Sick to my stomach

Does this mean you're leaving kristin, or possibly stepping down as a mod?

Not stepping down yet, like I said, this will take a minute. I have to replace petty pieces in the car and put it all back to stock. I have a good bit of demodding to do and rebuilding.

I'm just one who got smart all the sudden.

i hope that smart stays cuz going to cars like toilet paper is definately not smart. (fuoops)

post some mods and prices you might have available.

 

[jimmybrite]

what you needed in the first place was a cheap good cond car to mod and try it out, instead of modding an almost brand new car and voiding your warranty.

so, um did you ever find out what's actually wrong with the car, or are we so far OT that it doesn't matter anymore?...

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

aparently she's made up her mind before finding out...

i think that's the point...

Are those WOT with all the plugs out?

From the manual:
Standard: 209psi / 14.7bar
Minimum: 146psi / 10.29bar (10.5kg/cm^2)
Minimum difference between cylinders: 24psi

 

[k-lea]

That's all plugs in but one.

 

[MAZDASPEED MX5]

The engine should be warm, all the plugs out for the test and the throttle plate should be open. I imagine your numbers will increase by 20-25psi.

WOT? Why would that matter for a compression check?

(and I think you mean 24psi MAX difference between cylinders, no?)

WOT is easy enough to do and it confirms that the cylinders can breathe freely from the open intake manifold. And yes, I meant to type maximum not minimum.

REAL tuners tough it out. (glare)

Did you run the comp test yet? Don't make any decisions until you do.

There's a chance your WB sensor is wrong, after all. Being as you SMELL fuel at idle yet you run a 15:1 AFR...it doesn't really add up.

And I hit 9.2:1 AFR under boost and don't smell gas.. Wait so that pic you posted a while back with the drippy out the tailpipe wasn't just condensation from running the air conditioner? I didn't think it was really fuel.

:'( poor MSM. I don't know if I would be able to stay in the game if the car was giving me that much trouble either. Now we're both without our Mazdas.

But on the bright side, you don't have to drive a Pontiac G5 coupe around for weeks

so sorry about your car. I guess it's too late to just put it back to stock if you're willing to give up. I hope if my modding ever goes far enough to cause reliability issues I can just unmod it a bit and keep the car around.

..I agree with Dana. I've never done a compression test like that.

BUT YUNO, I am a chick, so what do I know, right?

the GTO is siqqqqqqq.

if you get one, pretty please do a monaro front end conversion? it's straight sex without the pontiac rebadge

 

[gimpo2]

hahah do whatever you can to make the GTO look australian.

I don't really like the Monaro rear end. It just doesn't please me as much at the GTO. I do know, that they have a nice abundance of CF..

ANND..

That bad boy. (Crap..)
I've been speaking to a lot of the guys on the LS1GTO/LS2GTO forums to get the "low-down" so far the car has nothing super wrong with it other than the Miata can have bigger back wheels than the GTO. They can only get to 8.5 and possibly squeeze a 9. WTF, Pontiac? Also, I'm sure you guys ALL know of the tire wear situation where the strut tears the inside of the tire, well, only one shipment was damaged with that defect due to them being in the boat for so long. Something like that..
