hehe, goign a lil off topic now but kincumber to copa is a good one, i love that drive, as to copa... yeah its fun, but not my cup of tea, too many unpredictable situations and residential roads.... be nice if they fixed the road to avoca from there...
driving from lisarow to silverwater you see a lot of variation, and central coast roads are very smooth in comparison!!!, well except to macmasters....

btw i'm trying to get some more runs down to patonga happening, that is a fun road, with a lot of smooth tight corners

and goign back on topic, the amount of down changes you'd be doing for the corners would make the popping stand out badly

That's my favourite stretch of road... I learnt to drive along there, so know it very well... mmmmmm

Oh, and yes it was the Curiosity Show, I used to love that show.

on another note if the car s hunting at idle (800-1200rpm) you probably have a vacuum leak somewhere...

my car hunts at cold, and with the a/c on a bit... then it settles quick... is it just undecisive, or farked?

i think i figured this out. i found out why my ba does it but only applicable to ba's. anyone who has had a mod from mazda to fix a flat spot at idle should check that the thermistor installed cant short. the ring on mine was shorting the two splade connectors on it. when this happened it was popping and having trouble idleing. dunno if its ment to be stuck somewhere but mine was just swinging loose. anyone who can post pics for me please leave a note so i can post the pics of how i fixed, ta.

dunno mine got worse again...

sounds like a jack hammer, on downhill closed throttle... jsut a fraction of throttle makes it stop.... i'm really clueless as to what it could be, but its really pissing me off!!!
