I'll let Brandon and Chris know there's a wrench meet this Sat.

 

sorry phil but i won't make it today..

 

Chun installed an AEM cold air intake Saturday. It got late so I was unable to get an "as built" pic of the final project. We were also not able to check the fit on the R-Magic front bumper to his car.

 

Before I go public with this front bumper I though I would offer it locally. I purchased it about a month ago out of the Double Goose sale. After I received it I decided I did not like the style so here I go selling it. My purchase price was $600.00 plus freight. I will eat the freight and just sell it for the $600.00 I paid for it. I will leave this posted here for a few days in case someone locally wants it.

Flip has first dibs subject to painting bid.

 

You should keep it Phil. It will grow on you.

 

No I already purchased a C-West front bumper......I should have it by mid November. At my age I don't have time for it to grow on me

 

i thhink im losing compression again...drving home today off the 215 i was in 6th gear and started losing power so i shifted in 4th lost power again so im in 3rd half way home now remeber i keep changing gears why in the **** s2000 trys to race me when im losing power so we r goin back to back all the way to my house...what u guys think is the problem

 

Could be a plugged cat.......among a million other things.

 

or maybe or dear mazda might have something to do with it.. just sayn

 

when was the last time you changed the fuel filter? double check the cheap stuff first

 

Do you have a check engine light? If so then scan it and see what the code is. A plugged cat would generally give a code.

 

OK Phil I have been monitoring my temperatures. I idle right around 206 - 07. When I am running I usually stay within 185 - 195. Is she doing OK?

 

never...phil do u have a tool to crack the top off

 

eww how many miles have you driven?

 

Den you can rent the tool at a autoparts store. And you dont have to change the fuel filter every month but if you have been using shitty gas it wont hurt to open it up and look at it.

Check your plugs, oil, vac lines.

 

yeah that would be a rather wasteful amount of money to change monthly, and you don't have to use "shitty" gas to get contaminates in the filter, thats why the system has a filter. Otherwise you would never have to change it, good luck with that meathod lol

Why on gods earth would you check the oil in this type of situation??

 

You do realize who was offering that advice, don't you?
Kinda makes that question rhetorical.

 

This is an "Authentic" R-Magic nose. Not a replica.

Just sayin'

 

hey easy.. could you check with the guys on mazda if maybe i still could use the engine warranty in phoenix i might give this shot if they say that i have a chance..
phil told me that i don't have my name in the computer anymore.. thanks =]

 

Bring it down anytime. PM me if you like we can talk a bit more about the details.

 

Yes I have that tool......doubt very much it is that but it has happened. It's hard to diagnose a problem over the internet. Most common reasons for the lack of power are 1) coils......2) plugged cat......3) blown engine. On a stock engine that was just replaced my guess would be cat first and then coils. But hell again it's hard to diagnose from the internet.


Hard to do better. Is the scan gauge doing ok?

Thank you Easy, yup it is a authentic R-Magic nose. After all the trouble getting it here I just could not see it on my car.

 

Scan gauge is doing great! Kinda cool to see all that info at any given moment. Good to know my temp is doing well.

 

Charles R. Hill And I will be in Las Vegas on the 17th. Doing some work on Phil's car.

 

Ok, Ray originally said the 14th but now it's the 17th no big problem. Just need the car working. Chun is looking for you too.

 

Your stuff will be ready on the 14th. We will be there on the 17th. I thought I told you that already.
