What have you done to your non-mazda today?

[aMaff]

I got better mileage than that in the Mustang!

Eh, to be honest I'm surprised it's that good. It's high strung, crazy short geared engine / drivetrain. 6th gear at 80 is @ 4500 RPM. On the up-side, when you hit the throttle going up a hill on the interstate in top gear, it will actually do something, as opposed to the protege which would usually just stay the same speed lol

I bought the set of im gaskets and 4 ngk plugs and a nice sri filter for my dsm/eclipse, now I have to install them and I will soon buy a radiator for it too and hopefully it will be back on the road in the next month as a daily driver so I can park the van and take care of the problems I have with the van.

Started fitting the FMIC.

 

[jonridinhi]

Got the engine mount plate ands misc. interior panels. Filled the mounts with urethane now time to put the engine mounts in and drop the axles to drop the tranny.

 

[jonridinhi]

Finally got a day free enough to drop the tranny out of it. The torque convertor is shot. (bang)

Been working on seat mounts.

 

[sephiroth]

Replaced two driver side doors, the driver side front fender and the trunk to repair half of the $8,000 worth of hail damage. All for less than $600 because I 'know people'

 

[freekwonder]

Got my seats all mounted.

LOL, all this discussion about fuel economy. I drove from Cinci, OH to Blacksburg, VA and back last weekend in my '09 Tacoma and averaged 19.23 mpg there and 20.25 mpg on the way back with the A/C. Average speed was a little under 70 mph. Not too bad considering it's rated 14/19. GIve me a flat highway and a 60 mph speed limit and I'm sure I could hit 22-24 mpg, haha!

Weight reduction ????(shrug)

I don't think those pictures were quite big enough. You can't quite see them with the naked eye from outer space...

 

[Speed3B]

Doing a complete rebuild on the car?

Whats your list of Fixes/upgrades?

It is all about the details.

Yes but not on that car. I also got a 95 Talon. It had a bad torque convertor. So i bought the donor car in the pic (97 eclipse) for $220 with a blown motor and a manual trans. Parting out what i do not need. But in the process i got to swap wiring harness and everything (absolutly everything) to convert the 95 auto to run a 97 manual ecu. I put new bearings, oil pump, injectors, plugs, hoses and new gaskets in the talon. I am staying with the 420A and not going for the 4G63. I hate DSM nothing is interchangeable. Building it to be my daily so i can take the MP3 off the road for KL swap. Atleast i should break even on this project.

Well what I did not do was work on the eclipse instead I walked by it and told it to go f@k it self and then I changed the spark plugs on my van.

 

[jonridinhi]

If you need parts let me know. I got dang near everything. LOL
