Is anyone going to meet up for our monthly gathering? Saturday 5th of December.

 

I'm down fot it.

 

Doubtful I'll be there.... UT and Nebraska in Big 12 Championship tomorrow at 7pm.

 

ummm...i dont think i will make it out :-/

 

Prolly not - hauling a balloon in the Children's Day parade Saturday morning, which is harder than it sounds, then I've got the kiddo for the evening, and lastly, it's going to be colder than a witches hoo-hah in a brass bikini.

 

Doubtfull. Gonna start the -SE swap later today.

 

I'm going to have to pass on this one. I have finals next week, and standing around in the 30 degree weather is not going to help my cold.

 

well it looks like the meet isnt happening this month, maybe next month. See ya'll then.

 

All this cold air and no one is getting the turbos out?

 

not till i'm back from iraq :P lol

 

Finished my air to water intercooler tonight. Check it out.

 

That is sweet! Nice setup ... did you do it yourself?

James

 

Did it all myself. It was a fun project. I removed the AC (wasnt working), lowered the power steering, mounted the heat exchanger and pump (lots of thinking), wired relays for heat exchanger fan and pump, made mounting bracket for core (lots of bending), removed stock intercooler and installed greddy elbow and piping. No holes drilled, no cutting, used stock mounting locations. I saved everything so car can be made stock again.

 

Looks sick! Any plans for a turbo upgrade?

 

computer, injectors, turbo, done.

 

WOW! Great work. Very clean install.

 

Sweet.

 

Glad you finally got that thing installed! Able to measure the change in your intake temps?

 

Very nice work Alan, hope to see it next month.

 

Thanks everyone. I have no way of recording AIT at the monent, but heatsoak is very minimal, at a stop light AIT drop fast because the fan and pump are circulating all the time. Once I get the computer I can log AIT changes.

 

I wiuld have gone for my first time but my drivers seat belt stopped working so off to the dealership I go for that lovely lifetime recall.. But january I am down for it

 

What's this about a lifetime warranty?

 

Recall 96V173000: Automatic Shoulder Belt Inoperative
Notes

The rail of the automatic shoulder belt can wear sufficiently such that the cable which retracts the buckle assembly will become jammed in the rail rendering the shoulder belt inoperative. In the event of a vehicle collision, the occupant would not be adequately restrained increasing the risk of personal injury.

Dealers will replace inoperative shoulder belts. Mazda has extended the warranty coverage on the driver and passenger automatic shoulder belt rail and motor for the life of the vehicle.

Owner Notification: Owner notification is expected to begin during October 1996.

Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Mazda at 1-800-222-5500. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393.

 

wow, which gen had the automatic seat belts?

 

Snowman - thanks, good to know. I'm new to FC and Series 5 ownership, Hadn't heard that one yet.
I'm hoping my '90 won't need it, but if it does...
