Thanks folks! -pete
sockets you'll need to do maintenance yourself:

14mm (9/16) oil pan bolt
24mm (15/16) transmission plug (manual trans only)

no need to run out and get metric sockets ;)

fyi a 10 and 12mm socket wouldn't hurt

pfft why do they call it standard when it is not >.<


METRIC FTW!! =D



I also feel sorry for OP about the esscort. Have you gone through a few heater cores?

but yes substitutes are ok, as long as some idiot before hand didn't gootentight (German torque spec) and way over tighten the plugs.

are't most cars metric? I had my share of blue ovals to work on and maintain I never found a "standard" bolt on any of them?

*if you hit the socket hard enough, you can fit a metric on a standard bolt*

I can't wait either, saturday can not get here fast enough! ;) with few exceptions I think most people on here would be disappointed with their cars after driving yours. I just hope to make mine more competitive against some of the miatas in my region.
