What coils did you get ?

I was going to get Yellow Speed coils. I did some research on them and people from M3s to Integras rated them above stuff like BCs, with use in auto-x and track days. They're all the rage for the BJ chassis right now on other forums. Plus, they were lower on the price totem, so I ordered ones "for an MX3" because I liked the spring rates better. However, they said that they only had one set left which was damaged and missing some stuff, so I got an upgrade to D2 RS free of charge.

*update* I emailed them again and told them to just send me Yellows for a 323. I'll deal with the higher front spring rates.

I was up visiting my folks with my friend Adam this weekend, sold some rear spindles, did a boost leak test to find my lower injector spacers/seals aren't sealing on a few of the injectors (had the inlet pipe capped off with my tire valve, then capped off the exhaust pipe...worked VERY well) also found a few boost leaks that we fixed up...damn thing whistles/hisses/leaks past 3psi still though

...so gonna have some fmic pipes bent up for me next month...gotta get this thing reliable for the winter!!!

Trying to install a relocated hazard switch near my A/C switch. Tired of the ford ones in the top of the column that always break.

Please enlighten on the spring rates for both!!!

thanks!

Drove her to pick up some E30 bottle caps at the sultry price of $100.

Jealous man. I almost bought a set for that price myself last summer. I really wanted them but the seller stopped answering emails when I tried to set up a meet.

[DuRWooD]

There's a set at the junk yard near me. They charge $20 a wheel.

Done a boost leak test and found a few leaks, also I'm having slow spooling problems so I checked the actuator and it was slightly open :/ A little bit of fiddling and it closed so I greased the hell out of it! Will test drive tomorrow

Anyone had an issue with the actuator like this befor on a VJ20?

[Mazda_Powered]

only when I had it installed at the swing arm backwards (pushed up through, vs pushed down)

I did a boost leak test as well (cap/valve on turbo inlet and cap'd the tail pipe) and turns out everything leaks! lol injector lower spacer/seals, some of the IC piping I worked on...blah!!! Got most of the piping solid but god this noise it makes is driving me insane!!! It's been doing it for a while now too...I barely get past -10vac (I don't go into boost, or beat on it like this) and you can hear the damn thing fartin/leaking up a storm.

MX-3 are 7k/4k
323 are 8k/4k

Picked up a set of 2000 ES 4 lug 5 spoke wheels from a local guy for $30, not a bad price. Need to get some rubber now.

[MazdaNoob]

installed MSII and started car .. ran ok for 30 seconds , went gross rich and now idles like crapola .. i musta changed something inadvertently ... oh installed new WB 02 sensor as well ..

[FE3-323]

you do realize those rates are high for our cars (fronts at least)

5 or 6K would be my max. personally i can't really see too much practical use otherwise.

7 & 8k aren't as bad as you think Ryan lol. I've had both on my car and it was fine for daily, would have been MUCH better if I had adjustable dampening though. Then they'd be bad ass. Currently running #350s on ZX2 spec struts with no complaints at all though.
