Trying to past inspection. If you care to donate spindles, rotors, ball joints, brake pads so I can have big brakes in the front and the rear subframe for disc brakes with the lines and ebrake cable, and pull a escort wagon rear sway bar and a zx2 front bar, I'll be stopping and handling mother****er. Until then, stock small 22-13 brakes it is.
I'll pm you my address so you can ship the parts when your ready Princess.My car is a Vazondissan. Part Nissan. Part Mazda. Part Ford. Part VW. Part Honda.

Oh, and you need to make sure you lube up the bushings real good, or they seize up.
Now, what did I do to my bg today? How about reinstalled it's ecu and drove it. (The race car, that is. 323 is still not running.) Also took some exaust videos of it. I don't know why, but it seems louder than when I drove it last. I'm wondering if my glasspack burnt out again last race. But it's still quieter than a straight pipe.Last edited by Racerboy; 03-18-2012, 08:43 PM.My family has lots of bg's!

I've used Delrin (not sure what that derlin stuff is, maybe it's got a different durometer rating?) on the front, all bushings, no grease, and never broke a bar yet. Bent a bolt, but broke nothing. Probably something different in the suspension somewhere, I'm sure.
Hmm, on a BG.. the green EGT that I used to own, and sold to a buddy several years ago, popped a rear brake line, so I fixed it and the other that was just starting to weep. and put new battery terminals on it, and added a quart of oil, and replaced the passenger tie rod end. rotated tires, flushed the brake fluid, found a bad rear wheel bearing, and located the two exhaust leaks that will require a new downpipe and flexpipe. took photos of the undercarriage to show my buddy that he REALLY needs to get another car, no matter if this one is still going strong, because it's going to snap in half pretty soon from the rust. darned salty roads!

I bent a front strut somehow. Alignment is off positive camber on drivers front. Horrible tire wear these were supposed to last the season
