    Y'all know about this shindig?
    A forum community dedicated to Mazda 3 and all Mazda vehicle owners and enthusiasts. Come join the discussion about MazdaSpeed performance, modifications, classifieds, troubleshooting, maintenance, and more!


    I'm planning on showing up for this, it was kinda fun last time I was there and the burgers are good...
    '90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and
    '90 AWD Protege, yet another GTR swap, Open class rallycar with a Toyota GT4 gearbox swap, thus crossing the line between hobby and mental illness. And a Brabus E55 K8, removing all doubt.

        saturday dudes, that's the day to do this stuff. I work sunday at 11pm, but I'm off work firday at 7am. If I didn't work, I'd probably do it, although I'd be in my grand prix not protege.

            Ryan, can I call you Ryan? I am going, but how will I find you there? Looking for people I might recognize.

              If NISMO stands for NISsan MOtorsports . . . . Does HOMO stand for HOnda MOtorsports ?

                You can certainly call me Ryan. I'm driving the black, incredibly dirty, BG 323 with the GTR body parts on it and bright yellow fog lights. I'll be wearing a very dark blue CorkSport polo shirt.

                Also, here is a terrible picture of me:

                      Well, I'm screwed. I barely made it home tonight, I'd replaced the clutch MC but something ain't right. It stopped letting the clutch disengage. I got home and replaced the slave (GODDAMN what a bitch) and bled it out and no improvement at all. It just won't go into gear at idle. I've run the linkage adjustments darn near all the way, still no go. I'm outta options and outta ideas, I dunno wtf is going on here...

                          I would go back and check to see if any of your hydraulic lines are leaking. Otherwise you might have got a **** M/C

                            I spent all morning today putting in a new US made MC and slave. Bled it all out. Still, not getting enough travel to disengage the clutch. So either the clutch fork is bending under load, or the diaphragm spring is gone on the clutch. Since it still holds just fine under big big load (ran it hard in 4th, to see if it'd slip and it just clamped as always), the pressure plate and disc pretty much have to be OK.
                            Clutch engagement has always been very low, have to push it to the floorboard to shift, but it's gradually gotten worse. What I thought was hydraulics failing is turning out to be something else, a something else that involves pulling the goddamn trans... I ain't got time for this crap right now, I'm trying to get the rallycar ready for the Wild West event this coming weekend, and now this pops up, just in time to make me miss this big ol' meet. It doth pisseth me off....

                              I am sorry if this is a question that has been answered by you before but what kind of clutch setup are you using, IE; flywheel, pressure plate t/o bearing. The reason why I am asking is that I know you can use a 2wd flywheel and clutch set up, but you still want a 4wd T/O bearing ( at least that is what I have run into
