I'd go with option D. Same thing happened on my MSP, I didn't want to pay the 700 for the rebuild kit, so I bought a used garrett t3-t4, but it was a pain to rebuild and the flanges didn't match up. I never got around to making custom flanges. Looking back, I wish I would have forked out the...

Awesome, so let me make sure I understand this correctly... Accessport will delete the CEL if I decide to have the local exhaust shop put in a custom exhaust? That sounds like the route I'd prefer to take. Are there any significant hp or tq gains with accessport? Sounds like I still have a lot...

And with the seafoam... is it okay to put some in with the oil like a conventional vehicle?

Yea, I wouldn't have thought of coils. I did think of seaform, but wasn't sure if it was safe. First mod I'm planning is cat-delete. From what i've read, it's a necessity. True? Do you guys know of any replacement pipe that will keep the check engine light off? Any exhaust suggestions in...

So, I looked at quite a few cars and ran into another 8 today. I took everyone's advise and redlined it quite a few times, drove on some winding roads. AWESOME CAR!!!! So, I'm officially a Mazda owner again. Looking forward to modding it a little, but I've got some research to do. First, the...

Thanks guys! I keep going back and forth. The thing I loved about the MSP is that is handled so good, but would still smoke a V8 off the line. I have been wondering how much boost a could hold up to also, so that helps. I've looked into a couple MS6's, they're just really hard to find! I did...

haha. Thanks, I've been spending all day looking into peformance parts trying to decide if the car is the right one for me. I think I'm going to go with the rx8. It handles so freaking good. I have a couple extra turbo's and a big intercooler i could use to up the torque. I've always heard...

For whatever reason, I recently traded my heavily moded MSP for a truck :/ I've been looking at a few RX8's but am not extremely impressed with the performance, specifically the torque. Can anyone give me some quick words of advice? Is it fairly easy to get some low end torque? My goal would be...

I just got some Ground Control Coilovers on ebay for the same price. $400

The turbo from the eclipse is $125. Thats the only reason I asked. Hopefully it works alright... I may upgrade sometime, but for now its my daily driver. Thanks for the advise guys!!

I just blew a turbo seal according to my mechanic. I'm finding the stock turbo is not rebuildable according to previous threads. I know a guy who offered to sell me a turbo off a 95-99 eclipse, its a garrett t25. Does anyone know if the flange matches or is close enough to use? If the turbo is...

got the exhaust put on this morning, the cat was fine. I think i have narrowed it down to the idle motor.

I assumed it was throwing the maf codes because i have the jp fuel cut defencer. After 3 days in the shop they decided they think it is the idle motor. But not positive. For some reason the car starts up fine for them, I'm going to try one more place and see if the exhaust helps. my msp still...

Never any lights thrown. Everywhere I go they say there it too much aftermarket stuff done and they aren't sure. But it could be It could be in the cat. I'm getting a full exhaust put on in two days do I'll keep everyone posted. Thanks for the help. Also, one place I took it hooked me up to a...

It started as an every now and then thing, about once a month it wouldn't start after long drives. Now after I drive for about 15 min and shut it off it won't start. The engine turns over and I get about 1k rpm, then it dies. Any ideas? I took it to the Mazda dealership and they can't find it in...
