In reply to Dusterbd13 :
Yea, I knew it had a small leak. I thought it was from trying to teflon tape some straight threads on on the coolant temp sensor adapter.
I found out i had a leak when I did an autocross in Savanah and they asked me kindly to not go back out on course due to the small leak.
I fixed the coolant temp sensor housing with a Viton o ring (as it is supposed to be). The leak apparently got worse, because when I filled up the system, it started leaking even without pressure on the system. Drip drip drip drip.
So, this will be the 3rd year in a row that this car competes at the GRM challenge. I think I have a shot at winning gtn$. I'm gonna go a bit more aggressive on the alignment. I'm gonna take some easily removed weight out of the car.
We shall see...
I am also trying to bring Toymans 2004 mazda 3. Still some work to do on it...
The mazda 3 will probably carry over into next year's challenge as well.
I'll get pics in a bit.
Water pump changed. No more leaks!
I changed the intake before the throttle body.
I now have backup lights!
Haven't driven the car since all of the changes, other than to back put of the garage. Clutch feels normal! That's good because I was worried since I changed the clutch type and htob spacing.
I am excited to drive it tomorrow and see if I made anything better!
