    1987 323... info please

    Only one downfall the the F2T, no LSD came stock. There is a Capella that came stock with an LSD, but its a super rare version, only 300 are said to exist. I've went through 2 trannies in my MX-6s, and to think, the built engine/turbo isnt even swapped in yet! -Tyler

    Mazda 2.5 and Ford 2.5

    The 3 versions of the KL are virtually the same, only minor differences (compression ratio, valvetrain etc). The 3L Vulcan is a V6 with the cam in the block. The Duratecs are OHC engines. So in essence, they're all different with similar displacement numbers and nothing else. -Tyler

    Turbo install this weekend

    Most Mazdas 5-speed trannies are nothing but 4-speeds with an OD. I know of many MX-6s that have blew their near bulletproof F2Ts in 5th treating it as an extra gear going 130+mph. As long as your not at WOT for too long, I wouldnt worry too much about it. I only go into 5th when I'm at a...

    Mazda 2.5 and Ford 2.5

    Theres 3 versions of KLs found in MX-6s/Probes/626s between 93-97. The KL03, KLDE, and the JDM KLZE. These are all Mazda built and designed engines. The 1G Probe (89-92) had a Ford engine in the some of the LXs, the 3L Vulcan. The Duratecs are Ford designed, but some Mazda assembled. And...

    mp3 vs 2.5rs

    I think the main factor in this race would be the road chosen. If its a very windy road where you cant get over, say 40-45mph, the Subie might take it. Subie has a little bit more torque down low with AWD to help it out. Driving a boosted car isnt always the easiest thing to do in hard...

    Who Was It?

    Not as far as I know. I'm going from personal experiences where I've gotten tickets sent to me via ground mail with a ticket to pay. Call to only find it it was an undercover. And for the amount of time we were on 95S, I wouldnt be surprised if we flew by a few, or twelve. -Tyler

    Who Was It?

    Last night down 95S. It was a black MSP that appeared to be stock appearance wise (exhaust, no FMIC, wheels). Had RI plates on it as well. Chances are they had no idea what it was from the looks I could gather from him, but it was the black 2 door coupe if it helps! I think he was heading...

    Nepoc FS: rims/EBC/TT

    Just out of curiosity, what are you looking to get for the wheels? Any pics of them on your MX-6, would like to see a pic if you had one. Seeing as thats what they'd be going on for me as well. Dont wanna lowball you, just wondering a ballpark price. -Tyler

    My 626

    Beautiful MX-6/626, with the coveted FE3! I own a couple myself. Go to MX6.com in the 1G section. Theres a section named FE-DOHC on the mainpage with amny running sick setups. Or I'd gladly trade wngines with ya lol. The front lip Mazkid speaks of is this one...

    Score are in: Northeast STILL has the dumbest drivers

    If you live in RI, you'd want to buy a DD for the sole fact of drivers around here. I drove behind an old lady (I think the cop said she was like 75) who side scraped a parked car and continued to drive as if nothing happened. I continued to follow her while calling the cops. Even though she...

    Turbo install this weekend

    If you need a hand Firday or Saturday let me know Justin. I would've offered to help earlier in the week, but I've been doing semesters worth of HW and studying for the finals I have this week. I can bring any tools you could possibly need. -Tyler

    build-a-turbo

    So you'd rather have a T3/T4 setup push 250hp at 4psi and have massive amounts of lag? That makes sense. I've read 2 setups on here saying T3/T4 was too big and they downgraded and are happy with a T3. And why's it cheap, because when you buy it it doesnt come bubble wrapped and shiny? -Tyler

    build-a-turbo

    Why people spend $1000+ on a turbo kit is beyond me. For the shrot time I've been around here, it seems the upgrades seem to be T3s, if so go take your box of tools to the nearest Pick-Your-Part. Go look for a xr4ti and rob the T3 60 trim off it. I got one for a mere $75, rebuild kits on ebay...

    Anyone with knowledge on early 80's 626's

    If you want to do something unique pay attention, because you'd be the first personal to have a RWD F2T. B2200 transmission or an RX-7 TII with the top casing of a Ford Econoline (the old terrorist lookin vans) transmission from the late 70s early 80s and use an F2T engine. It will bolt right...

    where are the 1st gen mx6 gt's?

    You're kidding me right? I've been on that forum for almost 3 years. Half the people that join within the 1G section only care about strapping a boost controller on it and blowing it up without taking care of any problems first. Theres not too many people on the forum that are serious about...

    '89 B2200 info.

    Easier said than done. The B2200 uses an 8V where as the F2/F2T uses the 12V. You cant just simply use the 12V head on the B2200 block, the firewall is in the way of the distribtor. Unless you want to cut it and have no heater core. I would suggest just running Megasquirt and using the 12V...
