Shops in Calgary

[Maxx Mazda]

Rims are 3 seasons old, I got my machine work done at presice engine rebuilders, and for fuel management I'm running a Haltech Standalone.

 

[Alamo1]

Hence the "guru"... Do you tune your car as well? Or do you have somebody else do it? Does the haltech have it's own software that you can hook up a laptop to?

 

[Maxx Mazda]

I tune myself on the dyno and street. Yes, it has a laptop based software.

 

[Alamo1]

I know I'm asking alot of questions Maxx, but I hope you'll bear with me....

I'm trying to see if I can get part numbers for engine internals, so I can see if my cousin in cali can get me a better deal than what I've got going now... which is none. Will you give some specs and #'s off what you're running for rods and pistons?

 

[Maxx Mazda]

Pauter rods, and I went from Arias pistons to CP this season.

 

[90210brandon]

(omg)
to believe it's seven years old is wrong.

He called it hot and tight. Snicker...

 

[mspeedP5]

and I went from Arias pistons to CP this season.

What made you change?

 

[Maxx Mazda]

The fact that I've gone through 4 sets of Arias already... Also I find alot of the machined edges to be really sharp and not chamfered.

And I've heard about issues with the squirters and arias as well. Did you contemplate wiseco before going with CP?

 

[Maxx Mazda]

Yes, but Wiesco refuses to make a piston for us in 8.5:1 ratio anymore, so I went custom CP. It's my own custom profile.

The Arias squirter issue was fixed LONG ago.

Make sure they're MSP rotors. They're bigger than the stock P5 ones.

 

[geomatics_tech]

I bought brakes from Tri-Point and it was under half the cost of what the dealership quoted me, and for better parts.
