Just wondering how many people would be interested in getting Steve over here to tune our cars? I plan on gauging interest of this thread and PMing him to see if he would be interested

There would be a few glitchs to work out.

1) Suitable centraly located dyno location(s)
2) Getting enough people interested!


So who's intersted?

well, i suggest doing some searches for Dyno's which will allow you to tune on them, as it seems to be hard to find atleast here in CZ

dyno's i know about here in CZ are usually only able to make a run and then give you graph, not holding load where u need it for adjustments on the fly....

we should charge the idoits on base extra $$ lol and end up not paying at all

LUPE

You know that Steve can tune your cars on the street too, right?

AF1

Well you probably couldnt ask for a better road than the autobans here in Germany!

Ever tried to slow down to dead stop at autobahn? Or drive 20km/h there ?

AF1

Yeah, when theres construction traffic, but theres plenty of those town roads that connects villages to villages.

every time I drive in Germany there seems to be a reason not to fast: construction, traffic yam, idiots on the road etc... Never went over 240 km/h.

2 FD's passed me just south of Hamburg last week on the A1 near Bockel, both were doing way over 200...

I wonder how he would be driving a RHD vehicle

AF1

RHD are better than LHD well if ur right handed anyway

AFgreasemnky

I agree i drove AF1s car and it was undoubtably easier to drive than my FC...

To bad AF1 is still to slow

AF1

its slow because im waiting on the new tires haha, i wonder how the post office will deal with the 12 box of of packages that im getting. 8 tires, 4 wheels.

I tried RHD FC once and its 'doable' for first time, yet i have not found it being easy )
I am happy for living in Europe :o)

Im intrested in tunning from Steve Kan. I have many mods on my FD an could have some good tuning infos or tuning its self for the car. I have an Power Fc and know that Steve is the best Tuner on this.
So nun sage mal was hast du genau vor? Wo solls hingehen und wieviel würden wir berappen müssen.

AF1

^ wish i can understand german, without doing google translation. Hey Higgi are u familar with 3rd gen rebuilds? My US spec FD should be here next month and it needs a rebuild. Coolant seals starting to leak. Are the coolant seals kinda like head gasket on pistons engines, but are sandwich betweens the housing.

hIGGI

iTrader: (7)

never did 3rd gen but don`t expect it to be much different than 2nd gen engine wise, its still 13B and even for 2nd gens we are using some FD parts in our rebuilds.....

AF1

Where do u get ur rebuild kit from?

ArmyOfOne

iTrader: (12)

Hey brother, a third gen rebuild is exactly like the others. I would recomend getting the Atkins rebuild kit and the OEM 2 piece 2mm mazda seals. Is that the motor I'm supposed to be street porting??

If so give me a ring so I can start sourcing the parts for you from my contacts back home.

AF1

No i think the motor that "wants" the street port is on AFgreasemnkys FC. Its going to be atleast 4 weeks until my other FD arrives here, so im still doing research. Its funny the more i read the more i want to do an LS1 swap.

hIGGI

iTrader: (7)

Yeah, newer V8's seems to be very interesting choice - loosing rotary spirit, but getting something in exchange (reliable power, torque, cheaper parts)

AF1

yes.. I dont want to lose the spirit, but i also have common sense.

AFgreasemnky

Yeah im still looking to get a street port, just waiting on funds to buy a rebuild kit. That and now my other car is broken to ugh.
Although im gonna have to do it sooner than later, cant have AF1 being the fastest 7 on base hahaha
