lol, I was just about to suggest visiting powerflow too :lol: guess you were expecting that ;) I shall be planning a trip (insurance company permitting) to them, to have a 2.5 or 2.0 inch twin-exit (like standard) but much louder system put in.. subtle looks with a decent deep-grunty V6 noise, but r...

Hi, I'm currently after one of those lovely bits of metal that go through your boot, joining the rear suspension together and making the car stiffer.. but I want it to be a MazdaSpeed one (requires less cutting up of the car than some others - eg rear seat belt mounts and stuff) anyone know where I ...

yeah anyone got pics of their rear strut-brace install?

I want one for mine, just because.. :p

it has one in the front as standard, which definately helps with cornering! really nicely.. but I want to strengthen up that rear if I can..

looking at the corksport, and racingmazda sites now

oh dear, you got a subaru

common thing to see on the roads round here... I like a bit of exclusivity

but yes, I bet it goes faster than the MX-3

lately I have been getting about 26/27mpg ...doesnt matter where, town of A-road or whatever

but I have been DRIVING it, if you see what I mean ... driving it... properly that is

oh dont they sound wonderful at 7000 lol

its a 1997, V6 1.8

erk, change of plan...
not gonna be heading to RR this year, but will be going to another Santa Pod event called "Japshow" will be taking my car to that one for sure

the engine thing is K ....something ermmm dunno ! someone will tho ;) as for ignition timing, I believe its all kept under control by the ECU.... dont think theres much you can do about it, so just ignore your mate ;) y'd only get problems with it, if it was a Jap one mapped for 102 RON and you star...

get a manual, much more of a drivers car.. much more engaging, more fun.. and thats what the MX-3 is all about. its a real drivers car IMO, I wont be selling mine for a looooooooooooong time!!!

yeah, no light here either..

I let it reach 'the bottom' (of the gauge anyway..) and theres always loads in there...

working out my MPG, I should be able to do a whole bunch more miles than I do on a single tank...

heh, interesting My car idles at ~700 ish rpm or so.. under 1000 anyways, but thats normal if I also push my clutch in it also drops to 300/400 ....never stalls tho, it seems perfectly happy to idle down there... as soon as I bring the clutch up, back to 700ish it goes.... I dont really worry about ...

nice intercooler ya got there

says in the book 5w30 for COLD temperatures only... that stuff is like water in our climate, you wanna be putting 10w30 (the book says) in the UK. I've got semi-synthetic, 10W40 in mine and it runs fine.. no noise at all from the lifters, apart from occasionally they rattle for a while... (and very ...

how many is it lock-to-lock in the RS?

have to say I *love* the fast steering in the MX-3, 2.7 turns lock-lock is amazingly sporty feeling... bet you cant wait to get that in there

might be going to this, dunno though its a fairly big drive, looking at around 160ish miles there....

and it seems to start at 8am! which is really silly, as it means getting up at some really early hour..

oooh 15th of may.. not far away at all,

hmmm would fill the time quite nicely between now and japfest LOL

might have to find out about it.. wouldn't wanna take my car on the strip, but could be cool.. never been to a drag event before.
