you didn't notice that is from a 626 sedan, not a wagon?
go find an MPV, Tribute, or 626 wagon wiper stalk... that is what you need!

sell that wiper stalk to a BJ sedan owner here

Btw, if anyone wants to know, they're practically the same. BK MPS mats was a bit longer in the front. The rears also not quite as wide so it kind of squishes right up to the plastic on the seat rail, but nothing drastic...

Should of probably vacuumed the floor first.

dude... your carpet is starting to wear through... the carpet in the 3 is paper thin... you need to protect it better... I used vinyl floor covering for homes in my SP23.... trimmed to size and tucked beneath the plastic panels so that it stays

the carpet in my protege is better, but I put the covering on anyway so that the carpet stays perfect... good for resale value

Ben · 11-02-2013, 09:07 PM

Carpet is already ripped, someone's done a hell dodgy job and looks like it's super glued up..very depressing

Also I think Marc got his wiper from a ford laser...

Was too tired to notice, not that it actually took long to put my original one back in.... And yes, I know what they come out of.

And already done

Washed the 6 this evening, so 2 clean mazda's in the driveway

diepumpkin · 11-02-2013, 10:48 PM

Ok the fs-ze goes and goes and goes !! Add that with the progress sway bar and omfg what a fun ride. Done nothing the last 2 nights but drive and drive and drive lol

HAIGHIE · 11-02-2013, 11:38 PM

good to see you enjoy the power of the ZE it is a great motor to drop in these cars

just keep driving it

you'll never get sick of it

Clean_Cookie · 12-02-2013, 12:22 AM

Haha nice work Jared again! Today myself and rhys partially disassembled squids old motor. Blown gasket as suspected. The block has an mbsb already AND oil/coolant feed lines to accommodate turbo. Mat noticed this on the weekend. Lucky me. Also pulled down the head off the good motor to send away to reco (series3) with sob. What are the chances of sourcing new timing belt covers (the three pieces of plastic/rubber, as that's going to be the only thing which will look old/leak.

project.r.racing · 12-02-2013, 10:30 AM

Just clean them and use armoral or similar on the outside.

Who is squid?

Ice88 · 12-02-2013, 11:08 AM

TheMAN · 12-02-2013, 11:18 AM

marcs_sp20 · 12-02-2013, 01:04 PM

Clean_Cookie · 13-02-2013, 09:16 AM

Squid is DD. The rubbers have swollen due to oil leaks.
