i would imagine compression problems would be your seals, but it wouldnt hurt to try seafoam. i got a can of it for $11 and it was enough to do my car and Diandras (itsdidihi's) car. from start to finish it took me 2 hours.


i agree. can anyone do a meet this sunday? even if its like one or two people it would be fun. a meeting place would have to be decided but shouldnt be a issue.

 

im off tomorrow and this weekend im down to help out and seafoam some cars my place any1 whos down we can also have an install meet i know rotaryp7 needs to install fogs sooooo any1 else... i have a clutch line to install... or we can all ride to towers meet tomorrow night........

im down for whatever

 

read my last post, what do you think would be best? i only feel sunday because its not as short notice so more people might be able to.

and how much should i expect to spend on the rear brake pads and what kind should i get? also if we could meet tomorrow so you can see if thats actually the issue and not something else with my rear right brake.

 

sure just text me tomorrow in the a.m.

 

Ok. I'm out of class at 9:50am tomorrow so if you're down for sometime between 10:15-11:50 that would be perfect, as I am taking a friend to lunch as a thank you for letting me borrow a textbook so I didn't have to go buy it for one of my classes this semester for $145. Lol

 

I have mad editing skills!

 

Usually yes but sometimes built up carbon in the combustion chamber can cause the seals to not seal properly. This is a long shot ofcourse but I have one mechanic saying low compression which he showed me in the form of a compression test and I have another guy telling me those compression tests are not always accurate. I am not sure what to believe. The last mechanic (the negative one) keeps insisting that Mazda will not warantee the motor and that it's another problem.

My brother is a mechanic as well and a good one. I described some of my noises during hi RPM's plus the misfires and he mentioned looking at the spark plugs to see if I notice any dark areas around the plugs. The spark plugs are about 20k old so I might need new ones I guess. I do run it like hard 24/7 so maybe but the issues have been happening even when the plugs only had like 5k.

So if anyone wants to meet I can spare a couple hours this weekend if it means I figure something out.

Incentive: You get to see the Forgestar F14's in person!

 

jeeeeezus...
You guys are so fast. Do you check this **** everyday or does your email send you something for every post?
I can meet during the day on sunday.
But (just so you guys know, also) there is drifting at countyline dragway on okeechobee near krome at 6 o clock. 10 dollar to spectate i think if ya'll are interested!^^because that's where I'll be by 5

If somebody notices that I haven't checked back here by sunday will you like text me please lol since i don't know what time you guys are planning on yet?

 

Well, Sunday morning I might have plans but I'll be done with them by 1. So anyone down for 1pm Sunday? Location we all need to agree on.

 

Well on sunday theres also the sfla meet @ 5 pm at pembroke pines if anyone is down for the drive

 

Yea, I still need help with the fog light bulbs.. Haha. I think I work on Sunday, fml. I'll let you guys know.

 

So what you guys are telling me is I need a teleporter? One guy is in Pembroke the other is at county line I'm in Kendal...

Well, either way I get my tax return next month and one way or the other this car will be restored to above factory performance! At least 210 to the wheels and maybe 300 + by the end of the year. Maybe if Hinson decides its a good idea to make that v8 kit I might do something stupid...Who knows.

BHR get your production lines warmed up bitches! I'll be buying some sheit soon.

 

^ I'm in kendall you sob.

 

Is ur car running at all caveman

I wouldn't say it's running...More like jogging and when the weather is cold then it runs and when it's hot it has bronchitis.

You see the car runs great from idle to 6k. Then it all goes to hell! If you had an automatic BB gun and you shot it into a tin can thats what it sounds like between 6k and 9k.

To make matters worse 2nd, 4th, and 5th all CRUNCH during moderate shifting. Say goodbye to the gearbox.

Ironically enough this thing will probably keep running for another 50k to 100k but with no power. Currently at 97,000 miles.

 

Well hello there... neways just re-created my 8 account.... and im in palm beach...Got some ish to take care of in miami so im always down for sunday... Jus let me know...
and hi mizz benz ;p

 

and what's the status with the engine replacement??

Seafaoming could possibly speed this up, you see one reason why you might
Still have compression could be your carbon build up, seafoaming could completely
Take all your compression away and you get a new engine.... possibly

 

On-going...work is driving me nuts and I am working crazy hours. If thats not enough I am studying for my CCNA. So when I'm at work I'm working...when I'm home I'm working. I should have some time in 2 weeks.

As far as the seafoam you make an important point. It is possible the carbon build up may also be whats giving the motor the little compression it has and performing the seafoam may cause it to die completely. This is speculation but with this in mind it would be best for me to wait 2 weeks to do this when I have more time.



Still the carbon does not explain the noises at full throttle between 6k and 9k. Only spark and fuel can explain that. I should look into getting new plugs and cleaning the injectors to see what happens.

 

doesnt hurt to change your fuel pump either

 

let me know when you do this if your not going to swap coils we can test mines on your cr to rule everything out at once

 

... so whats up people are we organizing a meet?

 

We could but where and when probably not this weekb since it would be short notice...
What day is best for everyone I'm good just about everyday but thursdays in the afternoon....
Maybe a meet at 5guys(no homo) in dadeland and we can shoot some picks on the roof parking are just chit chat and ****

 

same, id be ok with that.

 

Chelsea I lost your number pm me your number
