Still have these Kyle?

If it's an Aero pump with all the stuff I'll take it.

I'd really like to see what these look like on the MR2.... Any trades? I've got staggered bronze 5zigen fn01rc's. 5Zigen FN01R-C wheels - Bronze 17x8 +35 with 215/40-17 Falken Azenis in front 18x9.5 +45 with 275/35-18 Falken Azenis in back http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y165/tysaxon226/pics010.jpg

I never even considered one until the trade was presented to me for my old 91 4 banger auto mustang, but I picked up a 2000 Escort ZX2 a few weeks ago and I am shocked at how well the car has done. It's got 210k miles and I literally have gotten 32mpg on the first tank of gas with about 70/30 driving and on the second tank got 37mpg when I had to make a trip up to Dayton to pick up some tires and I did about 90/10 driving. I'm already on 30x miles on this tank of gas and I've never been able to put more than 10 gallons of gas in the car when I see the gas light come on and go to fill up. The ricer inside me actually enjoys driving the car daily too. Nice stereo with factory 6 disc in the trunk, 5 speed, sunroof, power everything and cruise all work. You can find these cars for like a dollar on craigslist it seems. It handles pretty decent, has enough power to get me around and isn't THAT ugly lol. I'm shocked at how every single thing on the car still works at 210k miles too.

Hoping to have the car back soon and all that is left to be done is the wiring. So far I know of one option, but he hasn't seen the car and is quite busy right now, so would like to keep my options open in case that doesn't work out. To start, I do not have the time to do this and I don't do wiring anyway. I've done some very small scale wiring of gauges, etc in the past, but just don't have the time or know-how to wire up everything that needs to be done at this time. Here is a list of things that will need wired: -Finish up the battery relocation -Electric water pump -Contour electric fan to the ECU so the fan is controlled by the ECU (would also be sweet if this could be done with the water pump but have no idea if that's possible) -AEM wideband ,autometer nexus oil and water gauges using the 6401 controller -GM 1 Bar Map sensor into ECU -AEM EPM into ECU -LQ9 Coilpacks into ECU I am using an AEM 30-1400 P&P ECU in the car. I'd like to find someone who is neat and detailed. I'd like to find someone who is also good with researching / familiar with the AEM is I'd like it to be able to control several of these "extra"s similar to how the factory ECU did. Let me know if you need any more info, pics, or whatever. Thanks. If worse comes to worse, I've seriously considered having the car shipped down to Kurgan to have him wire up the car and to put a base tune on the car, but I'd like to keep it somewhat local if at all possible.

Same at 5:57 lol. Bad ass! David Wolfe is a bad bad man.

Very cool build! The only thing I would have changed is what was previously stated about leaving the HVAC system in the car. It is a Lexus after all Why do you need that space behind the dash anyway?

Agreed.

Not bad. I really like the way those things look.

Looks to be in great shape! I'm going to assume NA, but I could be wrong? Any more details?

Ah I see now. That is pretty cool and would work well in some of the situations listed above. Would work great at the racetrack for swapping tires, etc.

I hate working under my car so when I do have to, I get it as high in the air as my jack will allow. So to answer your question, I adjust my jack stands every single time I use them. And I still don't even understand the concept. So you place this stand on top of your existing jack and there is a slot in the back so you can slide your jack out. Problem is, if you have enough room to get that jackstand under the car to the factory jack points, why do you even need a jack in the first place?

Does anyone else hate brackets as much as I do? That's cool you're into Y blocks, but when they turn 18's at the track, they should probably just be left for cruising... Glad to see Mike get his new PB at 9.12 and his 160mph trap. Car rolls out. If he can find a way to build boost off the line, that's an 8 second car all day.

What's your pricing going to be like? Not to start anything again, but BG currently does have a coldside that can be bought seperately and I'd be curious about price. Full 3"? I'm debating on building my own or just buying.

Congrats, those cars definitely roll out for sure. Not taking that away from you. Problem is, what about the standard $1500 kits that wear the on3 name? Of course lot's of people are going to have your kits, they're cheap lol. Hence why I asked how many will be at the NMRA this weekend racing with the big boys?
