your car is a whore!

Makes me want an FD :( BTW, did sk8world run?

i couldn't see the car.

not good... Had issues. Fingers X'ed it being an ingnition issue rather than a motor issue! Going back over my logs they look very crazy. I could not get a run in with out total ignition break up= no power at the top of 3rd and all 4th gear. First pass= Fell on its face out of the hole but pulled like beast all the way till the 1/8th mile then I had to coast the last 1/2+ of the track but still ran a 12.1.. second run same kinda of result but break up started in 3rd. Last qualifing pass was about the same pulled thru 2nd before break up started. Even with all the issues I had it was a fun day but I need a break for a few weeks before I even try to figure the car out....Fun seeing and hanging out with Don, Phil, Chris and Brian...

Mike,

I trust you got the 411 on all three of those girls? If so, care to share? :D

There's some hussy touching your car!

Great seeing everyone. Sucks Mike was having problems, hopefully it's just the coils.

PHIL, how'd you do in the show??

I won "Best Mazda"... and got a gianomous trophy! Of course there weren't much competition.

Congrats none the less.

congrats Phil!

Well I think its my motor. Had to put the plugs back in to fire up and get it off the trailer this morning. Went ahead and pulled the L2 wire off the coil before I started it up. It fired up but idled a tad worse than before. I could here the coil firing away. I put the wire back and and it ran a tad better. My thought at this point is I lost compression on face. Maybe a side seal stuck... Either way it needs a compression test first. I hope I am wrong but thats my gut feeling at this point. Hmmmm wonder if Fritz still has that full bridgeport motor..

Dang Mike! I hope its not your motor.. I guess only way is to get a compression test done.

Also, you need to talk to Luis. I still think he's one of the best builder around.

PHIL

Mike,

Is your engine grounded pretty well?? When I had my black FD, I had issues at high RPM and it was ground. When I put new ground on, it idled and rev'd much better.
