Hey now! (I actually started with a 323 and have since had four escorts) If I found a clean 323 anywhere nearby I'd be all over it.

I want a KLZE 323 very badly.
On that note.... someone on FEOA just tightened their cam bearing caps on their EGT (mazda BP) to 100 FOOT LBS.
member 1 said: ok guys im in the middle of swaping my ex cam on the intake side and cant find my book so does anyone know what the torch specs are on the cam bridges? thanx in advance
member 2 said: "torch" specs? You gonna set your ride on fire? Not sure what a cam bridge is. Do you mean cam bearing cap? Torque is 100-126 in lbs.
member 1 said: ya i cant spell does it show..lol.. yes i ment cam bearings .lol .. isnt 100lbs exstream for them thin bolts?
member 1 said: ok was real eary about putin 100lbs on these bolts so i set my snap-on torque wrench on 75 and tried it on the other cam that i didnt take off and it spun the bolts still so not tring to be a smart ****..lol but i dont think its takes 100lbs i tried a couple diff bolts to just incase that one was backed off so ill just wait till i find my book or hear from more then just one person so if anyone else knows please drop a line
EPIC. "Cam Bridges" and 100ftlbs of torque on those tiny bolts into an aluminum head. AWESOME.
As a proud Escort owner I Tried to join many many moons ago. Even trying to stick it out for the entertainment value was painful.

I would like to have seen that.

Oh you can... it's a daily occurence.
Go to www.feoa.net
IF you want to skip right to the lulz, go check out the "Kills Forum." There, you can read gripping stories such as:
"Lol i beat a late 80s Camry."
"I raced a 4runner today, and i won!!!"
"How do i modify my car so i can beat my buddy's automatic Neon? It's really fast, and i want about 250hp. I have $200 to spend."
The sad thing is... i AM one of the "grumpy old men" of the forum. Or at least i feel that way.
I'm 24 for Pete's sake.

OK, what I should have said was, penicillin can cure that....
I can't do feoa. Well, that's not entirely true, I can find good information if I dig but I can't do the day-to-day stuff on there. CP is a little more tolerable but still, there are maybe half dozen guys that know what's going on on CP so that's twice the what feoa has! and most of those guys are cross overs from CP anyway.
I can get quicker and more accurate BG information here.

Yeah, i don't know what it is about non-rotary Mazda forums...
MX6.com has about.... 5 useful members, and the rest are filler. CP is about the same. FEOA on a good day about the same.
Head over to alltrac.net, and your brain will asplode with all the info.
I never spend any time on FEOA, CP and Imazda pretty much are all I stick to. Celica, you ever spend any time on Probetalk? They're kinda bitchy, but lots of good info on that site.

I don't really like the bitchiness, to be honest. I'd rather dig through the crude and often hilarious humor on mx6.com to find the same information. (Though oftentimes buried years back in filth.)
I keep forgetting that i'm registered in imazda. I need to start going there more.
What about the infamous B16vtec.com !?
