If you get a new engine, that's a great thing considering you have almost 75K on your first engine..

My compression test was good BUT my coolant is still spilling because my car is over heating..I am taking my car to Tustin Mazda next week to get that **** fixed. Also, my AC doesn't work anymore..

Exactly What Happened: I was driving home from the DYNO DAY. Its about an hour and a half drive. About 15 miles from my house my TEMP needle started to move up but stay at 75%. Then I look back to see if I was smoking and then POOOOOOOOFFF BIG WHITE SMOKE OUTTA MY EXHAUST..... From that point on I couldnt go more than about 70mph with the gas floored to the floor. So I let off the gas and started rolling to a complete stop. While rolling to a complete stop A lot fo White smoke started coming out of my hood and my temp needle started climbing its way up from 75% to the H... and did so reach the H really quick.... Then, it died. Tow truck driver go tthere.. He tasted the Fluid because some was splashed on my hood. He said it was oil and coolant. (yes he tastedd it he seemed to know a thing or two about rotarys). Anyways... I talked to EAZY and he explained to me what most likely it is and so tomorrow i am going to call the dealer and let them know that I will be towing in my car. Explain to them what happened and hope for a new engine. I check my cat and it was not GLOWING RED so thats once thing out of the question right? I have no aftermarket parts besides an intake (AEM)

Im taking my care to "Antelope Valley Mazda"...they have been good since I havae took my car there. Whenever I needed anything under warranty they have never complained or second guessed as to why. They have never ask me questions, just replaced the part. Never had an arguement with them. I also know the Lady who works and intaking the cars for service/ warranty repairs (or at least have became friends with her) ... The main lady with "FORD" is the one who sign's off on all the WARRANTY SERVICING/ REPLACEMENT is a real nice Lady... I have met her a couple times due to small warranty work on my car. Im sure I will have no problem in a replacement if that is needed. (which Im sure). The Dealershiop itself is Antelope Valley Ford/Lincoln/Mercury- MAZDA.

Lookin good guys. Sorry to hear about Zumn's engine. I never like hearing about folks blowing up even if they have terrible taste in rims. (Sorry just had to do it) Best of luck and start a new thread about how things go and we'll all help you out the best we can if you have issues getting it claimed under warranty.

So...any numbers to post up.

that sexy piano black intake should be worth at least 10whp.

I want to thank Jedi for getting this whole thing together along with everyone who helped out with the process from BHR to the crew who updated us on the live feed with results and all the shenanigans that went on.

Is there a thread that posts all the results? Or am I missing something, I could only find the thread for the 2009 results.
