    have you ever looked into any of the adhesives they use in autobody. 3m, lord fusor, evercoat and valvoline all make really good products. probly the best would be the evercoat since that one dont take a special gun, just a typical calking gun is all you need.

    I think it was about $250 for the front windshield and two side windows. I got polycarbonate which is a little more expensive but very tough. You can get regular plexi cheaper, but it will scratch easier and will break easier, especially when it's cold out.

    get some friends and a couple 12 packs, it might make it take longer, but you won't hate your car as much when your done.

    Actually, after what I've heard recently about Optima, I'd recommend shopping for another brand entirely. Their web site claims their yellow top batteries are ok to discharge, but once they get damaged from that their warranty claims department will leave you hanging. This happened to the owner/administrator of one of the car forums I frequent.

    It shares the same engine, and possibly the same transaxle, as the 93-97 Probe and Mazda MX-6. There is plenty of information online about those vehicles, so at least that aspect of the 626 is covered.

    ok so why are you worried about dyno tuning? Tell him exactly what turbo you have etc and itll be damn close...then you can dyno tune and make it RIGHT on if it already isnt...your car should do just fine with just an enthalpy tune so just get that done and run it like that until you can get on a wideband or dyno...

    I don't remember if the caps are the same, however the coil would probably work. I will try and get over there in the next couple days to find it.
