i got off work early today so i sent out about 8-9 emails about some JDM BP-turbos, (they wanna sell it with an AWD tranny, but im tryin to get one with out it) then i found a tranny that i do need from an escort for $350...sounds like a good price to me? now all i need is to get some protege axles and a few mounts. gettin really close....gettin excited

can somebody tell me the difference between axles and transaxles?
been lookin and they should be the last peices i need to locate....i know what the axles are, but not sure about the transaxles....i assume they connect the axles to the tranny?

transaxle is the transmission in a Front wheel drive. its called a transaxle because the transmission and what would be the rear axle(ring and pinion) in a rear drive car are all in one.

either a 90-94 protege or an escort GT
the place with the tranny said that they have the drivers side axle from the escort($50)...but im tryin to see if i can get a place that has both...i called city salvage...and they like laughed and said they dont carry cars that old.....i didnt think 94 was old but...i guess
tell me if any of the prices they want seem over the top, i thought 350 for a tranny was good....and i dunno about the axles, but i can swing 50 a peice

theres a lot of other junkyards in durham. you can also buy new axles at advance for relatively cheap. 350 for a tranny sounds kinda steep but, i guess junkyard style thats ok.

this doesnt exactly fit the topic.....but i got some 14" del sol rims today, very similar to Kyles, only these look like they should have lug covers....know what i mean? anyways WOW i didnt know gettin rid of chrome would make that big a difference.....i chirped my tires on acsident the first time out.....i could never spin tires before.... theyre not much to look at, and i dont like the small size, but theyre very light
i guess i could consider this a part of the engine swap.....its all about gettin faster

you can buy one tire at a time. and a used one for 15 bucks. sucks about your tire at least it didnt happen on your way to roxboro and have a flat at the strip and ride back in the hatch of devons rx7 with your gf. it sucked. oh and be back at the strip the next morning early to change your tire.
