98' Ford Escort Zx2 - Beginning of a Rebuild


Recommended Posts

Get rid of that penny this weekend lol. It's a temporary fix, but I had the same problem happen to me twice with that rubber bushing on my escort years ago, just posted it in the other thread lol. Go get a pack of the push-in trim panel clips and push one through the hole on the pedal where the old bushing was, that's how I fixed mine and my buddies bushing problem.

Edit for link:

These things.... You can get them at autozone or o'reilly's or whatever

NICE!!! thanks for the help. I was thinking to myself how the hell I was going to find a rubber piece made for a vehicle that hasn't been made since 2003 lol, then I realized that I wasn't and I should just rig something up so that I can get to work daily. I'll definitely buy that. I have an advanced auto parts close buy where I get all my stick-on spoiler needs... but not really.

on a side note, I liked that rendition of the little mermaid that you posted lol, it gave me some lulz

Is it battery sitting at 3 volts? Obviously duh lol. With the car off I'm assuming?

LOL always something is it not. Wow that is kinda weird on the belt. What is idle voltage? Did you burn up your batt showing paper tricks :lol:.

hey now... lol. rubber pad to the brake pedal assembly fell off so the brake lights stayed on... replaced rubber piece with a penny and it works again... hopefully my next videos will be better with my dc lvl 4 in the trunk.

I just sold my skar and box tonight :)

Hu the brake Assembly must be diff in your car big time. When mine broke I made a new rubber pad out of old RC tires. Last month went to Orelie's got a new Assembly.

On the dc lvl 4 :yaya::P:good: .

I know I haven't been posted much on my build. I've been having stuff break again and again and it's holding me be. I have my DC lvl 4 m2 12" ordered and I'm about to order a Sundown SAZ-1500D v.2 for the rebuild. Recently my alternator's slip ring is acting up so I'm either going to have it fixed or just buy a mechman alt instead.

I have my box designed. tuned to 32 Hz with bracing. let me know if anything stands out

Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, debt is the money of slaves. Just my .02c

that shop needs keep those doors open so they have to charge for it

if people think 10k is a lot then they should get into other hobbies.. like masturbating, cause any hobby cost money to maintain

Lol no, I'm smarter than that bro haha. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice..............go fuck yourself lol

I know that I haven't been doing much of anything due to the lack of amplifier or subwoofer, but this is what I HAVE had time to get to

I decided to get some Great Stuff and fill in any cavities in my car, so here it is.... it really doesn't stop expanding, it just keeps :bunny: I also got some new RCA's and I never posted pics of my coaxials on here
