Another cheap rx8...

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.
