Been awhile... Early this year I finished removing the vinyl pinstripes, buffed the paint, and added a new hatch decal.
Finished and swapped on the wheels I widened to 6". With the tires stretched its much less floppy in corners and the steering is 100x more responsive. I threw on some 145r12 Dunlop winter tires I got for cheap on marketplace to get it rolling, but it really needs a set of 165/70-12s.
I've been working on machining 2 degree rear camber spacers. The plan is to slightly lower it and run 2* camber all around to make it handle better and be more stable, but still have stock level ride quality.
The input shaft bearing got noisy a few months back so I tore down a spare and went through it to make sure it was in good condition before swapping it in.
Right now it's puking oil out of the cam or crank seals and either the timing idler or water pump is screaming. It also needs valve stem seals, and the IAC isn't working. I'm on the fence about resealing it and leaving it b3 powered, or swapping in a B6D I have that has excellent compression numbers. The car is up to 216k now and the b3 is still running strong, but more power would be nice since I put a ton of highway miles on the car going to Festiva meets.
