 Been in this game for long long time(non rotors), what you are now learning, I\'ve forgot!  

 I bought this car as an unfinished project that someone started, ran out of dosh(£12k+) and paitents before they got the car to run...
 I already had a T2 I had only just bought to mod to the max(project A), already bought many bits and had a couple £K more of sh!t on order for it!  
But this chance(present car) was too good to pass up as it will save me a lot of dosh, the car had decent ingridents to be a monster, with a bit more thrown at it.   And as you will know it\'s sometimes not a bad idea to buy a car with mods as the owner/seller \'never\' gets back what was spent on the machine!

 So took the chance and got it, sold the other T2 and all the bits and got this one running.
Never was happy with it as I always had problems with her, one thing to the next, you name it!
 So along with these dramas, I was also learning the Rotary and Microtech mapping, and learning rather quickly, probably by force..  :p

 When I took her to RotorStock 2, I was hoping to at least drive her there without RAC assistance and enjoy RS and hopefully get to run a few runs and maybe make it home (2 hr trip)..
  Made it fine and just had to go on the strip for a \'Shakedown\', and as you know she performed quite well indeed.... managed near 20 runs, yes 20 hardcore runs........ did have some problems and broke a few things, but continued to run and drive home...
 Pratically every run, I had made some changes to the map settings.. had the laptop on, recording runs and adjusting/playing/learning....
 This is also my first time with mapping these cars and the Microtech software, so the car has done well with me fecking about and learning at the same time.....
  After RS I confirmed what I knew, the car has Mega potential and to get that out I need to continue to learn, experiment, mess about and change a few things...
 But  back of my head I was not ever confident of the motor and set up and decided over winter I\'ll pull it off road regardless if I got it right or not and start again from scratch, my way.... Also needed to mod and fix other areas of the car as well anyway.

 So when the engine finally gave up the ghost a few weeks ago, I was actually not ****ed off at all... 1. I wanted to start fresh anyway and  2. she made an 11 sec run while again I was messing about trying stuff...

 Now I am where I wanted to be and hopefully this time I\'ll have the true real potential without the uncertainity...

Out of interest, what clutch are you running?

Been in this game for long long time(non rotors), what you are now learning, I\'ve forgot!

And sooooooooooo modest with it :god :

It must be nice knowing more than every one else about every thing else! I thought only OJ possessed such abilities

[Brett]

Can we make sure this stays reasonably friendly

[Warthog]

Play nice now children and the HOG will buy you some scratching to chew the fat off. :rollin  :rollin  :rollin  :rollin

Oh no can\'t do that can I, that would be endorsing the death of one of my own. :evillaugh

[20B_boy]

Play nice now children

Wasnt trying to stop the thread!
I nearly feel guilty now.........................

[Brett]

BTW what were you doing when it let go?

[TRex]

20B(Rich?) not being funny or boasting about anything m8, if you have read the post carefully, you would see I have mentioned several times that I am still learning and always will be...
 Your input is always welcome m8...
 
Brett, Running \'THIS\' .
 I was guns ablazing when it got shot!

[Brett]

LoL! Whats it like to use? Does it still ahve some feel or is it simply a switch now?

[TRex]

Actually it\'s still quite good really, has seen alot of action in it\'s short space of life (3K miles)... will just need a wee bit of emery on the pressure plate and Flywheel though........  
 
 I\'ll flag up some more shots as we go along...

 Just keep \'John\' off my threads...  :spank

How long are u execpting the clutch to last? what are the exedy carbons like to drive out of interest as I dont recall having tried one? I imagine they have a quite nice feel. We were (may still be!) Exedy dealers but had so much rubbish from them and zero warranty success on dead clutches with f/a mileage on them that we dont sell them any more. Totally unhelpful. We sold a lot of their clutches too, not just FD. I know another of the Pro 16 from Jap Show has had the same crap too. Thats why we have gone into the Xtreme\'s - Max has had one in his car a for a couple of years now without issue including a lot of track hours, and the drag car has always run Xtreme and never let us down.

Back on topic - what apex seals are u going to use next? sticking with Mazda\'s finest for definite?

That seal appears to have been broken by detonation.3mm seals can take a lot of detonation before breaking.TREX did you not hear the detonation?
What was your ignition timing? I run a Microtech too.
