I found out that my 323 can walk a stock LX. (stock 8v B6, cone filter that came on the car and no muffler because it rusted off) I was pleasantly surprised. We weren't really "racing" and didn't get crazy. Just a quick 2nd gear pull.

Considering the 323 is 300lbs lighter and only has 20 ft/lbs difference...I'd believe it in 1st or 2nd gear, especially if you both started from a low RPM lol. Your 8v makes more TQ at 2,500rpm than the BP does!-Jack

yo nerds- ZX2 temp gauge fluctuates a bit, like between 1/4-1/2 or whatever, heat is unspectacular. apparently it had the heater core replaced last year.
first thought is that there's some air in the cooling system, but is there something else I should check too?sigpic

ZX2s are known for having coolant fluctuations like that, I replaced the t-stat and bled the system countless times on my ex's car and it'd still drop while you were moving around, but go back to norm at idle lol-Jack

Speaking of cooling and ZX2, keep an eye on that plastic T-stat housing on the side of the head. After some heat and miles, they tend to develop cracks.92 Mazda MX3 GS> For sale, $1750 OBO

Try burping the system, it could have air in it. Otherwise maybe look at blocking off a section of the rad to raise the temp a bit, especially in the colder months.-Jack

While my gauge stays around 1/4 when it's cold out, and around 1/3-1/2 when it's warm out, I have no issues with my zx2's heater. I mean, it isn't as warm as my old 323's, but it's still warm enough to make me turn the heat down on long drives becuase it get's so hot. Your zx2 shouldn't be too different, so I'm also guessing your zx2 has some air in the coolant system.
And for those saying the b6 is ok torque wise, it sort of reminded me of the ford 1.9. They are both more undersquare designs compared the the bp, which helps make low end torque, which is what you want for 2nd gear pulls at low speeds. My old pony could pull pretty hard at lower speeds. The problem was when you got going faster. It didn't have the high rpm power the bp had, and that's where it got beat. Same with b6.
Anyways, I fixed the exhaust leak it has had for a while now. Turns out that the gasket I just put on a while back for the down pipe was already blown out. It was a cheap one, though. This time I went with a fel pro gasket. Hopefully it won't happen again.Last edited by Racerboy; 02-25-2013, 11:56 PM.My family has lots of bg's!
