MF Official Mazda of the Month (December)

[Dragon Queen]

What are the power numbers??? I gots ta KNOWZ!!!

 

[Shadow102]

i am guessing almost 300whp and 40ft lbs of torque? (jk probably almost 200ft lbs of torque?)

 

[MazdaManiac]

Way past 300hp, though I gots no proof.
One of my last cars was right at 300 and this thing blows it away in every measure.
I'm gonna go to the dyno pretty soon, so we'll see.

 

[Shadow102]

how did you tune it without running it on the dyno?

 

[Revenant]

go jeff!

^^he's a genius.

You should not tune a street car on the dyno. The dyno is just a fine tuning tool and used for bragging rights.

All of the tuning values should be computed first using the formulas I outlined in the tuning thread on this forum and then adjusted on the street with datalogs and a wide band.

^^he's a genius.

More of an idiot savant, but thanks Breezy!

Congratz Jeff!

 

[fastdreams]

Wow, that's veddy nice. Congrats on the W.

Are there more exterior pics? I'd like to see the lines of the car with the doors closed. The stance and wheel choice looks great.

Also is there a build thread with the turbo upgrade?

jealousy does not begin to describe what I'm feeling right now. Do you have the 1st & 4th shots in high res say 1024 x 768? I would be most appreciative.

 

[CantCMe]

Damn...love the pics. Again, congrats!!

I am no expert but we tune our cars on the road as well. We hook up the laptop and go driving
Nice ride. What kind of mileage do you get?
Just curious.

Thanks...

Yep, that is pretty much it. Only my "laptop" is built into the car.

I get about 15 in regular, day-to-day driving, 26 on the highway and 6 when racing.
I average about 220 on a 14 gallon tank since I do a bit of all three, all the time.

 

[Flashwing]

Very well deserved MM. Congrats on the win!

 

[altspace]

Cheers mate! Now we have two 8's for the calendar.

 

[brokenman]

Congrats Jeff!

Jeff's car is amazing and he's class act, he's helped lots of people with building their cars in AZ.

 

[fastdreams]

Ah yes thank you! I'm now very happy in pants.

 

[Blackrose]

Wow I love this pic and I normally hate the lambo doors. Your RX looks like a Falcon that just got done diving into its prey. The pic with the lambo doors open that is. Big congrats.
