[Damkid]

Finally!! lol it's been a long day but it got me to town for a slice of pizza haha

I had a few added issues to work out but the clutch is holding well, it's holding all fluids, not leaving clouds of smoke, it's seeming like all issues are worked out, besides needing to gap the plugs, I'm happier with it for sure

time for a beer, screw pizza hahaha

[Damkid]

Fuk I'm gunna have more then one haha

[Damkid]

So I've been driving my festiva almost trouble free since all the work Sunday, it holds all its fluids, doesn't burn oil anymore, but it wouldn't rev passed 4k rpm under WOT/6psi

so last night I pulled the spark plugs and checked the gap, all 6 were between .050-.056..... I closed the gap to about .030 and it cleared up my sputtering issue above 4k

When I went for a cruise last night, in 3rd gear it'll still be doing a rolling burnout to at least 90-100kph/55-60mph, this thing is just totally awesome to drive now

While I was out last night I came across a riced out focus, my buddy in the passenger seat was out the window taunting him until he floored it, so I punched it and left him in the dust several times over hahaha

This weekend I'm busy but the weekend after I'm gunna try and hit the track with it

Nice

.030 seems a bit tight. id say try .040 first.

[Mazda_Powered]

Most KLZE owners run around .030-.035 for under 10psi so I think he's just about where he needs to be lol

[FE3-323]

what most people run. & how big you can actually go before issues like he had are 2 totally different things.

most BP folks downgap the **** outta their plugs..... i still run the standard ".04X"

[Mazda_Powered]

That's some crazy gap sir lol

[Damkid]

Well I figure it's running good now so no sense opening up the gap lol if jack makes it down this weekend we'll be sure to get videos lol

[MD323]

.030 seems a bit tight. id say try .040 first.

every turbo car ive encountered runs a gap between .030-.018 unless they have a particularly hot coil

[FE3-323]

shawn... im rocking the stock coil with zero issues.

[MD323]

gotta keep your car together longer than a week to have issues :p
