Damn what a cool setup, I really dig that water-to-air intercooler. Not a huge fan of KL swaps like most people are but it's definitely different, people love engine swaps. There was a 240sx at the local meet last week with a 2JZ that used to have an RB25, and a 350Z with a single-turbo 1JZ

Thanks, it was a science project. I learned a lot, enjoyed the process, and then was ready to move on. I haven't heard from the guy that bought the car in a couple years. He was really going nuts with it, I should try to get in touch and see what ever came of the car.

Sigh, yeah... me too. Wish the Mazda community was more connected. I feel like Valk, Zealous, I, you, Pope, and OThree.5 are the only ones that post. Lol

Need to find and fix an exhaust leak on 1574 that has been getting louder the past couple days. And fix the hot pipe again as it popped off again last night. Just want the car to be reliable like it should be, it felt really fast last night so I know the car is making power it just needs a proper tune.

I'm down to commit and let you guys know everything that happens to the msp. The tapatalk app helps too. I recommend it.
Me too...
I sort of agree. I like that most of the people that post on here are actually intelligent. There are a lot of "stupid" people on the more busy forums.

Honestly that's why I can't be on the protege or MSP facebook groups for too long. People post the nastiest riced-out POS cars and ask about the dumbest mods and then everyone commenting posts how much they love it!? I can't support it

Today I've been working removing the old adhesive from the front rear bumpers and from the removal of the wing.
I also need to check my A/C compressor clutch make sure it's working. As I am going to recharge the A/C

This is why I like this forum! Its helpful and there is no stupid replies and its just straight awesome people!
I agree with basically everything said over the last two pages..
I noticed when I joined that the MSP portions of the forum are dying, besides a few of us.. Over on the FB pages, they are HATING on 247.. IDK why really, no one had a real reason for saying that this forum sucks. The last "mod" I saw over on the FB page was 3M caulk filling the motor mounts. LOL. It sounds legit.
I post a lot though.. and I will keep my thread going.. and I try to keep my eye open for ya'lls stuff too..

Well cleaned the adhesive from the front bumper and from the trunk lid. The rear bumper was a different story the adhesive was much more dried out and I need something stronger then WD-40 to remove it. A/C clutch works, I ran a test lead from the battery it engaged no problem. know just waiting for a new drier and I will pull vac and recharge the system.
Get "Goo-Off". It's the best adhesive remover I've ever used. It got off dried duct tape glue baked on for at least 5 summers. It comes in an aerosol can or as a regular liquid bottle.
