[1ofdfew323]

men u took ur aa/c off? damn i want a/c for my 323 but it'll cost me $1,500 and thats toomuch...soo my p5 can keep up w/ the mp3 then...kool!

 

[jjac28]

i always thought the mp3 with its 140hp was faster but it seems like they run side by side!

 

[atxpro5]

hmmmmm 17's at 87? i was in the 16.2's at 79-84 with my p5. whats up with that?

u can do MUCH better than 2.45 i would think, i pull 2.3's all day long but my best 1/4 is 17.0 @ 87

trapspeed doesnt mean a whole lot, what were ur 60 foots? whats ur elevation? and that was supposed to be 78mph lol oops my newest time is 16.8 @ 81.5 at 1500 ft above sea level

 

[Auzzie_Mp3]

took mine to the track last night heres the results

not exactly what i was hoping for but better than usual (usual is 17.0-17.2) and i got a new best r/t with .513 so im happy. See what i can do with better motor mounts, obx header, sparkco plug wires.

r/t = .513 that is really good,
my best run was 16.5 @ 83 with an r/t of .690

ya i wasn't sure, just talking out of my ass. What are the stock 1/4 times for both? Car and Driver anyone?

I didn't know our cars have different motor mounts than the P5. I ripped my rear one hehe. Wating for thw AWR's to get here.

Motor Trend's # are these:

01 Mazda Mp3- 0-60 8.6 sec 1/4 16.8 sec 82mph
02 Mazda P5- 0-60 8.84 sec 1/4 16.8 sec 82mph

Its pretty much identical so its a drivers race. I know Car and Driver recorded
the 02 P5 at 0-60 @9.2 sec and 1/4 @ 17.1 sec @ 81 mph. Its a close race between the P5 and MP3. The 91 Protege 1.8 (Bp) is still the fastest n/a Protege. Most Magazines clocked it at 0-60 in 8sec and 1/4 @ 16.3 @84mph.

i've got 16.7

I've got a heads up display system that measures your quarter-mile time.. It count's you down.. 3-2-1 then you go.. it beeps at 1/4 mile and gives your high speed and time and compares it to the other 3 highest times.

Now i just need more speed

 

[SpicyMchaggis]

breaking into 15's n/a is tricky buisness..i'm at 15.6 @ 89..thats in a dx though..it takes a lot of work and a lot of practice.

 

[Kooldino]

15.6? Was that at the track?

 

[Gen1GT]

Ok, what's going on here? Are you guys telling me there are two all-motor Proteges faster than me? Spicey, when did you do this run? And why haven't you and VizaX posted on this site yet?

http://www.dragtimes.com/browse3.php?carmake=Mazda&carmodel=Protege

I THOUGHT I was the fastest all-motor Protege, but it looks as though I'm mistaken. It's all good though....cam gears are in to tune the custom intake cam, should put me over the 120whp mark and down to 15.5....

Now that I know I'm not the fastest, it's time to double the efforts. I was resting on my laurels assuming I was, so I won't be happy with worse than 15.4 in less than a month....

 

[SpicyMchaggis]

your definetly not the fastest..I was pulling 15.8-9's like a month ago up at lebanon..I haven't been to a track in a bit..I did a g-tech pull at a 15.6. We'll see how it goes when i get the car back with the new motor.

 

[SpicyMchaggis]

and that was on toasted potenzas..I just got fresh falkens and a lot of new work in the car..I should be at 15.5's.

 

[Gen1GT]

Bah, cheeky monkey.....G-Tech times don't count.

And Azenis won't help your times any....sidewalls are WAAAAY too stiff. I've been using them for my drag days, and my best 60' is 2.279.

BTW, I was at 15.9 TWO months ago.....As it stands, the only one faster is VizaX, and that time should fall soon. And the thing is, his car is as built as you can get without opening it up. It'll be interesting to see how your new engine does though....

....and oh ya...when it comes to drag times, only drag slips count.

 

[SpicyMchaggis]

trust me i know. I should be able to take him. I think just for spite i'll get a pair of cheater proxies and see what it will do..but what is VizaX running? I mean if my competition is a '93 protege..its apples and oranges..The only other guys I know who are on the east coast and running n/a 3rd gens are justin (xelderx) and akhillus..and i dropped justin like a prom dress in june..haha..that jersey meet was intensity in 10 cities.

 

[Kooldino]

ViZax is in PA...he run a 15.6 or so.

 

[Gen1GT]

I'm not saying we're ever going to race head-to-head. I mean that when you go to the strip, and you get a faster time than me, it's the slip I'll want see. (wrc)

 

[SpicyMchaggis]

so i have to beat a 15.6 to be the fastest..pssah..said and done..this will be fun...haha..what is VizaX driving?

 

[Gen1GT]

hehe, competition breeds sucess. VizaX is running 15.5 I believe. When's your new engine going to be in?

I'm installing my cam gears tomorrow, and once I get some dyno time, I'll be back out at the track.
