That's normal Jarno (flash to pass) flash your main beam and it illuminates them when flashing people in rather than lifting the motors.
You should be able to stick some led running lamps in there if need be.
Thanks Kev

I think Ill have to order new spark plugs. Recommendations? Stock NGK´s? For leading BUR7EQ and for trailing BUR9EQ?

Yesterday I purchased new wind screen wipers and some premix oil, Motul 710...

Tomorrow I might order that A/F gauge. I think Ill buy this one

You should still be able to get hold of 7's

Yes, weird that basically everyone else has those. But why his system says that production has stopped...? Anyhoo, ordered those from Rockauto...

So, today, again, I went computer shopping. Went thru EssexRotary catalog, RacingBeat and RacingBeat Europe...

At RB catalog there is full exhaust system. But weird thing is that description says that this system needs RB fuel cut controller. Howerer,  I cant find it anywhere, no longer available. Clive?

If I purchase it, I dont want to overboost old engine and turbo. So, my options?

Although I need back mufflers, I dont know should I buy whole system now. No need at this point...

Tomorrow I might be able to get that car to lift at my friends. Rallycross Janne can check my baby

Oh, one weird thing I found out: Cold start, she raises revs quite high, about 3000rpm. Revs drop quite fast to normal idle tho. Normal?
She starts almost immedately, hot and cold, no problem there.

When fast shifting from 2nd to 3rd under boost, getting into 3rd gear fails some times. Feels stiff. But I cant see any other "problems" in gearbox...

Trying to learn and figure out, getting her of the line properly. When I get it right, she is bloody fast! just amazing old car!

Mine, on starting goes to 3000, then drops to 2500, as she warms she drops down slowly to 750/800, depending on temperature this can take several minutes.   I have fitted a "Piper Cross" lifetime filter element which lets her breath a bit more easily.


Once started do not turn her off without warming up, this can leave the TPS at 2500 which can cause a "Flat Spot" that shuts Boost & everything off & makes her unable to drive.

I wonder why they do that? Some kind of forced choke system...?

Yeah, I always warm her up. I dont go to boost before Im sure that she is in right temp. And I never do short runs. Also, I let turbo cool down on idle before shutdown, even with slow drivin before...

You would make a good Teacher :D :D

Did you use the wind break behind the seats as that keeps all the wind away.  Mazda used it first on the TII Patented it & all manufacturers use it them now.
