Re: A Quick Hello!

Hi, buy a four cylinder mx-3. I had mine with 130k miles on it with not a single problem. She was damn slow, but that's nothing a turbocharger can't fix (if you have the itch). :p

Re: Motor Mounts Install?

You can do it without a hoist, I have. Just use a tiny bottle jack on your oil pan with some sort of soft material between the jack and the oil pan. You may have to use a pry bar to move the engine around a bit here and there, just be careful what you pry on.

Re: September drag board

It's not that I'm scared or anything, just i guess the competition. Had the same feeling when I wrestled, ran cross country, etc....I think it's a guy thing :shrug: I know I will be running my car again soon with some much better numbers. I replaced mhy TPS which helped out with some of my major tro...

Re: Holy merciless clutch, Batman!

I had the same problem. To solve it, all I did was adjust the pedal like groharlem said, and I welded about 1/4 of an inch onto the slave rod, and bleed the clutch.

Re: September drag board

Honestly I can't say for sure I remember how I do it LOL. I get nervous and just kind of do it without thinking. I THINK that i just dump the clutch at about 3k rpm as soon as the last yellow lights up. I'm such a newb at strip racing...half the time it takes me 3 tries to get staged correctly. This...

KLZE trouble: not starting, over-heating, dying, and buc

Sounds really fun i know, but it's getting really annoying. When the car is cold, it will start right up, but unless the gas is pushed, it will die. After about 2-3 times of starting and then dying, it will then turn over and over and will NOT start. After a few tries of that, it will fire up again....

Re: Canadian OEM wing ( where to get in US?)

Nope, he means the Canadian gs wing. I want one too. Looks way better than the US version.

Re: September drag board

I got in about 5 runs in last night. I won all except the last one against an srt4 and the only reason I lost is because my car started doing the bucking thing I've been having trouble with lately, causing me to run an 18 something. I had previously beat the srt4 earlier in the night. I need to just...

Re: turbo in the trunk

Originally posted by Mnemonic: actually a company came up with this design for the ford focus, they handle the lack of piping space by putting the turbo where the Cat is. Wow that is a good idea.

Re: Blew the 100 amp main fuse

A couple more things...I replaced the fuse, tightened up the terminal and so far so good. At first i was struggling so hard to pull the main fuse out, 'til i saw this little bolt that was holding it in. FYI, there is two bolts holding the main fuse in, so if this happens to anyone, make sure you don...

Blew the 100 amp main fuse

Driving my girl home, and all of a sudden everything dies. I get out, check the battery connections, positive is virgin tight, negative is loose but still on the terminal. I check the fuses, sure enough, the 100 amp main fuse in the engine bay is blown. Anyone ever have this happen to you? I think t...
