    fog light question

    Hey, check out Summit Racing. I broke my passenger fog light this summer and replaced them with a new set for about $60. They are made by a company called Westin. The part number is FEY-09-0205. They fit like a charm and you can easily transplant the stock wiring harness from the old fogs into...

    Mazda Sport Exhaust install

    I got my MSP sport exhaust today. Other than the f**&ing bolts rusted to the flange (hooray for Sawz-All's), the whole install was a cinch. I too have a gap but no exhaust leaks whatsoever. Compared to the fart can I had before, this exhaust is tha s***. Hooray for Mazdastuff.com.

    Sounds like a valve tap?

    You dont need to switch gas. Its ur plugs. My 02.5 had Bosch's in it and it did the exact same thing. Go for NGK and see whats up. Besides, 4 plugs are less than the price of 1 tank of 93.

    Anyone else have hard time finding tires for stock wheels

    Bought the Fuzion Zri's from a Firestone near OSU. Ran me about $82/tire installed and balanced. Damn grease monkeys didn't know how to get the weights off the rims and scratched them pretty bad. But other than that, the Fuzions are great tires and have SUPERIOR wet traction. However, when...

    Oh, quick question (forgot to put this in last post). I want to try two light mods on the exterior 1) to get the fogs to come on without the headlights and 2) to get the side markers to light up when the park/headlights are on.
