Just ordered my new trz dog bone rear mount and transmission mount can't wait to install to see the difference hope they are worth it

 

[Rotus]

I think they are worth it. Those 2 pieces will make the car feel more lively when you twitch the fun foot.

 

[MSFANATIC]

Hope so but it sucks though had surgery on my arm today so there won't be no shifting for me until my arm is fully recovered

Dyno'd Shamu today. Was extremely impressed and blown away with the results. 264 WHP and 280 TQ. Almost the exact same CHP stock but to the wheels. ETS top mount, CP-e intake and Cobb catback. I'll post up a pic of it in my build thread tomorrow or Sunday. This weekend is absolutely awesome.

well im not sure what happened to my second gear, i havnt had any issues with it but once i hit 100,000 miles the no longer goes into gear just grinds and refuses to go into second, but sometimes i can down shift into to from 3rd but not always. should i change my fluid? ive never had any issue with it, i dont beleive it could be a synchro.

 

[blackmagik]

i have a rmm with a 80 durometer, could the transmision mount break and cause this? or maybe an adjustment somewhere other than the shifter? i dont know....

 

[MM BOOST]

ordered my wheels yesterday, and they arrived today. Wow, fastest shipping. Ever. And they look beautiful. I will post up a pic soon. Went and got a HTC Incredible 2 tonight, so I can finally take some good pics.

 

[8.5MS3]

found a bracket by the fuel pump that was broken off, both screws snapped. no idea how it happened


so all my fuel sensors were not grounded, which apparently is the reason why ive been going nuts the last few weeks looking for boost and exhaust leaks that arent there....

i hate this car sometimes

 

[Rotus]

whoa, were you getting a code? I've been looking for intake leaks.

 

[8.5MS3]

No codes.

Running rich in vacuum
Running lean in boost
Rev hang
Running rich between shifts
Fuel trims all over the place


Not fun

Had to jump the battery after letting it sit for only four days. Anyone know the CCA of the OEM battery?

Electrical gremlins can be brutal. And cause much tail chasing in these modern systems.
I feel your pain brother, i really do. But i sure hope your mazdaspeed experience brightens up now.

Today or yesterday a stockish 1st gen red speed 3 passed me rather quickly. Man those are nice sounding cars going away. Dont look bad either

 

[blackmagik]

wet sanded buffed polished then waxed followed by a wash. during process removed vinyl from around the windows, looks soo much better!

Worked the inside lip of my passenger side fender this morning. Cracked the paint on the edge. I'm ******* pissed.

 

[blackmagik]

dammmnnnnn! im scared to roll fenders.

 

[Domino81]

It's not too hard. I used a rubber mallet. I should have used a heat gun. Where in Syr are you?

 

[blackmagik]
