I might have missed it but did you get that temp/running problem sorted....was it the temp sensor in the end? Looking forward to seeing a vid of clean run at the track

Sweet. If you run slicks I'm betting 13.8. Street tires I'm betting 14.3.

I'm sure i know what the problem is, and i need to re-wire a sensor i accidently deleted when i was chopping out un-needed wires in the harness lol

Well my best run of the night was 14.7 @ 95 MPH, my 60 ft times were crap, 2.4-2.5's all night so it was spinning pretty good off the line plus my clutch wasn't grabbing worth a **** so in the near future i'll be looking for some slicks and a better clutch, that should lower my time nicely

[DeeAOne]

Hmm suprising. You are most likely losing the most time from spinning because I have pulled on a solid 14.3 car from a roll. That's why I expected you to be quicker than that.

As for the clutch, try adjusting your bracket first. I thought my clutch was slipping but the bracket was just too tight.

[Damkid]

I'm sure it's my clutch itself, I've already tweeked the bracket to make sure it wasn't the problem lol

[crazycanadian]

As long as you have some free play in the clutch linkage your braket will be ok.. look like the clutch is slipping you should be pulling better mph then that.. unless there is a bit of a tune problem with the KLZE and you aren't putting out full power..

[Damkid]

I would lean towards a tune problem since i don't have the correct ECU (94 probe) for the engine, but i'm not going to worry about finding one since i plan on going with a megasquirt

hey man sorry i didnt text you back yesterday, i dont get much of any reception at my parents place, everythin goin ok ?

[Damkid]

Ya man, i was in London last night and had time to kill lol i was seeing if you were back from your parents place or not cause if you were home i was gunna see about stopping by and check out the protege

oh yeah.. that'll be a big factor.. the ecu tune for the klze is much different that that of the klde... you have a lot of top end hp left on the table..

[Mazda_Powered]

ahhh gotcha man, ya sorry i wasn't there, but i'll let you know when i come up next, i should be bringing a friend back for a couple days too lol, we can all meet up and shoot the **** if you're free

[Damkid]

My work has finally slowed down to normal working days lol so i'm sure i'll be able to find some time to meet up
