Well, since you're overseas, if you have the 7500redline on yours, you got a K8ZE @ 135-140?hp (depending on the year). At 140hp, it would be a 14% loss

ah ha ok that explains alot, i never thought of that. My first K8 was american origin but hte power plant i have in it now is from here in europe.

I doubt it's a K8ZE if he sourced it in mainland Europe, they were only ever found in imports and Equipes.

Did I see pink in the car????

how would i know 100% i thought it could be a possibilty i seen a RHD MX3 once in berlin, and other RHD cars more then you would think. So i dont rule it out....but that means a american K8 with some KM's on it might push 110/100 horses for a V6??!?!!!!???

Oh yeah, it's definitely a possibility. I don't know actually how you'd tell the difference, I've never actually seen a K8DE up close! Compare and contrast against a pic of my (dirty) bay if ya like

I couldnt tell you either, I would more the like have to open the VC's and look at the cams maybe some one can tell from this pic?

Its hard to get a solid comparison because the only pic I have of my engine is from a different angle. I'll definitely have a look at the weekend. The IM's look pretty much the same Apparently the difference is in the cams, but who knows.

Ah ha ok thanks Jay! I would think the IM's were different.

*update

So i got my center caps in the mail from a friend in the UK (FINALLY) i didn't think they would take this long to come. Also i didn't even pay that much for them and i got 4 complete nuts, 4 rings, 3 clips (rupe should have one on astinagt), the RAYS eng. wrench, and the ring removal tool (although its worthless because its easier to wiggle the rings off, or maybe im using it wrong ) I plan on buffing the nuts ( please no homo humor) and painting the rings silver with the same paint i used to refinish the actual rim so it should look good in the end but here is a preview



MS logo valve caps i HAD to









P.S. I have reached 477/500 photos on image shack...2 dollars a month for premium?!?! if they had a one time price ok but wow.......i guess its time to open a fake account for more of that sweet freeness

ALSO just in time for winter i got my A/C
but im moving to california in novemer so it will come in handy. The whole box was about 30lbs So i figure with the weight gain on the car ill loose 30lbs to balance it out But i opened the box and this BRAND NEW a/c kit had EVERYTHING to equip your whip with ice cold air.







I know there is a how to but if anyone one needs a pdf. of the assembly instructions just hit me up.

When i actually put this on will more then likely be after i swap my F*** up Corksport front for the Mazdaspeed nose i acquired from a JDM presso

Wheel centres look awesome, good stuff! I picked up those ones you tipped me off on at the weekend, got them a bit cheaper so I'm pretty happy Do need to get open-ended wheel nuts tho!
