    Forgot to add the first time my b! Bolts onto the stock booster. It just cheaper than stock, maybe slightly better. Bigger cylinder should push more fluid in theory.

      Just called on it and they Escort MC can't be shipped to the store until the 4th and I kinda want it tomorrow! Might just get the stocker for now.

      Called O'Reilly's and their new one is 75 bucks...and the reman doesn't come with the reservoir. AutoZone is able to have a stock one transferred to the store tonight. So I think I'm gonna just go with that.

        So, I just got done removing all of the sound system and wires. I found the stock wires for the speakers in the panels up front and in the back...should I just connect the speakers I end up getting to the stock wires or since I already have the large gauge wires should I use that instead? For simplicity and not having to route wires all over the place I'm thinking just use the stock wires. I won't be putting a sub in and I don't need like crazy good speakers I just want some decent sound on all four corners.

        Also I just finished taking out the rear carpet and all the back panels. Prepped for vacuuming!






        And I've noticed that when I'm driving the car the Belt Light never goes off and I just found this connector on the passenger side that isn't plugged in...can't seem to find where it needs to plug into...where is it just hiding from me?

              Got the car all vacuumed up today. Looking much better inside now!

              I also started installing my new headunit and ran out of light so I had to improvise!




              So now my headunit is all installed. Running on one crappy speaker right now. My girlfriends dad is gonna get me some speakers at Dealer cost!

                Turns out I need a new brake booster too. Looks like the brake fluid has been leaking out of the back of the master cylinder and it has in turn rusted out the booster and probably ruined the diaphragm inside.


                Hopefully both the Master Cylinder and Brake Booster will be going on tomorrow morning.

                Also I never showed a pic of my one and only working speaker right now! I just have it magnet to the back hatch. It's a crappy speaker and only a temporary setup until I can get some new ones. Hopefully next week.

                  Got the brakes taken care of today. New stock booster and new master cylinder from an Escort GT Auto! Finally registered and licensed.

                      Not sure. It was parked there already. I work on a college campus so it's probably some students.

                      My other vehicle is an '03 Suzuki SV650. (That's my friends S2000.)

                                It is in excellent condition! I say get a bike trailer and bring the Festy/CBR combo to Madness!
