General tune-up next Monday. Any ideas ???
 

Rex is bound for a general service/tune up next Monday. Standard things to be done:

1) All fluids changed
2) All filters changed
3) Plugs/Wires changed
4) Radiator flushed
5) Oiling/greasing
6) Check things that need checking
7) Check intake for pressure leaks/tighten intake tube
8) Check exhaust for too much backpressure
9) alignment
10) Fix various little things inside/outside of car

Other than the above (and some more things that are already dealt with or mentioned in the manual), what other stuff should I take care of (or tell the mechanic to do so) ??

The car has absolutely no problems besides:
1) loss of boost under WOT or as the rpms climb
2) when drifting to the right, i can hear a sort of clunking noise (from the diff ??)
3) a bit too high consumption

What do you think guys ?

O2 sensor
wipers
Rain-X
Fog-X (for the inside)

O2 sensor ? Hmmmm, yes you're right, have to look into it...:confused:
Wipers: already changed all around :D
Rain-X, Fog-X: nowhere to be found in Greece :(

Seriously? That Rain-X shit is great! I normally just drive around with no wipers on in the rain and it works great. The water just flies off the windshield. I used to know this girl from greece. She was HOT. Aphrodite Delios. DAAAAAAAMN.

But you should get some of the X shit, hell i'd try to find it in the UK, so shipping wouldn't be as punishing...

-Timing
-Couldn't hurt to flush the good ole Fuel Tank
-Get a new o ring around the Oil Filter
-Vacum Leaks?
-Yea Rain-X is cool
-If you had the money go with all new hoses
-I think we hit it all

Yep, I recommend changing the radiator hoses and all belts every other year.



-Ted

About the hoses, I might decide to get rid of everything plastic and replace with silicone...dont know the cost yet....

Come one guys, anyone else ? Nobody here done the 95-100K service yet ?? :D

Well, just got my Rex back :D, and here's the low-down:

1) Fluids, filters changed all around
2) Intake checked and secured
3) Plugs cleaned and adjusted (head honcho there told me that they were like new :eek:, and they dont need changing for another 10K km)
4) CR checked (8:1 all around)
5) Belts checked
6) varous minor things done

I still cannt shake the feeling that my Rex doesnt boost as it should.
I still cannt get anything more than 200mmHg in 1st and 2nd, and 300mmHg in 3rd -consistently. 4th and 5th hit almost 400mmHg easily, so its cool. Even if I hit these max boost numbers, then the pressure starts to drop almost immediately (in 1st, 2nd, 3rd). I know I must be in need for a more freer exhaust, but the guy in the shop (which was head engineer at Mazda Hellas a while ago, so he knows his stuff) assured me that this is -more or less- expected behaviour.

What do you guys think ?

Sounds about right...try getting a downpipe. Cats are evil.

I have posted a supertuneup step-by-step in another thread....
 

see this thread.

Here i responded to a stuck port issue, but my remedy contains all the steps needed to return your car to "like" new condition.

(As close as it will allow)

Re: I have posted a supertuneup step-by-step in another thread....
 

TIIs don't have the secondary ports ;) .

Yeah Sniper, I've read that thread, and know that I must do a couple of things from your "list", but Josepi is right, I dont seem to have a problem with my ports, cause I dont have any :D ,or rather I dont need any "6port solution". My problem -if it is indeed a problem- is my boost pattern.

Taking into account that 700mmHg equals 1bar, my 200-300-400-400 (which equal 0,3-0,4-0,55-0,55 bar) pattern, and particularly my loss of boost at WOT seem peculiar, to say the least...

Something's afoot my dear Watson :D

well. of COURSE...
 

Thats why i qualified it by saying it was in respose to another question.

But I assumed that you would glean off the other information and make sure that you did these things too.....
