Rain can't stop a 2! And it can't stop you!
I have unused corksport inserts for front & rear, have AWR 70 duros but they are still on the msp and it will be a while on the rear.
2 vs miata on tires that are bad in the rain is nowhere near an equal comparison lol. The only difference is that you'll go off the track facing forward!
some guy down in Grove Port was selling an incomplete injen cold air intake for the protege for $40, so i figured i'd pick it up since that seemed pretty cheap. It's a bit* rough, someone painted it with some sticky smelly black paint, it only came with one 70mm coupler (one of the two that connect to the MAF) and the pipe that connects the filter to the MAF has a flat spot/dent in it. I imagine one of it's previous owners might have used it to squash a spider and in the squashing process dented the pipe a bit.
It's not a huge* flat spot, but i wouldn't call it small. It's about an inch wide, and a little longer than an inch.
I wanted to know if, since the dent is up stream of the MAF, air going past the imperfection in the pipe would mess up the MAF's reading? I feel like i wanna' push the dent out but i think as soon as i try i'll get a crack in the pipe...
the area where the MAF connects to that pipe is a little chewed up as well, but i feel like i can smooth that part out easily.
I'd also like to know what size hose to use for attaching the intake pipes to the throttle body. The throttle body outer diameter is like 58mm correct? Somewhere around there... someone recommend using a 2.5" hose on that, so i guess i'd need a 2.5-2.75 inch hose with a 90 degree bend to replace the one that came with the injen originally eh? I appreciate any info-
-i don't know what they painted this thing with, but it's sticky and it makes my hands itch.

I'm running these on my Civic. They've done rather well in the rain so far, in 185/65-14's. Neither of our cars have torque. Only tire spin issue I had was in deep snow. Just realized they don't meet your speed rating tho.

Morning everyone!
went to my town's "cruise night" saturday. there was a small "meet" or gathering of the local idk..."tuners" i guess. The cruise was pretty lame. 2 hours of driving 15 mph up and down the main stretch over and over and over and over....and over. was cool for about the first 15 minutes. At the little gathering there were some evos and scubbies and lots of hondas. 1 honda guy tried to get into fights with everyone and it was hilarious. I no longer want to go to my local meets lolz. There werent any mazdas besides mine
nobody knew what it was either
