Re: WhiteFinish's Log It's all about the wires.
I couldn't resist anymore to buy some cusco camber plates.
After some good searches I've found a good deal on a new front set, + another deal on the rear set.
Now just to wait for them to arrive.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Re: WhiteFinish's Log powdercoating and cusco
I will update the Brake disk part once I've actually driven the car
Don't want to start talking about something that hasn't been proven yet.
Powder ocating that tube, I don't know. Let's see what weill happen. I think it's fine.

Re: WhiteFinish's Log powdercoating and cusco
Of course did some more work:
Remounted new balljoints, tierods etc
From a good friend I received a set of Ford Escort ZX2 trailing arms
Mx3, measured the narrow end.
Zx2
Strange thing i don't understand yet. The Mx3 and ZX2 on top of each other. Yet the mx3 seems wider.
Master brake cilinder (millenia) where I accidently had the 2 tubes reversed.
New piece of cable to finish up the wiring of the subs.

Re: WhiteFinish's Log re-installing again.
So, my electrical stuff in the car is now finished and wired up.
The engine was in and for a moment started. Besides of a faulty TPS sensor (easy fix) I've been fighting against a coolant leak !!
Terrible !
It appear the engine had some broke bolts, one of them being the coolant piping at filling neck to the bottom end. I took a chance with gasket sealing and I failed.
Take all the timing stuff off, intake off, pullies off etc
Got a helicoil kit, fixed that leak.
Than the leak from the "feeding" pipe towards the oilfilter housing started leaking.
Replaced that O-ring and continued.
Now I'm at (I hope) my last leak. It seems either rear bank head gasket or Block heater block-off plate.
Put some UV-dye in the system to find it, but off course, now it's not leaking anymore.
Ow.. and some powder coated valve covers for the KLDE.

Do you think zx2 trailing arms are better?
Does it worth?
