Could I join with my shitbox beegee?

Speaking of, my auto belt stopped on the corner of the door and makes driving the car annoying... Anyway to make it move manually and lock it in place?

Is it a 323? Put the VIN in here and see if it has a seat belt recall.

Some of them have a lifetime warranty!

Looking at it maybe only the RX-7 had a lifetime warranty. The 323 had a recall but I don't know if they replace it more than once?

It's 111ft-lbs vs 114ft-lbs, not that bad for torque. Fun enough in a light car.

I had this interior color. Is it brown, tan, or grey? I don't really know, and I can't remember how it looked in person.

First and second gen Proteges / 323s are subject to a new recall related to potential fires from the ignition switch.

Sweet, had no idea NAPA had those! It says "front" under information though, the rears aren't a different size are they? Last time I did it it was on my BG Kia but i don't remember if they are different or not.

Found an old ClubP thread. There are four of those and two stabilizer bushings.

Oh look:

They still do make these. I was wrong. It was the stabilizer bushings I custom ordered.

Yes they do, 1990-1991, their drivetrains are supposedly pretty weak.

Parts store alternators are usually pretty lovely. Also, I've never heard of a car's charging system getting to over 17 volts...

Try running it without the accessory belts for a short time to see if it still makes the noise? Then maybe a pulley is seized?

Do you have to hook the horns up to a relay?
Why does the light meter go from positive to negative?
Also, do you like those crates with the yellow lids? I saw them at Costco. They don't have the folding lid kind anymore.

Displacement says 1500 so I wonder what motor is in it or if that's a mistake. It has gauges below the radio some I'm guessing it's a turbo, but yet it doesn't even have alloy wheels. Weird, but I want it.

It's one of the three B5 variants, ranging from 90hp to 118hp.
The gauges are just an accessory, like oil pressure and other misc stuff.
Those bumpers are rare I think.

The Momo is just temporary btw, it's on there until I get the wheel i bought from the guy that sold me the mirrors. The horn button in the original wheel was hosed obviously, so the PO drilled a nice hole in it for the shitbox horn button wires and hosed it permanently. The new wheel is gonna be nice.

The horn pad used to be like $15, don't know if they still make it but if they do it's a very easy fix.

I've had three cars with those and never had a problem with any of them. I must be the auto belt genie. I never figured out exactly what the emergency exit lever did on my Camry though.

There's a controller unit under the driver's seat for the seatbelts. At least there was on the 92. I guess you can chuck it and save a pound haha.

edit: Wow according to my service manual it connects to the CPU. Maybe it's better to leave it there haha.
