    which ones better K&N Air Filter or AEM SRI.

    In response to my previous post, i have now had the CAI for a week and love it. However, i have found that the CAI provides better horsepower but lower fuel economy. Unfortunately i have to worry about fuel economy because its a daily driver with 68-72 miles per day. I was getting 29mpg...

    Why did you buy your MSP?

    Was actually trying to purchase a Mazda 6, 6cyl 5 speed, but the dealer wouldnt come off the price. Another salesman got me to drive the MSP and i was sold with no questions asked. Its been a great vehicle to own and tune.

    I think I fu**ed my rear sway bar, please help

    I would recommend having 2 jacks. One to lift the car. The other will jack up the rear sway bar so you can screw the screws back to the frame. I would also recommend unscrewing the screw closest to the front of the car first and then work on the bottom one. If you need me to go step...

    I think I fu**ed my rear sway bar, please help

    so i decided to drive the car regardless. It seems that the sway bar has moved back into its original position and the loose screw is not affecting performance because the other 3 screws are holding the bar in place. If any one has questions on replacing the rearswaybar bushings, then pm me...

    I think I fu**ed my rear sway bar, please help

    so i purchased 20mm poly bushings to replace the factory squeakers. It was a biotch to take the 4 screws out and change them. When mounted the bushings back, they did not sit in the same spot on the sway bar, as they previously did. It seems that the bar shifted to the right about 2 inches...

    Just a question on CAI- "Thinking outside the box"
