thats the dissy O ring as stated above. its a common issue with these engines.

miah87 · 27-03-2010, 12:35 PM

Do you know how much is it to repair? According to my mechanic it is very expensive...

Clean_Cookie · 27-03-2010, 12:42 PM

LOL @ mechanic. to replace the actual DIZZY then yes, 300ish i think (maybe more from MAZDA) but the o-ring (which i need to replace) is like $5 from repco or equivilant.

70NYD · 27-03-2010, 02:42 PM

not even that lol
the dizzy is expensive cus its not just a dizzy, its a coil integrated as well.
to replace the dissy o ring
MOST IMPORTANTLY - CLEAN THE SURFACES WHERE THE DIZZY AND ENGINE MEET(AS VIEWED FROM ABOVE) (ie if two drinking cups are touching by the bottoms, you would clean the walls of the glasses where they join, sorry i dont know how to explain this better) AFTER CLEANING THE WALLS OF DIZZY/ENGINE SHANK THEN TAKE A WIDE BLADED FLAT SCREW DRIVER AND PLACE IT PERPENDICULAR TO THE JOIN BETWEEN THE DIZZY AND ENGINE. THEN GENTLY TAP THE SCREW DRIVER WITH A RUBBER MALLET, O IT LEAVES ONE LINE ACCROSS BOTH SURFACES. THIS IS YOUR REFFERENCE LINE TO PUT THE DIZZY BACK IN EXACTLY THE SAME PLACE...

take the cap of the dizzy (dont disconect the wires cus from what im reading u will plug them back wrongly)
after taking the cap of, get a 8mm (or could b 10mm) ring spanner and undo the 2 bolts that hold the dizzy to the engine.
after undoing the bolts, the dizzy should slide out. be carefull not to move the bevel spur gear that comes out of the dizzy around, or find a way to mark where it was (use a permenant marker for this (nicko)). there is a rubber ring on the dizzy. take this of. put the new one on.
put the dizzy back in place, making sure you alligned the gear so it was EXACLTY HOW IT WAS BEFORE
retighten everything making sure to allign the dizzy according to the marks you made at the start.
put the cap back on and start the engine.
if its missfiring its most likely that you did not align the gear properly, as the teeth might make it slip out of alignment when ur putting it back in
sorry about the long winded explenation but i was trying to put it in simplest of terms, so that you can do it your self and not get screwed by ur friend mechanic..

miah87 · 27-03-2010, 03:00 PM

That sounds so complicated, I wish I have a friend like you guys can teach me something bout engine...

NewGTXowner · 27-03-2010, 03:26 PM

To be safe, i recommend 14.5 inch rims. It's in between the heavy and large factor.

70NYD · 27-03-2010, 03:54 PM

wtf is a 14.5 in rim?? u mean wide?

I think he means 14x5

70NYD · 27-03-2010, 06:40 PM

that wouldnt improve his cunsumption by much. it would but not by much
i have 18x7.5 and i get 500 from a tank..
problem in his lies in other parts.
besides my 18x7.5 dont weight much more (if at all) than the stock steelies

miah87 · 27-03-2010, 08:03 PM

Yea, I don't think the wheels will make a car have a super bad fuel consumption... Beside mine is currently 14" rims... Looking for an 18 or 17 now... xD

Clean_Cookie · 27-03-2010, 11:32 PM

go 17's for cost of tyres and rims imho.

ill replace mine tomorrow but just readjust the timing yay.

miah87 · 27-03-2010, 11:52 PM

I'm always looking at firesport and ebay for white light weight 17 wheels... White wheels seems so rare...

70NYD · 28-03-2010, 12:28 AM

yeah 17 will be way better for tires.. my tires make me cringe at the replacement cost..
adding 1kg to the wheel is like adding 2 anywhere else on the car because of rotating inertia. heavy wheels are awesome for fuel consumption on the freeways and open roads but kill on city driving.
width of the wheel that is driven does not make an impact on the consumption, but width of undriven wheels makes a difference.
all of these differences are not that great however like u said

here is some food for thought. my wheels were gold when i got them. but for around 400 u can powdercoat them whatever colour u want. so get some that u love and change the colour.
also ARI i think is selling his white 18s (exactly same as myn)

here i even looked for the link

miah87 · 28-03-2010, 12:37 AM

Powdercoat: Will the colour comes off after a while?

I just hope putting 17" won't slow down my acceleration...

70NYD · 28-03-2010, 12:49 AM

nah powdercoat is awesome. it doesnt come off easily either (i only have a single chip after a year and thats due to a rock on the free way but that was within 1st 3 months, still hasent chippd past that point

)
it does involve taking the tyres of the rims but (about 5-10 per wheel from most tyre shopps)
also after u paint them however way, make sure u stress to the tyre shop to use pleanty of lubricant when putting the tyres back on, otherwise u might get a chip straight away

miah87 · 02-04-2010, 08:07 PM

Hey guys, all I need is for you to read what I'm writing here and reply some thought if you have one... I'm really having a hard time deciding... These are the few cars that I'm thinking of buying:

If you find that this post is too annoying, please ignore me... xD otherwise I will really appreciate everyone who read this... Thank you very much

As phildough told me in the other thread (do not buy abused car) which is this:

First car:
http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/...d=1266CE9E472C

Note: I'm gonna get this to a mechanic for inspection (anyone heard of promax?) He's quite good at turbo I guess or car like this... So, if the car is abused, he'll know it by checking on the engine am I rite? I guess not all turbo cars are abused cars ( just depending on how the driver drives...)

Second car:
http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/...=48&__Qpb=true

Third car:
http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/...423&__Qpb=true

Fourth car:
http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Automo...=true&AdOnTop=

Fifth car:
http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Automo...=true&AdOnTop=

For second, fourth and fifth cars:
How are the prizes? Are they reasonable or too expensive?
