Just bought two new Kayaks for me and my wife lots of good trips as you well know

 

Your welcome, and I have plenty of time. Still on breakin mileage.

 

that's why you're getting such good gas mileage isn't it??

 

Yes, driving like grandma must be it. I have rarely taken it over 4K, maybe hit 5K a couple of times. But there is NO fun in driving this way!!

 

i'm sure it's not no fun. at least your car is running, right?

hey Gripen, should i order the level sensor for us?

53L-85720-02-00 - Oil level sensor

 

battery ordered. should be here thursday. let me know when you upgrade to the pretty battery holder and want to donate your tray to a good cause.

 

i remember the first time , so long ago now when he was just a newb, when i showed him how he could get 24 mpg. now he's all grown up

 

 

haha lol

 

Hold off on ordering. I received an email from a sales rep that the bottles and cap were "discontinued", even though I was told Japan had them in stock. I sent the parts dept. an email back about that. Haven't received a reply, but I'll call them on Tuesday about it.

 

ordered.

 

The tuning begins this weekend

 

how many miles on your breakin? i'll hit 300 today

 

You tuning with AP and MM?

 

Approaching 700 miles on the engine

When I roll over 88K on the OD, that will be 740 miles, so I think it is time to start exercising the ponies a bit more. I have been driving like grandma to long now

Yep AP tuned via e-mail with Jeff after I discuss it with him.

 

congrats man. you may beat me then. i'm headed to portland this weekend but i dont think i'll catch up with you in time...

 

Show me the ways of your madness!

 

^ LOL

Maybe I should tune this myself?

 

so the new oil level sensors shipped yesterday.

is nemesis getting close to donating his tray to my project?

i have a brand new battery just waiting to be installed.

 

750 miles

My current flash is Jeff's base map. Oddly enough, my LTFT is currently 0.

 

Nemesis, what type of map are you installing? Economy based? Performance Based?

 

Performance is my goal.

Currently I have MazdaManiac's base map loaded. I just found it odd, that after crap loads of drive cycles, my LTFT was zero. I will be either having Jeff tune via e-mail, or attempt to tune this myself with a dyno and Cobb's Race Tuner.

 

I see. I'm trying to figure out what I can do with just driving to see economic gains on the car. SO far I had mazda do the PCM recall and it's improved from like 10 MPG to 13 MPG, but I feel like it can go higher. I'm going to play around with it for another tank or so then buy the BHR Coils, as well as some new Spark Plugs. I can only guess that opening up the air intake more will also help, but all things come in time.

 

Although you're not FI, I'd still suggest tuning through Jeff if possible rather than experimenting on the dyno by yourself. Forgive me if I'm under-estimating your experience sir .

Paul.

 

Experience? What the heck is that? LOL

Actually, it was Dan that suggested doing it ourselves. I blame him

BTW Paul, the engine is just wanting to open up - I can feel it under my foot.
