Everyone's Running a KLZE...
Posted: May 21st, 2009, 4:31 am
I'm just trying to start up a discussion about one of my pet peaves...the fact that half of the mx3 owners out there claim to run a KLZE...now i know there are quite a few who are indeed, but has anyone else stopped to realize just how many probably aren't?? I myself have tried to source a ZE here in europe...out of the 4 sources talked to, 3 were trying to push a KLDE as a ZE...Now I know I'm not retarded enough to be fooled by this, as i have done quite a bit of research to educate myself on how to tell the difference between the two, as have alot of others. But I'm wondering just how many owners out there really know for certain if they are running a DE or ZE??? Especially some of our fellow members who constantly post tech questions without checking first to see if the topic is already created or if there is an FAQ for it.
Now don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with running a KLDE. In fact, when my K8 does finally crap out, that is going to be my first choice. But if your'e running a DE, then just list it as a DE. Don't try to jump in with the in crowd and say it's something that it's not.
Does this annoy the hell outta anyone else out there???? I just want to know that I'm not alone on this.
And also food for thought, just because it came out of a RHD car, doesn't mean that it's gotta be JDM!!! One sure fire way to check if a RHD vehicle is J-spec or British Spec is the speedo cluster...if it's MPH, it's Brit, likewise, if it's in KPH, then it's JDM.
