    Re-gaining low-end torque lost by muffler... resonator?

    Apparently the lady at the muffler shop thought I didn't have a resonator at all, which is why she recommended getting one. When I told her I have one, she said nevermind. maitai92, tell me more!

    Re-gaining low-end torque lost by muffler... resonator?

    Hey all, quick question... After I got my Mazdaspeed axleback and CAI installed on my '99 LX, I lost quite a bit of the low-end "pep" that my car had, but noticed gains in the higher-RPM department, especially with the intake. Anyway, I have been looking for a way to increase and get back my...

    Real quick question about lugs / if this rim will fit

    I called WheelMax and they said that the offset is "42," whatever that means. I asked the guy if they'd fit on a car w/ 4x100 and he said "Yes, definitely," but I want the A-ok from my Mazda bros. Yes?

    Real quick question about lugs / if this rim will fit

    I want to get Exel TZ-7s for my '99 Protege LX. It is 17x7 and includes 205/40/17 tires. What I don't understand is that it says "4 lug only"... sorry if I sound dumb, but what does this mean? I just need to know if these will fit so I can go ahead and order. Thanks.

    Found the wheels I want, but will they fit?

    I appreciate the advice, but who else has such good prices? I haven't researched enough places, but I LOVE these wheels and the price is very friendly.

    Found the wheels I want, but will they fit?

    Hey guys, I want to get the Excel TZ-10s from Wheelmax, which you can see just short of halfway down the page here. Thing is, I don't know what my lug/bolt pattern is on my '99 LX w/ stock 14" hubcaps. In fact, I have no idea what that even means. These wheels come in 4x100 and 4x114.3. Will...

    Looking for the "Hardcore Emo" kids spoof video! Help!

    Hey guys, I don't know whether it was on this forum or another, but there's this really funny spoof that these guys made of hardcore emo culture. There were two videos, called "This Is You" and "This Is You Too". I lost them when my old computer died from a virus and now I am hopelessly trying...

    Got CAI put in, having problems and need advice.

    Thanks, you guys are really helpful. Basically, without changing my intake or exhaust (which are my only performance mods as of yet), is there anything else (financially reasonable) that I could do in order to re-gain that low-end torque?

    Got CAI put in, having problems and need advice.

    Fortunately, the engine light has not come on after 4 days. Unfortunately, my off-the-line performance since getting my intake and MSP axleback is still worse than it was when I was running stock. I just don't get it. From 0 mph, I am so incredibly slow. If I push it hard after rolling at...

    Got CAI put in, having problems and need advice.

    Hey guys, I took your advice, and the check engine light is off now. Is there any way I could still be running too lean of a mixture and damaging my engine?

    Got CAI put in, having problems and need advice.

    Hey, my car is a 1.6L, which is what the intake is for. All of the connections seem solid, and they didn't notice anything "wrong" when I took my car back to have it checked out. I will definitely go and disconnect my battery now though. Thanks.

    Got CAI put in, having problems and need advice.

    Hey all, I had an eBay CAI put in on my '99 LX (had to get it done professionally because a metal bar and fluid container were blocking the fender hole), but I've been having problems since getting it installed. First off, is the intake supposed to make a moaning, exhaust-like noise when...
