    Had some fun on the highway

    Coming home tonight from Tampa, about an hours drive. As I'm pulling onto the highway, I see a white Jetta that's lowered, has a Bora badge. I figured I'd try to get him to "play with me" if you would. No bite after about a minute or so. I'm in the right lane, he's in the left, and center is...

    Went to the track last night...

    Did I mention I live in Florida. Humid as hell so your engine won't run good florida? Yeah. That Florida. On the coast so it's even worse. Oh well.

    Went to the track last night...

    I shaved off .1 seconds by "shaving off" my back seat and passenger seat. Other than that, didn't do anything else special. Of the three runs, my fastest was 16.6, slowest was 16.72. I'd say those are some pretty consistant numbers. I raced 2 integras actually...Both running nitrous oxide. One...

    removing rims

    Trying to put on new rims I got and was wondering, who the F*@#% do you pull off the rim? We undid all the nuts, even the little plate peice, and the rim isn't coming off. Any help please thanks.

    Don't grab the steering wheel too hard..

    Cause if you did it like I did, you'd only be typing with 4 fingers on your left hand. I sprained my pinkey on my left hand after my hand slipped off the wheel and I tried to grab it. ( I was doing an e-break U-turn).

    CAI numbers..

    Does anyone have numbers for gains on an of the CAIs sans MHP. I know someone dynoed with an MHP a while back, but I was looking for the numbers on the Injen CAI mostly.

    Went racing last night

    My best run was a 16.70 in the 1/4. Didn't lose one race. I ran against a yellow protege 5, a saturn, a couger, and a mystique. Had a great time. Times varied from 17.4-16.7

    Drive train loss

    Again, this is only what I've heard over the past few days. Still, 20% is a bit high, come on, that's 30 horses we're not having. 5 -10 more would be even nice.

    Drive train loss

    Ok, well, did some talking with friends. And I can only say one thing about our car's stock whol drive train setup. It sucks. On an automatic car, normal power loss is approximately 20%. On a manuel car though, it should only be about 5%. Mazda really screwed us over on this one. Didn't someone...

    Anyone seen corksport lately?

    Well, if anyone else has noticed, this is for those who haven't. If you go to www.corksport.com 's website, and goto the Protege page, a couple new links have been added. The one of main interest to me would probably be that Protege Drag Racing Project one there. Granted it goes nowhere, still...

    I sooo owned a Civic EX

    Early today I was down on a little known road going to the local mall. This road is 4 lanes with a nice sized median all the way. The road itself is only 6-8 months old, so it's still pretty new and black. Well, before we got onto that part of the road this younger guy was riding my ass. He was...

    Ok, has anyone heard of this? I found it off a protege site and thought it looked interesting. Just curious to see what exactly it is..

    Spark plugs and ignition systems oh my!

    Ok, what's the deal with that stuff? What is good? What should I stay away from? I've got a little bit of money saved up(not enough for a turbo unfortunately!) and would like to work out the minor things like an MSD ignition system and new spark plugs ect along with some astetic stuff. Please...
