Fred's master FE3 index thread - Please don't post.
Hello fellow fe3ers :-)
I'm throwing together an index thread to link to all things FE3 related and interesting. At some stage I might attempt to turn it into a new FAQ. For now it will contain links to the following things : Good off-site info Good threads in this subsection Related and useful threads in other subsections An index of all the posts in my big thread with descriptions Multiply the number of pictures by about 200kB per image to get approx loading size. The latter will be first on the list because it annoys multiple people trying to sift through it all (including me) when they remember something and want to see it again. I'll put the other three things in first, 2 posts each for future proofing. The idea will be that there are NO images in this thread so its quick to load and read. It will end up text heavy, but once open, a quick ctrl F [enter keywords] will get what you need. PM me with additions and suggestions and unlike DJJake I will respond and action it or at least discuss it with you. If your addition gets in, I'll definitely give you credit for it :-) I'll put in all the posts right now as fast as I can, and bump it when I've edited it to contain all the stuff that I want in here. That way it wont keep surfacing at the top of the screen everyday for the next week or two or ... I hope its some use to someone :-) Fred. progress report : threads in this section, not started. threads in other sections, not started. off site info/projects section looking pretty good. my build thread is totally indexed. RIP SleepCounter :-( we will miss you. If people stuck to answering the question as asked,and providing useful positive comments,everyone would be a lot happier.Think about it!

Good off site FE3 specific stuff.
incomplete wikipedia page :
Mazda FE-DOHC engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia randys page on his initial conversion Mazda FE3 motor errors : large overbores are NOT OK!! fe3ts specs page Untitled Document errors : ? jaybs bullsh|t sales pitch listed here only to tell you that its total drivel. FE3 detail info. By Jay B. many errors : virtually the whole thing is a crock of the proverbial 1st gen MX_6/Probe GT Turbo chat again, JayBs work, who wants to bet that they had a special english crank? i'll bet against you! frauds fe3 myths thread AMAZD :: View topic - fe3 myths many (mostly?) errors, but mostly corrected by me (fe3tcourier) further down the thread. corrections by me here : AMAZD :: View topic - fe3 myths if there are errors with it, feel free to ask me to correct them. evos original fe3 super mega faq hosted offsite now because while trying to correct some of the fairly prolific errors and misleading stuff (same errors found spread all over the internet) he broke it, and it cant be accessed here anymore. link to broken thread here : http://www.mx6.com/forums/fe-dohc/58...last-post.html thread that that faq was based on : http://www.mx6.com/forums/fe-dohc/45...hing-else.html (FE3 information, specs, performances, where to buy, parts, and every thing else) quite a few errors in both, here for historic purposes only now.

If you have seen it before, scroll down, whatever you want is direct linked from the posts below with image counts. If you think i have missed a good project somewhere (i'm certain that i have) please pm me a link and i will include it above. The following 20 odd posts are an index of my posts in my ute fe3t swap thread, its here because there are a LOT of good detailed photos of stuff thats of interest to fe3ters and the threads pages have too many images to load cleanly. thus, the idea is that you search here to find keywords that relate to your interest, and only open the appropriate post with the pics you want. It should save anyone using it bandwidth and time. If at any time anyone else does a full on mainly engine based thread with a lot of pics and info, it should probably be referenced in this thread too, once again, pm me the details. if i see it and its good, i'll put it up without prompting for sure :-) Last edited by fredio54 : 4-24-08 at 8:40. |
