I don't do any sort of competitive racing with my car but I do like to drive aggresivly on the street some times so I would like some improved stoping power. I'm also sick of cleaning the huge amounts of brake...

    Protege Front Wheel Bearing Service - LOTS OF PICS

    I'm in the process of doing this on my 2000 Protege. When I put my 24" breaker bar with a 36" extension pipe on the end I broke my breaker bar. This is no a chaep breaker bar either, its a Craftsman. I'm assuming the nut is not reverse thread right? I'm getting a 40" 3/4 drive breaker bar...

    2000 front wheel bearing

    Thats a good idea I will try that. $80 is a really good price. The best price I got was $180. I have a press anyway (I have a entire machine shop for that matter) so I'm going to do the job myself.

    Downpipe. Cat or no cat?

    Future 2008 mazdaspeed 3 build

    Front wheel drive is completly wrong for a performance car. It's the one thing I hate about the speed3 and the reason I'm considering getting a Mustang. The only reason I could see someone wanting more than 300whp on a front drive car is bragging rights. That being said I'm sure that the...

    HFC?? Worth it,

    I installed a Magnaflow "HFC" on my Corksport test pipe. Not sure if it made a diffrence over none I always ran the car with it. But there is a huge diffrence over the stock set up. I need a cat in my state to pass emissions so I never tried to run catless. If you need a cat high flow is the...

    Stroker Kit

    When you get right down to it they are all the same. They all have a crank, rods, pistons and so on. Unless you have a RX-8/7.

    Stroker Kit

    "I doubt anyone here has even attempted what you're speaking of." I have built many stroked motorcycle engines. other than the size (I have built a 1.5 liter motorcycle engine) they are not any diffrent than a Mazdaspeed engine.
