Yup! I cant wait. Just went and picked up my Int-X at the Fedex location just about an hour ago.

Guys.. Please dont forget that 120+ dollars that we need to pay for the dyno. There are a bunch of banks around that area just in case any of you forget.. I am sure we could find one that meets your needs.

I was looking at the video and it looks like some of the products you need would be 10mm socket, zip tie and a 7/16 drill bit.. I'll bring these products with me tomorrow and install the Int-X.. With some help from the master of course.. I should be able to handle most of the install though. It looks pretty straight forward.

I did install my canzoomer by myself, so this product shouldnt be that difficult... Just need some assistance/guidance is all.

So I'm going to have to have my car towed there tomorrow morning. While trying to shift into 3rd, I heard what sounded like bolts falling off my car. I pulled over immediately, and then after seeing it was idling fine, tried to put it into 1st, and it wouldn't go in. Luckily I was only about a block away from my friend's house, so we just pushed it to his house. One of his friends said it sounds like the slave or master cylinder went out. I can put the car into gear when the car is not on, and if I start it in gear, it just jerks forward. He is really sure the clutch isn't gone, so I guess thats a good thing, but I don't know, too many bad things are happening at once.

Yea that happened to me when I drove it away from the shop like a mile down the road. I feared it was the slave cylinder as well, but we bled the clutch and all was fine. However, if urs souned like bolts were falling off it could have easily been a worse problem. Good luck with it. If u need to go sumwhere, I suggest rolling it to get it moving and engaging a gear while moving. The syncros may let it go in gear then. GL.

Mike, hopefully it's somthing simple. Does the clutch feel normal? Does the pedal depress very low and then get hard? Scott

Yes, when you press it, it feels like you are stepping on the brakes. Does that sound like a familiar problem?

Is that an easy fix or not? Should I have it towed to the place we are doing the tuning, or have it towed to the closest Mazda dealership?

Yeah, I think God is trying to tell me something, because I've never had bad luck come like this. I'm questioning how much this is worth to me, because for the last 2 months I've literally been working just to keep this car on the road. I might have to face reality real soon.

let see,
1 front end
2 laptop
3 this.

i think you are done .... good luck... if it is the pp bolts i think they can be tightened by pulling the starter... and using a crows foot wrench to get to them..

good luck...

I just got home from the shop. Interesting and a lot of learning. I will let the guys post their results. I can say I like the way a greddy turbo car feels once tuned right.

Hey guys! The fun continues tomorrow at GT Motorsports.. Here is the location of the performance shop.

http://maps.yahoo.com/maps_result?ad...w=1&name=&qty=

You will be very impressed with this facility and it has to be an improvement over what we experienced today....

See you guys there. I'll probably call most of you tonight or tomorrow morning just to confirm the time and that you actually read this post.

PM me if you need my cell phone number just in case you dont have it and get lost.

Later!

flywheel, yes ( 9 or 12lb)
counterweight: no...unless you've got s4-s6 rotors.

i've got a really nice exedy setup, but we'd have to swap in the fd tranny to use the pull clutch. hey, i happen to have an fd tranny laying around too. find a counterweight, and we can go crackhead style all night and get you ready for the dyno tomorrow with a 5-speed :D
