i did a dyno today 260whp and 241wtq

gained 14whp and 14wtq with vibrant header downpipe


Tumuerte - u running stock intake?

our cars i think have 15% drive loss

 

damn.. factory i made 255hp, 255lb.ft torque.. i haven't even started yet lol..

 

Holy Mazda!

geez..you guys were on the dyno and I was at home cleaning the car...my priorities are all wrong...lol Maybe the the clay bar and zaino will make my car faster...less drag!

 

Yeah brother! All is stock in exception of the parts replaced by the Stage 2 Kit.
If it's only 15% drive loss, then I'm looking at 306 hp at the crank with 289 ft-lbs of torque, I'm still smiling


D man, tks for the info. I guess I already had it in the PM, hehe. And yeah, you should have joined us at the dyno, the price lured me in and finding out just how much of a difference the Stage 2 made.

Wow wlee, those are nice numbers for a stock set up. I never knew the Mazda speeds were that powerful. What is it rated from factory?

 

Frank.. the stock rating is 263hp, 280lb.ft torque..

so im at 293hp, 293lb.ft... way under-rated.. that's using 15% drivetrain loss calculation..

both of you guys are pullin' some real nice numbers..

its a hell of a difference over the Cobalt to be totally honest.. i don't really think the cars are comparable though..

they are meant for two different things..

 

hey guys i just got back from the court and i won my trial, i was in there for like 2 min, judge just told my lawyer to come back on the 17th and get my fine, i only got charged with careless and 260$ fine, i didnt lose my liscence, pigs made too many mistakes on thier report, they didnt even show up to the court haha
so im gonna be seein u guys on the 13th and hopefully 19 to ohio if i fix my car by then

 

I'm so happy to read this....igor good luck and plz join us 12 and 19th

 

Iggie..that is awesome news!

 

yea i'll be there on the 13th and i'll go to ohio on the 19th

 

I'm thinking of meeting more of you fellas on the 13th. I also spoke with a buddy at work that has a modded NA Cobalt. He and I would like to see what numbers it's running so we may call up Joel. He's from the Chatham area, so it'd be a nice cruise for him.

As for the 19th, I'd like to go, I just can't commit just yet as the work schedule might change near the date.

 

I think there might be two others guys coming out on the 13th with SS/NA's. I'd like to go on a small cruise somewhere on the 13th maybe after we gather at the waterfront. Maybe to Amherstburg and back along the river...something along those lines. Just a thought?

 

thats sounds good, just hope the weather is good on the 13th

 

im not sure if i can go on the 19th its 2 weeks from now and im not sure if my car if gonna be fixed by then

 

well stop stalling and get it fixed...lol We need all the people we can get for the Columbus trip.

 

yo darren im tryin man, im waiting for my damn money from income tax, they told me 10 to 15 days and ohio trip is in 16 days so thats whats slowin me down haha maybe if u can let me borrow 1000$ and i pay u back in 2 weeks hahah then i'll be 100% sure to go

 

you can borrow $1....now you just need $999. easy enough!...lol

 

hahahah 1$ wouldnt help at all , but im gonna try gettin money somehow earlier from someone maybe cuz i really wanna drive down to ohio too, i already ordered tires, i just need a new axle

 

Weather is not looking good, Saturday: Cloudy Periods, Sunday: Rain. Although it may shift, I think we're likely to be rained out. If it's just sprinkling, it would still work, at least the meeting part. The cruise as Darren suggested can still be a go. I don't mind a little rain myself. It's snow that sucks.

I don't believe the forecast anything beyond three days away. They said this weekend was supposed to be rain last Tuesday, but now look at the awesome weather we have in store. Have some faith, and maybe we'll get lucky.

As for the Amherstburg cruise, that's a great idea. I'd be in for that for sure. If it's warm enough and the sun is shining, that's a great way to take a ride. Sign me up!

 

yah...that crappy forecast can change anytime. Maybe we should do it this Sunday....haha or is that short notice not work for everyone?

All in favour of meeting this Sunday let me know..it's supposed to be a great day.

 

man they cant even predict for 2moro not 8 days lol

sing $503,000 in federal and state gas tax revenue to pay for overtime, nine police agencies in Riverside, California sent more than one hundred police officers to surround a gathering of automotive enthusiasts. Owners of imported sport compact cars had gathered at the Canyon Crossing shopping center on Friday night to swap stories, talk about their passion for cars and show off the latest enhancements to their rides. At around 11pm police surprised participants by blocking all exits with fifty police cruisers. Officers then began a warrantless search and interrogation operation of the 150 vehicles that were present.

"If you're not into street racing, why would you need that?" Riverside Police Traffic Sergeant Skip Showalter asked an enthusiast during a similar crackdown last year. "Why would you want more power going to your car?"

Police issued a total of forty-eight tickets for "engine modifications" with police accusing the owners of the parked vehicles of being street racers. Another fifty tickets were issued for paperwork violations, dark window tinting and lack of a front license plate. The most revenue, however, will be generated from the fees imposed on twenty vehicles that were confiscated. Despite labeling the parking lot raid as taking place at a "street racing venue," Riverside Police offered no evidence that any street racing actually took place.

Across the state, gas tax funds are regularly used to fund similar crackdowns that generate big revenue. In 2004, the California Highway Patrol issued a total of 101,553 "modified car" citations worth $10.5 million according to CHP data obtained by TheNewspaper.

Other law enforcement agencies participating in Friday night's raid included the California Highway Patrol, Riverside County Sheriff's Department, and police from Baldwin Park, Fontana, Irwindale, Moreno Valley, Ontario and Mount San Jacinto Community College.

 

so should we just wait till the original date scheduled?

 

damn...look at darren holdin it down! who knew?

Thanks Matt..someone's gotta be the leader...haha
