kicked it...... again and again

Nick_d_TII 04-18-10 12:07 PM

Fixed minor coolant leaks, replaced both rad caps, protected Boost control solenoid box from heat, taped up IC to keep air going through. Got pulled over on 185th (was dumb of me for speeding on that road), no ticket though. He brought up a bunch of questions (not stock muffler, WA ID, WA Reg., Expired Ins Card).

lolwutcj 04-19-10 05:28 PM

cut up one of my bape shirts.
and a new shift knob will be put on once i get my short shifter and have a better/more general threading size. (s4 sucks)

why aftermarket DP's are cheap. I can even afford to have one. I think the best way to hollow it would be a hammer and 1 inch dowell, or bar. I think mine was already hollow when I pulled it, but thats how I fixed my main cat. anyway corksport DP is only like 160 or somthing.

zoomy942 05-03-10 10:41 AM

i will be replacing the PD today, if it arrives. Tracked down my idle problem to a nice fuel leak at the PD. I will do the fuel filter at the same time.....

then drive it!

I hate seeing her in the driveway not being driven.

bboyclo 05-03-10 04:28 PM

incubuseva 05-03-10 10:52 PM

FCFRANK 05-03-10 10:54 PM

jinxed4dub 05-03-10 11:57 PM

I put a bunch of pictures of them on my girlfriends facebook page. thats what she gets for leaving it up.

~slidewayz fc3s~ 05-04-10 12:46 AM

just got done pulling of the stock intercooler and going over my car with a fine tooth comb to only discover its blown and i need a new engine :tear:

nxtlevelmazda6 05-04-10 03:09 AM

Bought an Apexi N1 exhaust this weekend and installed it today, and sold my old exhaust. I took my car over to Marc at FD3S Engineering in Beaverton(in the same building as Apex Restoration) to look at my car and I found out I have bad compression:( He said the engine will only last till the end of the summer:(

AUGieDogie 05-04-10 04:06 AM

Put the replacement front bumper on. Mostly done, just needed some screws.

nxtlevelmazda6 05-05-10 02:01 AM

picked up a racing beat header in eugene for $50:)

bboyclo 05-05-10 11:13 AM

CYD 05-05-10 03:37 PM

Josh18_2k 05-08-10 06:13 PM

Got highcentered, lifted up back and pushed forward and it launched, dove into the drivers seat and cranked ebrake up halfway only to have it go faster cuz there was another hill. Was dragged about 50ft. Roadrash and glass cuts for days

bboyclo 05-09-10 04:16 PM

finish painting, CAI installed, and some cruisin with the drop top

zoomy942 05-09-10 09:08 PM

still workin on my pulsation damper change out. cant get the dam VDI off.

incubuseva 05-09-10 09:43 PM

Finally got my corksport FMIC kit installed. But it's made for S4. I don't care what the website says. So I had to order 2 more clamps + a 90* reducer. It runs, but leaks like a mofo.

when ghost riding the whip goes wrong.....

I had a simular experiance after replacing the starter of my old chevy luv. when I put the ground back on the battery, fucker started up and started driving down the block. I got it stoped before it ran into some mail boxes and into a yard. but I chased it a good 75 feet.

I washed mine..... sort of I ran out of quarters.

Gregory Casimir 05-10-10 07:51 AM

Finally pulled the engine out and now i need to clean the engine bay out and replace my power steering rack with the new manual rack. Almost done with my turbo swap ^_^!

RW-7 05-10-10 06:39 PM

I FINALLY got my Title and registration today. Even got plates too. As some of you know I have been going through it to try and get this done. A little hisory, the car was towed and stored for 5 years with no plates, tags, and an unknown owner, but after some doing all is said and done. I just need to swap out the rear end, install some new half shafts and bearings, and let the breakin process begin.. :D

Nice, is there a write up on how to do this?

blwfly 05-10-10 09:23 PM

finally drove my repu 300ft been 3 years

nxtlevelmazda6 05-10-10 09:29 PM

Got the racing beat header installed last week so now I have a full header-back exhaust system. Right after I had the header installed I took it for a drive and everything was fine, I drive it the next day and every time I get to 4k there is hesitation, but now it only does this occasionally. There is also some vibration near the center console around 1-3k. Ugh every time I do something to this car something breaks :wallbash:

Gryffinwings 05-10-10 10:07 PM

I bought Tein Type HR Coilovers for my FC and some replacement interior parts.

RW-7 05-10-10 11:57 PM
