Mazda 3 are awesome - mates girlfriend just bought a new one.... and ran a 15.6 at the plex at drag combat...

Thats pretty dam good - oh and thats bog stock.

Do you know the engine capacity on the car that ran the 15.6? Was it 2.3litre?

we have a 2.3l mazda6 and a late 98 protege 1.8l and i reckon the protege goes harder

revs to 6.5k all the time n its reliable as fcuk

ive heard of one driving for 800kms without the radiator cap on n it finally blew a head gasket - was in summer too

was the only case of this happening that ive heard of

but still not as fast as the skyline but thats not always what everyone wants

hehe yeah mel its fun

i get scared drifting in my skyline sometimes, but in the 323 its just fun

prob cos its a front wheel drive but oh well

the 1.8L has a fair bit of torque too

in the wet i can have the wheels spinning for 100-150m down the road in 3rd gear, almost 4th

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
