Ran my Z to the dealership, getting my fuel senders replaced today. Took the techs some nice donuts too. I know when I was in similar type of work, the little things like donuts were always appreciated.
OFC!!!!!!!

Mr.GaleForce, I think Steve has done his pre-celebration by buying the Recaro seat... LOL


Good afternoon Z fellows, I didn't have a chance to drop by here early today, was in a health care function promoting eyecare information, was production and fun giving out business cards...


Mr.kenchan, sorry to hear the G is getting all the dirt on its shoes... Hope you will get it all clean up tonight

Mr.GaleForce, do you really notice a difference between 94 and 91? Or you need to re-map the ECU to do the trick?

Lol@ the sonic. I'm not sure.



Hey mr.zman. . Yah, I've been thinking about the abarth but it wont be able to carry anything. I need utility... so this is why the mazdaspeed3 or GTI has been on my short list. I saw the new CX5 this am... not impressed. It looked like a hyundai.

Mr.kenchan, if you are going for the Sonic, take this one:

I doubt anyone can feel a difference between 94 and 91 octane. It's just that, when I got my Uprev done, I had 94 in the tank. It donned on me before I left the tuner that I might have to use 94 octane all the time with the new tune. The Tuner said I would have to. So, I want to get a 91 octane map as a "just in case" I can't find a gas station with 94 octane... I'm sure I could use 91 on my 94 tune and just watch/listen for pinging, until I find 94 but I don't want the hassle.


OFC!

I thought you where planning on running 91 to save money. Don't know how low I would go with the compression our motors have but 91 sounds safe.

94 is almost nonexictant in canada, we have 91, and works fine...

OH finally uploaded the Hypertech programmer, and put on my summer tires, 305/30/19 in the rear and 245/40/19 front

Im running 295 rear and 245 up front. You are def gonna want more tire up front. I wish my fronts were 265 to provide a tad more grip. Next time they will be.

Yeah, the next set will have a wider front for sure, these fronts were still good, but the backs were done.

Yes, that's why I would like a 91 octane map. My little town has 1 station with 94, if I need gas while out of town, well, then I'm hunting for gas... No bueno.

Yeah, the owners manual states 91 octane. I just wasn't thinking when I took my car in for Uprev. No big deal though, I'll run this tank out, put in some 91, do some data logging and get a modified tune. Then I'll have a 94 and 91 map
