    Porsche Now Controls VW

    Nio, this is rather unusual. A ~18000 people company buys a major share on a ~300000 people company. One reason is historical, the Piech family is related to the Porsche family, so now it's real family business. Second, Porsche made too much profit and had to buy something. Third, there may come...

    Ethanol poisoning my engine

    You must see the alternatives: there are none. Besides, from the engineering point it's far superior. It burns without any major by-products, and best of all, 120 octane. You could boost it as far as you like. Just normal engines are designed for gas not for alcool. If they are (as most swedish...

    WTB: Protege intake manifold - int'l

    I'm looking for an intake manifold off the 2.0l FS engine (VICS, VTCS). One of these things the turbo guys throw out. As complete as possible, with injectors, fuel rail, pressure regulator, actuators, vacuum switches and lines. Possibly also its EGR pipe. Seller should ship to Germany and...

    FS-DE Oil System

    Wasn't it a bad idea measuring oil pressure at the oil filter? I learned it would be better to put the sensor where the pressure switch is up in the block. This way the real pressure on its way to the cams is measured instead of the oil pump pressure.

    Problems with a forum sale Sadly, I seem to encounter a problem. I bought an item off the For Sale Area a month ago and payed for with paypal. Seller agreed to int'l shipping beforehand. After, he sent some pm that he's in a hurry and ships the item in the next days. Since 3 weeks, I don't get...

    Own a Mazda MX-6? Post Your Pics!

    Parts of it. I stripped the seats. Sewing was done by a professional according to the old seat fabrics. Then I put it back on (and installed also the pneumatic shape changing modules off a Ford Probe). Also did some foam modifications to get a more comfortable fit. Luckily, these seat fabrics...

    Own a Mazda MX-6? Post Your Pics!

    :) No, not quite. I had some spare money from a car accident. Used it the right way, to get rid of these once-been-blue interior. Middle is sand colored alcantara with brown leather sides. One in a while I do some more parts. Next ones may be dashboard.

    How To: 2.0 Header Installation

    The problem not getting out O2sensors ist quite common if they aren't inserted with some copper grease. The repair manual suggests to first cover its wires with some masking tape making sure nothing can penetrate there. Then spray it (on cold exhaust(pow)) with WD40 or stuff. Let it soak in then...

    That makes sense. It's sometimes hard to get used to some forum slang. Hopefully my first to-protege-conversion project starts soon. I bought an intake manifold from Packerfan. I'll see if my ECU loves larger injectors(bike). Lots of port&polish ahead the next weeks

    Yes, I check the for sale section frequently. Shipping is a lot around half the world and most sellers won't like the hazzle. Anyway, a noob question, what's thatsubbin all about in some threads?

    Thank you, I'm Roland. And I do hope to learn more. My car runs the FS engine, where their successors are in some Proteges. Some other parts (bigger brakes I heard) will fit aswell. So I'm slowly converting it to Protege(lol2). First one would be intake manifold. Then maybe the 1.8 pistons with...

    New from Germany

    I just want to say hello to everyone. I drive a 94 Mazda MX6: So far, I switched interior for custom leather, lowered and put larger wheels on. Larger means also larger diameters, 205/60R16 making 7% less rpm for the same speed. Currently, I'm looking to catch up that wheel power loss with...
