I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.

If you put a flashlight behind the projector, it will still work, but not properly.Cincinnati, ohio Bengals for life

What did I do to my BG? Well, on Sunday, this happened:
The Escort Wagon could no longer contain the power of the BPT.

I didn't want to get a bunch of water in the pneumatic motor and valves, so I built the Franzinator, and it seriously removed any noticeable water at all. A tiny dessicant filter on the end might not even catch any.

I've had some parts sitting around for far too long, and I need to use them: GTR intake manifold, SS tubular exhaust mani, ported VF10, Walboro 255, billet fuel rail, Aeromotive FPR, 550cc injectors, Boundary Engineering oil pump gears.
What am I mis-rememberiing... oh yeah, the Haltech E6K and the '98 ST205 trans, front axles, shifter, cables, driveshaft, rear axles, rear diff (all with only 26K miles). FRS (Ford Racing Suspension) and Cusco front/rear camber plates (for Tarmac) and/or Bilstein 40mm inverted dampers with JVAB bodies (for rally/rallyX/iceX), probably a few other things here and there.
I'm actually doing a bit of a juggling act. The engine from the Protege 4WD that I got from Craig in Montana in '09 was a fresh build. That came out a few weeks ago. I'm going to do a quick refresh on it, and it's going into the 323. But the transmission w/LSD that just came out of the wagon is going to get the diff machined and speedo gear replaced, and go onto the Montana engine, so I have the freshest, most efficient engine in the 323, and I'll be able have cruise control, Air conditioning, and ~40mpg, as well as handle awesomely.
The BPT that was in the Wagon will get a refresh, and parts added, and get mated to the E153, and shoehorned into the Protege, so I can go whoop up on some EVOs and STi's.
The engine/trans currently in the 323 will get a good refresh, and go into the wagon, which I will then be selling. I love that car, and every time I see it, I want to keep it and make it faster/better/stronger, but since I've got the 323 for FWD goodness, and the '98 OBS for wagon-ness, it got the short straw.
That's not even including the bone-stock blue 4WD protege, or the '92 MX3 GS shell sitting around, or the '85 Volvo, or the '85 AE86, or the '81 Suzuki cafe/bobber project, or the turbo diesel tow rig I want to build, or the '79 or newer vehicle I need to find/build for a hillclimb coming up in September (Possibly a '79 Regal, with circle-track bolt-on suspension bits, with a 408 chevy (400 bored .040), with a matching TH350)......or the lawn that needs mowing, landscaping that needs maintenance, house that needs cleaning, food that needs eating, money that needs earning by spending too much time working....
so yeah, I've got approximately 463 years of work to do asap.
Maybe I should just sell everything and buy an EVO.
