I'm new to this forum so i figured i'd show you guys my car.
www.cardomain.com/id/explosivemazda
I live in the MX-3.com UBB pretty much but thought i'd branch out to other B6T groups.
let me know what you guys think...
PS i think you guys will enjoy this:
we arrived at the track (VMP) about an hour after we had hoped and got stuck in the tech line for half an hour. needless to say i was very anxious and wanted to run. i got a call from someone in the stands who reported some of the times which were in the mid 15-16 range. i hoped it wasnt a sign of my future times...
we get out of tech and strait to the staging lanes where i get paired up w/ a mean sounding civic hatch. at this point the track temp is around 100 degrees. we get to the burn-out box and i try and spray the chiller kit but realize that it is completely empty. so i'm freaking out while the civic does a hellacious burn-out. i know i'm going to lose. we pull up to the tree and i rev it to ~2k. green; i dump the clutch and bog horribly. the civic shoots out of the hole. the turbo spools and as i hit 3rd i blow by the civic, holding 4th till the traps. 14.6 @100 to the civic 15.0.
to some this may be good but i wanted more, so i head back to the lanes. get paired up with another hatch. i rev it to 2500 this time and hit a 14.3 @98. i knew she had more in her but i parked her until the night session.
after getting the bottled filled and consulting with JWMotorsports we turned the boost up 2pi and added a little fuel to the top end. when the night session began the track temp was ~60 degrees. once again i'm lined up with a civic. i calmly reach back and crack open the bottle and hearing the n2o rush out gets my adrenaline going.
as i approach the tree i give it 3 good sprays which gets a rise out of the crowd. i take it to 3500 this time and wait. light turns green i dump the clutch and the nittos are doing everything they can to keep traction causing some wheel hop which continued through 2nd but once into 3rd it was all over... she hooked and pinned me back. once again i held 4th until the traps. slowing down i knew it was a good run, but little did i know:
R/T:... .332
60'... 2.276
330... 6.00
1/8th ... 9.039
mph ... 80.93
1000 ... 11.684
1/4 ... 13.911
mph ... 101.29
(to the civics 17.794 @ 84.11)
i get my slip and i cant believe it. at this point i know i could hit a 13.5, so i head back to the staging lanes ready to add a few more psi and spray the chiller down the track. but apparently there were to many cars in the open session so everyone only got one run. i was extremely upset needless to say. but overall i am pleased.
these runs where on 205-55-14 nitto 555r's on 13.5 psi of boost and NOT spraying the chiller down the track; just at the line.

kliff notes: B6T powered MX-3 goes 13.9 @ 101.

Hmm how did I miss this post?!?  Definitely good times!  I have thought about the NX interCooler kit also but that will be after some serious engine work, like piston and head work.  I might have some questions on some things if the MX-3 owner is out there still?
