xaero_81's B6T/G25MR Build Thread

ya thats the mpv one.... it fits, plugs in and looks like it will work but the wiring is wrong, it will blow the fuse every time... had to learn that the hard way you can use the mpv arm but you have to use a diffrent delay box (the smaller one found in the festy, 323 and 626...)

[xaero_81]

Unsure. The module is larger than the festy one.

by any chance was that wiper switch from a mpv?

[xaero_81]

Went to install my variable intermittent wiper switch today. Kept on blowing the fuse.

Did a search and found this:

I too won my switch from OSX and it must be the wrong one.

Guess I'm off to see if I can find me another.

I love that color!

Your car looks really solid and I love those VX wheels.

When repainting, are you going to stick with that same shade of blue?

Karl

Yep, Krylon "True Blue". Maybe someday I'll tear it down and do a real job, but for now maybe a good buffing will do the trick. The only thing I have wet sanded and cleared are the front fenders.

Thanks for all the comments. Really encourages action...so I cut my front springs just to see how it would look since I'm not really driving it right now. Decided it was too much work to do the rear since I won't be driving it until my coilovers come.







Also, don't mind the green hatch, it will be painted in the spring or sooner. Going to paint spoiler and hatch at the same time. I put it on to add the defrost and wiper option (from 92GL parts car).

Looks like a great start!

Nice.that hard top should get you some money too.I bet ur going to end up making money with the capri..Festivas look very nice too.

[xaero_81]

Very nice. I challenge you to a b6t/g25mr swap race!

I'd love to, but I want to get my suspension done first. Also need new tires ($245 for Sumitomo HT200's? + install and alignment). Then before I do the swap I'd like to have purchased a new clutch, intercooler and piping kit, BOV and a few other things. Takes time for me to save money and convince the wife why I need all of these things. Lol.

But I guess we can race anyways...
