Re: Duratec / Mazda L-Series MZR I4 2.0 / 2.3 / 2.5 Swap

Time for a little data-point.... If you're looking at doing a 2.5 swap, the most common donor is the 2013 - 2020 Ford Fusion. Millions of them were produced and the engines pretty much last forever, so there's not much demand. You may recall from economics class, large supply, little demand equals ...

Re: Need some tire thoughts

I found a shop here in town that got me a set of Toyo Extensa HP in 195/50/15 but that was awhile ago. It made a big difference in acceleration having such a low profile tire. I’d imagine that’s a big boost in acceleration - the tires are over 6% smaller. Maybe too small for me, but I’ll put the To...

Re: replace oil pan gasket in car?

Car is done and back together. Fill everything up and started it last weekend to let it warm up, circulate oil and see if any leaks show up. So far, nothing. Used a few cans of foaming engine cleaner to try and get all the grease and grime off the bottom, then powerwasher. Much cleaner and nice look...

Re: Harvesting Seat Track Feet for Alternate Seats

Interesting, I've got a pile of original XR seat tracks that I've been itching to just toss, but I feel bad doing so, therefore they just sit in the middle of the floor/walkway. Maybe if I could find some other seats to swap I'd give it a shot.

Re: Turn Signals/Switch

Update on my taillight/turn signal problem. The turn signal stalk went south, and the wiring connector on the passenger side was partially melted. Thank you to Mike at Merkur Depot for supplying me with a bulb holder and pigtail connector, and to Jeff at Merkur Midwest for a Euro turn signal stalk....

Re: Carrier Bearing Identification

To my knowledge, the MT models never had a carrier... Doorman is the only one I can see that makes the "stock" part. Their site says it only fits 86+ AT models. If anyone has a similar setup, I'd appreciate if one could provide measurements so I may check if it is actually Dorman 934-012....
