Yaris drivers don't get to talk.

 

Street racer don't get to talk neither.

Oh wait, street racer get to WALK LOL

 

 

Since there will be both you and DarkBrew doing fluids, but he wont be at the meet however, you would need 5 bottles between you. You will both need 2 bottles for sure, and half of the other. We'l use half of the half to run thrhough the tranny after we empty your existing, and then fill her up. I'm gonna check with my guy today, 5 bottles he would just give me a cash deal, and not write up a invoice with taxes. He didnt for me, when I picked up 4 bottles from him. But when I went to pick up 12 from him he did, but then again, thats 12, which was his entire stock at the time.

In terms of hard evidence, pm WCS, hes local. Also ask mysql on the forum, and Jedi54. He was using Royal Purple, then his tranny went kaput, got himself a new tranny and is now using Redline.

 

Cool man,

I'll just bring a wad of cash and pay ya whatever it was. Thanks for all the info again.

 

No Problemo.

 

Just to give a heads up, they'll be another Miata owner joining us. He's a work collegue who picked up a 2nd Gen Miata.
He's got a few things he wants installed too. Not too crazy. But he wants to check out some of the stuff we'll be installing.

So we're good to start around 10:45-11am?

 

I'm gonna try to be there for that time. Should be good for it.

 

I have been running RP for a year.. No problems at all. It's noticeably better then the dino-oil that the dealer uses. I don't know where you get the idea that RP is breaking transmissions but I don't believe it. I am sure if you look around you'll find people who have blown transmissions while running Redline as well.

 

^^^ RP blows
Of course we can find stories indicating that either product causes trans failure.
However in my own unscientific way I believe I've seen more RP failure examples, of course I'm biased.

I do also have my own experience which I will standby till the end.

 

^^^ You remind me of a friend who refuses to eat at Harvey's because he got sick after eating a burger in 1978.

 

I wasn't even born yet in 1978

 

Have fun with the install meet!!

Wish I could have made it.

Cheers!

 

lol agent008

 

lol its funny cause its true

 

Issues after install:

- CEL still there. Cobb still reads P0103 - MAF sensor input high.
- DSC warning light still on.
- Engine "flutters" during acceleration. Doesn't seem to happen when WOT.
- If left idling, car will stall after a minute or less.

I'm gonna clean the MAF sensor and see if there's any improvement. May have to do a battery reset as well.

 

Thanks for all the help guys. I apologize for leaving so early. It looked like you guys had another 3-4hrs of work, easy.

The rear body roll is gone. The car rides better now. Amazing what the rear bar has done. The car doesn't shutter as much when you go over huge ruts or pot holes. It's funny to watch the front end try to roll while the rear tries to compensate as much as possible.

The horn is fantastic. I'm no longer ashmed to use it. I think I'll order one for the FD. I think I'll ask for one for Christmas.

My next service interval is coming up quick. I"m only 1k away. I'll tell them to install the front bar while they're doing the oil change.

Thief,

I've got your glasses. The next time we meet I'll give them to you.

Agent008,

I'm going to give you a call later on in the day. I think I'll be able to swing by and pick up my watch.

So the next major thing I'll be saving for are the Mazdaspeed springs and hopefully the Mazdaspeed bumpers/side skirts.

Pros,

Let me know when you get the parts in. We'll meet up. Hopefully you'll be able to get it before you go to the cottage.

Thanks again for everyhting guys!

 

Thief,

Things you should do right away

1) ECU flash to latest revision
2) don't touch the COBB yet
3) battery reset
4) clean MAF sensor

remember I did the battery reset once, and then left the car idling for a good 10 minutes. It never stalled there.

The ECU needs to re-learn the AFR ratios with the MAF. It needs to be driven at various speeds for several minutes.

 

Pics of the meet or BAN!

Sorry i couldnt make it fellas, i was too busy giving the OLG my money yesterday at the Casino.

 

Well, I attempted to install the rear sway bar today.. But the driver side nut was so tight that I ended up stripping the allan key hole from the end-link. Now I need a new end-link.

 

Nothing ever goes the way you plan it! Sucks to hear.
The sway bars are harder than anyone thinks. There's nothing too the part itself, it's getting the bloody thing installed that's the problem.

I'm going to call up Mazda later today to schedule my 16000km service. I'll get them to install the front sway bar while they're at it.

 

Did all that except for ECU flash. It's still the same. Not as BAD, but same symptoms. Davy says that the "fluttering" noise I'm hearing could be a misfire. But I'd rather use the ScanGauge to check that than the Cobb.

 

You'll have to wait till I am back to help you with the scangauge thing.

 

I did comment on that very same day after the install while I was revving the engine in neutral with no load and on jack stands, just at low rpms like 2000 - 3000rpm, there is popping fluttering sound. Someone then dispelled that saying that is how the Greddy SP2 is like?

It didn't sound right to me.

 

BTW, your trip odometer "A" was 110.8 km.
