This is why women shouldn't drive my car :(

[MazdaGurl]

Sorry about that! Hope XS will take care of it for you!

Hmmmm.....and she's supposed to be driving mine in 2 weeks. I don't have flex mesh, so can I expect my downpipe to be ripped out? [/b]

Well, there is a big difference between your car and Josh's car and I don't want to hurt his feelings so I won't say anything LOL.

[SpeedRacer]

oh and what is said difference?

AWD v.s. FWD Hummm mad wheel hop (and broken exhaust) v.s. no wheel hop.

[milehighspeed3]

Yeah, FWD + turbo = difficult to launch...

Josh did I see 14.2 with the new Cobb map?

[SpeedRacer]

yeah 14.2 or 3 on new map with consistant 2.1* 60ft.

Also Joe AWD = Broken Rear Diff vs Broken Downpipe hmmm which is cheaper :P

[Rich]

Rear diff ain't broke yet And I do stress "yet"....

Im too scared to launch my car hard becuase of that....The Turbine Tech rear diff mount is supposed to be a fuggin monster. That along with their front engine mount is the winning repair for Mazdas design flaw, too bad they are out of stock....


Josh, that sucks dude, my woman drives my car and all sorts of CEL's start happening, the idle messus up, I learned to not let her drive my car ANYMORE... but junk is junk, that TurboXS would have happened ripped in half anyways at some point,,,

[SpeedRacer]

Oh yeah It woulda ripped in half easily on the next run whether I ran or she ran so I'm not worried about it can't wait to see what TurboXS says.

[4doord]

Oh well Josh, this just gives you an opportunity to do your favorite thing, spend more money on the car. Stop feeling quilty Crystal

[Stealth01]

I'm with you, Eric. I don't hard-launch almost at all just because I don't want that rear diff to break. I heard a "clunk" in the back end twice this week when starting forward in 1st gear and I almost peed myself both times.

I think it was just my tires being stuck to the pavement, though. LOL.

[SpeedRacer]

Well good news is I called up TurboXS and spoke with Jermaine, he obviously knew about the issue in the first set of RP's and no questions asked ordered me a replacement... Atleast it was a simple replacement

[RX-7 Chris]

So the new one will not have that problem.

Crystal has launched that car hard and the diff mount holds up. I think that if you drop the clucth you get bad drive line shock that is why she slips it out. We are ordering a new stage 3+ clutch so maybe that will break the mount but we will see.
