    Rust inside the fog light?

    I also have this problem. I'm led to believe that RING do a fog light which fits in this space exactly, for about 20% less than Mazda want for one light!!! Or, you can do what I'm doing and fit fog light delete trims from Street unit. :D

    Quarter Panel tire rub

    Not a chance. I have 18x8 rims with -47 offset, and 215 wide tyres and still had to roll the arches. I'm lowered on Eibach springs. The rims where originally -50mm offset, but I fitted a 3mm spacer. 235 rubber and a 40 offset won't just rub your fender, it will more than likely wreck them if...

    Stock Air Intake Mod?

    The K&N panel and drainpipe mod...... :D Takes air from the undertray, just ahead of the gearbox. Driving through rivers is not recommended.... I dunno if it actually works powerwise, but it sounds a bit better. Not as loud as an induction kit, just slightly louder than standard.

    oil light

    How many miles have you done? Could be a blocked oil strainer in the oilpan, or a blocked filter.

    Rusted in not even a month of use!!!!

    I would say those parts are your original parts, and have been dipped and stripped, possibly in rust remover, then re-fitted without any protection. Or at least the calipers. Theres no way those are new.

    Lowering Kit Question?

    You can save the rear links by taking both struts off at the same time, along with the sway bar. Thereby negating the need to remove the links from the struts.

    exhausts off ebay?

    There is decent ones on Ebay.... I have a 4" slash cut, universal fit, and a custom SS over axle bend. Cost me about $90 from Ebay UK, including P+P. And it sounds like this. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v487/nellyeff/?action=view&current=Eastmainscutandcomp.flv Must say though, that...
