Thanx Vic! Obviously they are not BJ experts but hey, 4 years after the intro of the car, it's time we got a Speed Pro in a major mag!

Congrulations!

I see that on page 126 they refer to a 2001 "Mazdaspeed Protege 3", I take it they mean the MP3 . lol, I am pretty sure MP3 doesn't stand for that (doh) .

Also congrats for getting on the mag. Your car has always been an inspiration for me, and is a beautiful work of art.

 

[Pirana]

thank you!! you are right, I told them MP3 and they made up the Mazdaspeed Protege 3, other mistake is that even though I told them the car had a Toichi Fuji LSD, they assume that I installed it.

Hell yeah! This is the only magazine I am subscribed to. I have always liked the magazine but it is overloaded w/ Evos and STIs. Nice to see a MSP grace their pages. Look foward to getting the May edition.

well vic it was going to be one of us that got in and even though i wish it was me i am so damn proud of your car and what you have done that i cant be upset with ya. i'll be expecting a pm with your addy so i can send you a copy for you to sign and ship back to me.

see you at NOPI this year? i might have a lil surprise for you too.

 

[Pirana]

Man, you know without you guys, I would have been lost at NOPI, so thanks and props to you too...and cant wait to see what you are coming up with!!!

275whp was the last dyno on 12psi on 103 octane...lots of tuning on that map, and very aggresive. As you can expect, not an everyday map. What JDM Sam did is use MapB as the race fuel map using timing. He is very good. Fuel ratio and egts were monitored extensively to do it safe...as most know, my car has over 15k on this maps, and still nothing has ever broken. We are going more aggresive now with the use of a Haltec E8 and trying to push at least 300whp on race gas, on stock internals, just to prove it can be done. After HIN this summer, is a full engine/turbo/tranny built to push it over 400whp on 93oct. I know that if we can break the 400whp (which has been done already) we can feature the car on Dsport...which is my next goal.

Vic
