Like one was totally different and the other two were about the same or something like that. I'll try and take a look again when I'm at my parents, I think both the mufflers are still there.
Thinking about running a V6 MX3 catback with one of the RB mufflers for something relatively inexpensive that sounds and flows better.sigpic

Drove 5 miles for each lug nut on my White Escort. That's right, I put it through a 100 mile test. After I bedded in the brand new brakes, I couldn't stop driving it. 1st gen probe GT Brakes on all 4 corners is a badass setup in the BG. It's insane how good they are. The pedal feels just right, and there is plenty of grab to lock em up when you want to. I nailed the alignment too, every straight, I tested how long it would go straight. I even brought it from 60 to 0 without my hands on the wheel, pulled dead straight. Success.
I experienced absolutely no bump-steer, and that's with the tie rods on top, not flipped. I dunno, Feels perfect.
Cant wait for my dropliks so I can put a rear swaybar back on, and to fab the new front strut tower bar.
Tomorrow starts the KL swap. Pulled everything out tonight and lined up all the parts, everything appears to be present and in order. Kinda sucks I have to swap the chassis harness, pedalbox, clutch hydraulics and everything else associated with the 5speed swap, but meh, it'll be cake since I have everything ready.
Deadline for running/driving KL is 9/21 at noon. I have to drive like 60 miles to my Dad's school for his annual carshow for the Auto-Tech program.
Then I have one week until the grand opening of the new shop which will be another big show. More work will happen before that show.
These wheels are temporary. I'll be selling them this week, and grabbing some star specs for my 96 Cobra wheels.
Current:
68 Torino GT Fastback
86 MR2
91 F150
94 Escort Wagon BP swap
99 Escort Wagon BP swap
00 Miata LS
08 Arrow AX8
14 Mazda5

Only got up to 65, so hmm. I'll find out tomorrow, before I tear out the 1.9, if it goes that fast, LOL. Pretty gutless. (I kid, it'll go 120 no problem)
No sphericals currently. I'll put them in during the KL swap, since the axles are longer.
Right now, just an Escort LX front swaybar, I'm unsure if I will upgrade that. The balance is pretty perfect with the ELX front and the MX3 GS rear. My Ksports are the Road Racing spec ones that Jim helped R&D, and are quite a bit stiffer than the off the shelf KontrolPro coilovers, so I don't think I need much more swaybar.Current:

Changed my oil yesterday to Joe Gibbs 10w30, as it has the additive the current SAE oils are lacking (zinc, and phosphorus) and installed a KL K&N oil filter. Could smell the difference in the oil right away, and oil pressure seems to be strong, although I have yet to hit traffic aka lots of idle time to see if idle pressure tappers off like it has with other oils. (Normally 20psi idle, on HOT HOT days it'll drop to 15-16 at idle).
Also non-related BG news...the GD 626 has passed inspection/safety! So now it's time for insurance and license plates!-Jack
