I hear you about the heat man, I'm down over by Radium down in Columbia Valley and I worked a 12 hour shift at the saw mill and it was brutal out there. We had saw dust smouldering from the heat so I had to run around and spray down all of the saw dust every twenty minutes, it was ridiculous hot.

And it looks like some kind of upside down bumper to me, although I have no idea to be honest.

And does the 323 overflow plumbing vary considerably from the MX3 plumbing?

Dude that is hot... Talk about scary to see... That saw dust could spark up at anytime then you'd be in a lot of trouble...

Non of my drive train is 323 related anymore.. The 323's were only ever 4 cylinders with much smaller rad then an Mx3... The Mx3 rads how ever are to wide to fit between a 323's head lights...

The bumper isn't upside down by any stretch...

Also wondering if anyone has tried adapting this Mx3 master cylinder to a shorter/thinner booster to trying and get clearance to fit a Straight neck ZE??

Yeah it was pretty bad.

ANd I though you had retained the overflow haha.



There was a mod where you would swap in an mx-6 brake booster since they're thinner.

I believe us as your RS brothers have smaller more sleeker one

Talk to wytbishop or read through his worklog. He used an mx-6 booster. The RS booster won't work with the GS master (according to what he had discovered).

Well today I finished off modifying my cooling system.. I am happy with the results so far.. I wont know if it solves my air pocket/over heating issues for a while but for now everything is working like it should.. The nice thing about converting over to this system is that it frees up room to mount my eaton m90 over top of the transmission and create a shaft drive system..

New engine bay look..


I just had to mock up the supercharger to check it out... I will need to relocate the over flow tank/coil pack and do some fancy work with the lower rad hose for clearance, but that is all going to be a lot easier then what I was trying to do before..

find eaton without snout

If you have any info past it along... I haven't figured out how to make this m90 or find one thats shorter with out buying a big dollar aftermarket unit or custom milling my own snout for it..

Eaton M90 with short snout:

search from Jaguar XJR or Aston-Martin DB7

or go with eaton m62 - i thing still is easiest way to fit on AC bracket.

Yeah I forgot about that one... I have not found one of them for a reasonable price or anything that I can afford on a budget.. Thats why I went with the ford super coupe version...

I have ruled out the M62 because what I am after in terms of boost and performance is on the limit of what the m62 can handle....

I picked up a new toy yesterday... This weekends autocross double header is going to be very informative..

My new toy.. Not the phone but the program on it... Solo Storm by Patrel data.


This program has been developed by a local autocross racer. It uses a blue tooth GPS tracking button to plot out your run.. It logs your autocross run, capturing video, g forces, speed.. If you have a blue tooth OBD 2 dongle it can capture rpms and throttle position as well.. The program allows you to quickly compare 2 runs, break the course down into section and analize all the data quickly while you sit in grid waiting for your next run..

Wow, that s pretty nice toy. Sound like one heck of a pick up, good luck with it.

That us sweet!!! That should help u out a ton... Pretty cool

Autocross was a blast again today... I took a tone of video.. The data logger worked great, it helped me pick up almost 1/2 a second in time between my morning and afternoon runs.. I am going threw all my video, but for now here is a fun one.. My front suspension in action..

Take notice to how unweighted the front tire gets in some corners... This is where a clutch type limited slip diff works better then a torsen style... Putting power down when the tire is that unweighted will make a torsen style diff act like an open diff, especially when you start making more then stock power levels..
