III Japanese Cars Meeting - Suviana - Part I


Grande giornata in compagnia di altre centinaia di pazzi malati dei motori, come noi... Le auto, in questo appuntamento erano veramente tante, quasi non riuscivano a starci tutte nel parcheggione dell'evento. Per me che ho già partecipato al primo e al secondo evento, è stato visibilissimo un aumento spropositato delle auto presenti e chissà cosa riserverà il futuro, forse una location più grande e altrettanto bella? Moltissime anche le MX5 presenti che quasi, occupano un lato intero del parcheggio. Un ringraziamento allo staff, che sicuramente si è dato moltissimo da fare per organizzare questo unico evento, sempre in crescita.



Per fortuna anche il tempo ci ha dato una mano, ne caldissimo, ne freddo... Menomale! In teoria sulla giornata, fino all'ultimo c'è stato l'alone di dubbio della pioggia!





Ovviamente, questi eventi sono ricchi di situazioni e personaggi con la GGG maiuscola, che ovviamente, "chi c'era sà', come il PAZZO da rinchiudere (in simpatia ovviamente) che: "ma va FORTISSIMOOOO", chi scalda i panini, rigorosamente JDM sul motore della miatina, indubbiamente hanno quel sapore JDM che gli altri toast del chiosco non hanno, e l'impressionante serie di revving/sfiammarate di 4 paurose Subaru.

NC Service at Home! Engine Oil Replaced

Yesterday, first Service manteniance at home, on the NC... After 5 years of Mazda warranty period, is time to fuck Dexelia OEM Oil, for put into the engine a good fully sinthetic oil: Motul 8100 X-Cess 5W40. The operation has needed only a new oil filter cup wrench, because the filter was too strenght after last service in Mazda Center... If you need information about this cup wrench, search for a 15 sided, 76mm tool. And remember to buy a new oil drain plug gasket of this size: 14x20x1,5mm.

Next step: Gearbox and Differential Oil replace.

Finally a new set of high pressure radiator hose clamp seems to have solved my water disappearing in the water expansion bottle.

Na Rebuild - Bought Used Set of Superleggera!

Finally, this weekend i've bought an old used set of OZ Superleggera, a classic italian wheel... One of the lightest wheel on the way (5,2Kg - 11.5lbs), found at relatively low price. The set is not in perfect condition (Low Price = Low Quality) but i want to use it on track, so appearance is not my priority. One wheel probably need a repair, but i couldn't resist to install this set on the NA, for see how it looks. Tires are not the correct size (195/45R15), so next step will be a new semislick set in 195/50R15, and obviously lowering the car!


220Km in this condition! ;-)

NA Rebuild - OEM Seats Cleaning

Finally on the NA again, after summer holiday time...

Some work done:
- Left window was really slow, and the right one totally blocked! I've take down ALL: windows, guideways, window motors. Lubricate all guides, and reassembled all. Now the result is: Left Window is fast and Right was slow, but now work (before, were totally blocked)!

- Seats Cleaning:
in hot driving day, those seats always leave on my pants a yellow stain! WTF! Yesterday i've decided to take off upholstery from seats and throw it into the washing machine. Today i should see some result, when completely dry! I hope!




- New 6 high pressure hose clamps, from UK, for the new silicon hoses kit, but clamps are not the correct size! I've just ordered a smaller kit.
