When I blow it up I'll figure that out :angel:

I'll be broke the whole summer so the first 2 months will be working 2 jobs paying for all that crap. I hope to be done about August. Then I'll look at it, smile, and say all that bull shit for a god damn escort. So what are you guys gonna be doing? I can't wait see Spyke's videos haha and what Vit will be driving by then.

Where'd you get the caliper rebuild kit from and how much? I need to look into some for my rear discs

[Spyware]

I'm gonna actually get into my quest to learn more about cars. Been a computer nerd for lord knows how long and I've started to drift away from that and got interested in working on my vehicle. So far I've already replaced the drums and shoes (I hate drums.. If I had the money I'd swap to disc), installed a new amp and subs and installed new cluster faceplate covers. Mods I hope to do over the summer (starting slow) include:

- Amp cut-off switch in my cubby
- ATX Stage-2
- New UDP and ODP
- Tranny cooler
- Knocker Mod
- Maybe a 19" sway bar.. Heard some people love this addition.
- Keman intake

haha I was the same way until I got my Z last Feb. I've found that the Z is one of the easiest fuel injected engines to work on, it's all fairly simple. If you're looking for a bigger sway bar, talk to me when your ready. I can get you a 19mm or 21mm for about $40 shipped. Keman intake is a good mod for the money, but if you want a little bling you can get a v6 accord intake off ebay for $30 to $40 and it will fit just fine.

Oh and Mellow, check napa. It was about $14 for the rebuild and $7 or so for the piston. when you change out the piston in the caliper, DO NOT hone it. IIRC there is no replacement for a honed bore in the caliper.

sounds like you guys got a lot of fun ahead. I'm so glad summers here, now I get to enjoy my hard work on my turbo build. After one more trip to the tunning shop.

As long as everything goes as planned.

- ATX-MTX swap
- S/R struts purchased!!!!
- DropZone springs
- Urathane bushing kit
- 19mm rear sway bar

That should turn the car into a little more fun. 00escortZX2 I may have to talk to ya bout that sway bar!

I prefer rear drums, unless you have ABS or are road racing.
Good luck with the turbo.
There used to be massive information available in out forced induction section.
