As many of you know I was sideswiped by another driver a little over a week ago and my car was considered totalled by the insurance company, but I'm not claiming it as that would cost me more cash. Unfortunately my cars performance has taken a turn for the worse and some issues with the right side(got pushed up onto the curb) and have started noticing more noise and some violent shakes coming from that area under the hood and have determined that it's not worth fixing the mechanical issues with the car and have decided to start a motor swap. At this time I do not have the funds to purchase a motor AND install it, so I am taking the B6D out of my MX-3 and am going to clean it up, install hotter cams, install cam gears, and replace all the seals then it's going in the 323. For those of you that don't know, the B6D is basically a B6T without the turbo, which brings me to my next point, a turbo is now even more feasible since I don't have to purchase a motor and the last time I went to pick and pull they had a turbo capri intact, so I'm hoping I can get lucky and find another one and take the turbo setup off of it(kicking myself for not getting the other one). The cars body is still going to be repaired, but I might do a full repaint of the car myself as I can't afford a professional paint job.
I just wanted to let everybody know what was going on with my car, I haven't been as active on the site since the accident as I'm still upset about it, it also doesn't help that I'm reminded of the damage everyday I get into it thanks to the damage being on the drivers side, but I am more focused on getting my car completed and hope to have everything finished by January, I'll keep you guys updated as much as possible.
Thanks.
