Hello all, new to the forums.

Hello everyone,
My name is Ryan, and this is maybe my 3rd visit to mx-3.com. I would like to start off by thanking solo_ryder for suggesting the sign up, it was the boost I needed to actualy do it.
As my Sig says, I am a former owner of a 1993 Ford Probe, I pulled the motor out of the Probe because the body was rusted beyond repair, but had an extremely strong motor. Said motor is currently powering my 6. The 6 is a 1993 mx-6 2.5L DE, I/H/ Res tp, 2.5 catback Exhaust, Stage 3 cm clutch, 9lb fw, RR Racing poly mm inserts, RR Racing udp, B&M sts, coned tb, I deleted the A/C, P/S, and the cruise control. That is all I can think of. My 6 is decently quick for what it is.
I also have a 1993 Mazda mx-3 here is the information on from the previous owner's fs thread.
2.5l klde 94 Probe GT bottom end, rebuilt.new acl rod/main/thrust washers. npr piston rings. polished crank. klze heads ported and polished. valve grind, new seals, ze springs, de retainers and locks, ze cams, combustion chamber ported (lowers compression now a ~9.2-9.4:1) new head gasket, water pump,new oil pump, timing belt and components...my guess is less then 3k on motor
brand new garrett t3/t4 57trim .60/.63 custom 2.5in mandrel bent exhaust to a new thrush muffler. no cat no egr. BEGI fmu albro 255lhp fuel pump, AFPR, new liquid filled gauge, new NGK plugs and wires, cap, rotor, turbo xs FMIC, turbo xs 38mm external wastegate, brand new HKS SSQV bov, oil catch can, doesn't have power steering. deleted for less troque steer,no A/c, no cruise control, no radio no speakers <- i didnt buy it with a stereo. comes with 15in kobe lights and the stock set of rims, theres a manual boost controller, stock injectors, running 5 psi all day long, short throw shifter.
With that being said, I got the car with definate problems. When I went to pick up the car I was told it leaked oil from the v/c's and it lost about 1 qt a week, well I drove it home (61st ST in mil to E in Kenosha) and I needed to add 1.5 qt's. So needless to say it leaked WAY more than I was told. The car didn't come with a w/b so I have no idea what my a/f is, but getting 12 mpg tells me that I am running insanely rich or I have a massive fuel leak. Since I have owned the car, I fixed the v/c's leaking, for the most part it seems like the front one may be leaking a little still, but not sure. When I pulled the vc's off there was more rtv than there was gasket so I would say that was some of the problem. I can't for the life of me get the car to idle cold, it fires right up no problem EVERY single time but if I don't pedal it there is no getting it to run until warm. it came with an afpr, but no fittings or lines. I just got off work, so I'm going to bed, if I remember anything else I will add it later, Nice to meet you all
