Welcome to the V6 forum!

[David Coleman]

I'm very glad to have this forum opened to the public. I no longer have to be the bad guy in the For sale forum closing what would be good technical discussions. I or one of the other knowledgable members of this board will try to answer your questions as best as possible. So post away and get some good stuff going!<P>David Coleman<BR>1993 Mazda MX-3 GS SE<BR><B><I>Moderator</I> of this Forum</B><BR>

Ahh yes, I have yet again slipped into my habits of not finishing my sentences.<P>It was supposed to read:<BR><B>Will blow with less than 150bhp if you're not a <I>gentle shifter</I>*cough*me*cough*.</B><P>Basically, I blew my gearbox from speedshifting. My 3/4 shifter fork broke so it couldn't be pulled out of 3rd. That was 99% directly related to banging into 4th. I dont have tons of power [140bhp would suprise me], it was just rough treatment of the gearbox. No more 7800RPM WOT shifting on the street for me!<BR><P>------------------<BR>David Coleman- <B><I>Moderator</B></I><BR><A HREF="http://www.PinkMX-3.com" TARGET=_blank>1993 Mazda MX-3 GS Special Edition</A><BR><B><I>Why get clear tail lights when only Geo Metros are gonna see them?</I></B>
