the bumper with 2 tiewrap,dont mind the imperfection, it havent washed since my last runs at the trac.

warning, carporn






















need a IM paint, urgent!, the t3t4 is on it's way, it's the only thing i'm missing to start the car.

[mx-3_4evr]

Car is looking great! Like the new wheels! Where did you get those from?

[kab-rst]

some guy on monchar.com(frensh cardomain.com) decided to build his integra in a shop

had some 3-4k job done on his teg before he lost his job,the mechanic told him that untill he got the money he'll never see his teg again.

sold the mags for 120$ each,new in box,with the bill in it,he paid 172 before tax(my lucky day i guess)now i need tires tho, i have tons of 15'' but no 16''

turbo ordered this morning:P

[kab-rst]

piping completed, flared, and welded


got the hairdryer





for the first time, i did EVERYTHING myself this winter..
2007 was the MS, no way i'm toutching that,i'm colorblind
08,was my first turbokit,kinda choked-out
09,months and hours ,countless thing i learned, didin't cost me 1/3 of what i pay every spring, changed about everything in the car, tought the car would never start,no noise, no smoke,no nothing! it's like if i never stored it in the first place.i cant describe the feeling,but i slept like a baby that night

the car moved for the first time since october,
nothing happens in the vid, exept the joy and facination of seeing the car move after X hours of works.


i'm also storing my buddy's del-sol, he was happy as a kid to take a ride too,dont mind him

[kab-rst]

new mags are on, i like the look, but it's not love at first sight




also got some new slicks



we can see the belly on this one



going to the track tomorow, wish me luck, if 20 psi shatter my tranny*yet again* i'll post update tomorow night

[mx-3_4evr]

BUMP! I want to know how has 2009 treated you so far

[kab-rst]

ok, it's been a while,here a major update with tons of pics

my hood popped in my face at the track, ruined both the windshield, the top ,wings etc
it went over at 160-170,so no big chance of saving something.hood pins failure,horrible mess

here!, a in car video of what happened





before

after










if you told me 2 weeks ago that my car would look like that,i'd probably would have jumped from the third floor

since 700 was way too much to repair my car i had to find another one, and i did find one, @ 700$
mx-3 gs 95,bleu mica,ATX, full options,no rust at all, 121 000 km, it was a deal,so,over with the drums, got my rear subframe with sway bar/rear disc,sunroof etc etc
it's been sitting in a garage backyard for 7 months, so it's kinda dirty

a huge thanks to all the help i had:P
here's the gs,


dont forget thet i'm keeping everything from my rs, suspention direction,cross member etc etc, rs to gs really IS a lot of job

4 guy to get 1 engine off:P







jvoullait faire le boutte facile de défaire tout ski a en dessous

mart voulait pas:(






1h to take the block off





the whole engine bay was brushed,and painted with gravelguard/flat black paint






pimp my ride ,mx-3 style





brakes were simply horrible, so i kept everything,wheel hub etc



horrible part, as i had to take the k08 away we used the same chain block that we used on the pic, one part is atached to the celling, and the other part is on wheel,so you can move it around easy,

problem/top gear top tips,do not EVER EVER lock the wheels on anything with that kind of chain block, as the wheel got stuck on the pickuptruck, the whole thing flipped over, and YES we almost got killed,we were 2 ppl standing on the pickup









it was scarry, nobody was hurt, and the only damage was a rear suspention for the pickup(suspention blade?) and my upper rad suport was fucked.luckily for us it wasent the whole pickup cab, or my widshield AGAIN

we put the thing up again and tested it with my friend's dad tractor:Pif it can hold 20 tons, maybe it's gonna be good enough for my bpt


and it did pass the test








pour la premiere fois en 5 ans, le bloc sort du char :0

turbo mx-3 saga






i love you man!


my dump tube broke off due to poor weld/cheap material

clutch bearring had to be taken off


le fillage, it's horrible, it was a b6 96 obd2, with a megasquirt as piggyback,cutted/splitted from my car'wiring,installed in a 95 automatik gs

real rat nest, like 18feet long

rear brakes were long dead, so i ahd everything in new to install


BAD surprise, an alignement ajustement rod was bended, probably by someone who didin't knew how to tow a car

i had sapres one, lucky me
began at 11-12, finished at 4 am,dead, with a bottle of wine

after 15-16h, te simplest task was looking like a mountain, we searched everywhere for tools that were in our hands

were dead tired, so we slept in the car from 5 to 8 and started again

getting my bpt in the gs








there is a LOT of things that dosent fit, espetially the fucken heater rad's hoses



now ebout everything is bolted back up, as some updates, i bought projectors so i dosen't kill myself when it's raining,and a mazdaspeed protege transmition, so my lsd is FINALLY on the way to the weld shop





now it'S in, i have some problems with the wiring, so i sent my ms/wiring to get torn apart ,so i can run the gs/rs being stand alone, lot less problems.once the car fires up, it needs an enlignement, and off i go with a new car, it's been a real headache, but we did about everything in 2 days

i'll update later
