Some good news!

First of all, I fixed the coolant leak ... it was coming from the heater fitting just as I suspected.

Secondly, the car was wonderful on a trip to San Diego this past weekend ... ~130 miles each way and it got +25 mpg on the freeway @ 75-80 mph. My best friend's Millennia doesn't even sport that gas mileage. I've been experiencing ~14 city.

Thirdly, the San Diego trip put me right at 1000 miles on the motor. Time to have some fun!!

And to answer a previous question -- I found out that Neptune Speed uses 20W-50 Castrol GTX for break-ins.

 

awesome to hear DK! i heard great things from a lot of customers that i know that went through neptunespeed with great feedback

 

Just thought I share my experiences with Neptune as well. Of course, nothing but good words about them.

Yosuke is a friend of mine so I thought I sent my project to them. I have them did the rebuild with new rotors, housings and street ports, as well as installing my GT3574 single turbo kit, fuel system, intercooler, and the whole nine yard. What can I say, FANTASTIC job by them. The enjoy bay turned out just the way I wanted. Most importantly, two of the nicest person you would want to work on your car. Attention to detail and no rush works. I stronglly recommend them to anyone on this forum. Oh, they have good prices as well. =)

Here are some pictures, enjoy! Thanks to Yosuke and Yoshi @ Neptune.

 

Wow ... it's nice to see your car finished. It looks great!! Didn't you order new everything from Mazda??

 

Naw, only the the rotors and housing are new from Mazda. =)

 

yosuke actually told me that the rotors for your FD were the lighter, high compression rotors too, since that's all they have now that you can purchase new. looks great !

 

HAHA...thx...i didnt evem know that myself..

 

i was starring at ur car for a couple hours as i was getting mine tuned. Ur brakes and rims are BEAUTIFUL. Body kit might be alittle to far, but still nice car! I also saw them breaking in ur motor so i know wat ur car sounds like too ***LOUD!!**** w/silencer.. i forgot his name, but he got a exhaust ticket with ur car lol

 

Haha....yah, i know my car was too lound plus the HKS exhaust just dont fit the bodykit too well, so I replaced it with the Racing Beat single tip. It's much better now. =)

 

Did they solve the oil problem?

 

yeah...all problems fixed...

 

Good to hear. What was the problem?

 

Going to go to neptune to tune my T04R FD with AVCR and PFC soon.

hoping for the best.

 

It was just a minor leaking issue. All taken care now tho. =)

 

Man...in the same boat as redat8 and I must say I have full confidence in yoshi's abilities. Im doing a GTU to TII swap and just dropped my car off 2day. Had all my parts supplied and gave him my deposit.

If anyone asks me where to get there FC worked on...best believe Im referring to Neptunespeed. This dude has a strong passion rotaries and the FC.

 

well just saw this thread for the first time, and im here in orange, glad there is what sounds like an excellent rotary mechanic in the area now!!! hope to take my future fd to them soon. lol

 

hehe. +1 for NepTune Speed supporter too. yoshi and yosuke are the best.
got my engine rebuilt there and about to drop it in.

 

When did you drop your car off? I would've like to have seen it. My brother is here from NC visiting me and we were in the area yesterday so I decided to go by Neptune Speed and say hi to the guys.

 

^^ That's cool, got it dropped off on Wed. White FC w/ red hood on vert rollers. Looks shabby right now, but a definite work in progress.

 

awesome to hear the great reviews. just wanted to say thank you to neptunespeed again. they've always done the best work on my car and i wouldnt trust anyone else

 

^^ if it was'nt for your post bro..I would have never known about these guys. prop's to you trigg.

 

yoshi and yosuke should read this thread.
they deserve to know how they're doing.
or even, make a license plate frame with their name on it.

 

^^yo finishline..have u stopped by the shop recently n how's your FC coming so far?

 

Met Yoshiya & Yosuke at the Friday Autobacs meet.

Great people!

 

actually bro,
we were short on cash so i'm having a friend do it for me.
should be done pretty soon.
i'll even post a video of her running if you want.
