I keep a tire pressure gauge in the car... actually in all of my cars... mostly for when I go on long trips, I check the pressure each time I fuel up. No leaks in the tire, I checked the pressure last night when it came on, checked it again when I drove home ~35 minutes of driving, and checked...

Alright so I dropped the car off at the dealer to have them fix the windshield wiper cowl squeek (got them to just put on a whole new one for free (naughty))... as well as see what they could do about the interior squeeks and replace all 4 of my rotors since they were all warped (11,800 miles...

My girlfriend is thinking about getting rid of hers right now. She can afford it and loves the car, but the car has been a headache. First off, people KEEP hitting the back end of the car!! Last 2 cars she had, no accidents, this one, 6 months and been rear ended twice, and then some clown cut...

After you get the car back from the dealer, call the mazda corporate office adn complain about all the problems you have been having with the car, and how you have been without it for such a period of time, act a little pissed off, and can you say Mazda bucks headed your way.

If you want a solid gauge taht will match the stock illumation, buy a premium series peak/warn prosport boost gauge in amber. That's soon on my list. Someone already has one installed on his steering column in red and it matches great. I have 4 prosport gauges i my MR2 and they are wonderful and...

HAHA... I did mine myself and the only thing that would probably not go back in right is that little lower air deflector... I wanted to rip everything out, but figured I would probably need to put it back in at some point.

one other issue that has been very common, not really a big problem, but something that needs attention is the suspension. Mainly in the rear where they stabilizer bar meets the suspension arm some people (myself included) have noticed the bolts are loose and can be taken off by hand. Some also...

Im gettin around 20MPG with the CAI, but I do all city driving pretty much, tons of stop lights, and I am not sure if it will help, but I haven't reset my ECU since the CAI install, so I am going to try that and see if it helps out.

The motor mount replacement from SU or AWR or even the inserts are made for the rear tranny mount, that IS NOT the mount that is prone to breaking... If you read all the articles from people who have gone through the painful day that the motor mount breaks, it is the drivers side engine mount...

I was Marine Corps. Got out last July. FD's, decent shape, definitely not cheap... FC's Decent shape, fairly cheap and have a fairly large aftermarket backing. 300Z, if you are gonna get a twin turbo, also gonna be pricey and pretty hard to come by. you could look for a good condition turbo...

Let me tell you this, if you go for the Si, DO NOT pay MSRP, I know you said you had a discount and I am not sure how, but I used to be a Honda Salesman, and let me tell you, if they say they can't come off MSRP, they can... IF you decide to go that route and get the Si, feel free to PM me the...

You mean KA ;) , but yea it's definitely the more expensive route. I hear ya about the 240sx... just can't think of too many other cars that are fairly cheap to get your hands on and fairly cheap to upgrade that are RWD... Unless you find yourself a nice AE86 Corolla, but they are pretty much...

I didn't even get far enough to get an intake... and it still sounded awesome, but I love the sound of the turbo through the CAI intake on my MS3 too.

I have a project 93 MR2 Turbo... that's my biggest sink hole... can't seem to stop modding it... It is getting a T3/T4 50trim turbo installed now and a full tune on an Apexi Power FC. I should be making ~330RWHP on 93 pump at 18PSI. It has a JDM Gen 3 3SGTE swap, unopened, stock fuel with all...

One other thing.. anyone who says the Civic gets better gas mileage... they are crazy... if you get one/drive one... those things are damn near impossible to keep OUT of Vtec.... they just make you want to rev it to hell and back because it comes crawling back to do it all over again!
