    coolant flow direction?

    no kidding. thanks man. So the t-stat opens when coolant in the engine reaches 180ish and is fully open when coolant reaches 192. Coolant heats up through the engine and passes by the temp sender at the top rad hose, and cools down through the rad. the cooler water then would act to close the...

    coolant flow direction?

    yes - cold tends to fall. But I do know some systems are "reverse flow", and since everything I've ever worked on had the T-stat at the top rad hose and the top hose was always hotter, I didn't know if the proteges were different because the tstat is on the lower hose. Plus there's a pump...

    coolant flow direction?

    The pro is the first car I've had with the thermostat on the lower hose. Does coolant flow UP through the rad? Should the lower rad hose be hotter or colder than the upper?

    Mazda AWD is it real AWD or just sales marketing?

    plus you can clearly see in climbing that ramp that the subarus both have the rear wheels on the solid part when they first start moving, giving some momentum to the whole trial. On the wet course the driver obviously pushed the competitors cars harder and with a scandanavian flick style...

    help with bov

    turbosmart kompact dual port will clamp right into the stock location for the bpv, no hard pipes or welding required. Nice to have hardpipes, but not necessary with this valve. I run this on my 323 and it's fantastic. I run the big brother on my msp and might even switch it to this valve this year.

    1988 323 Gtx

    'cause the fast & fun & no one expects a 323 to do the things these things can do. .... and ..... they're relatively cheap to mod to get all sorts of extra power out of them. good luck with the sale. It looks reallllly clean.

    Mazdarulez Photoshoot

    maybe there's an oil cooler under that giant scoop. I was going to build a ram air (mini compared to this mess! ) through an oil cooler at one point. Still might. ... but this? *shakes head* one of the stupidest things I've ever seen.

    Squeeling when car starts?

    yup. power steering belt or alternator belt. Prob the alternator is my guess, since it stops after a little while. If it was PS, it would more likely squeal when there was load on the PS pump as well as when cold. But if one's squealing, chances are that both are due for replacement (or simply...

    Digital gauges that display on a screen

    is there anything out there that takes sender signals and converts them into an output that will show up on an in dash screen? Either a separate unit or *shudder* laptop software? If I'm forced to, it might end up being cheaper to build a carputer. In all my travels I've never seen anything like...

    Want a cheap gauge pod? heres how

    I've thought of using PVC pipe before ... but didn't ... His would look better with a larger gauge though, 2-3/8 maybe. to each their own.

    one sick mazda 323 (familia)

    That one in the video looks like a 2nd gen (BG chassis, not BF) to me. I think you're thinking of the white BG with a B6T also from Puerto Rico, run by Dejavu racing team, turning 600whp and 10.4 quarter miles.

    Race Seat Opinions

    for track days, do you have to have a non-reclining seat? If NOT, I strongly suggest the sparco torinos. I have them and drive 100k a day back and forth to work, very comfortable. But they also hold great in autoX. quite a bit heavier than stock though.
