    is FMIC worth installing?

    do it. i'm not sure how much power it will add (search!) but it will increase performance by reducing BATs and eliminating heat soak... if you can get it cheap, do it!

    Carbon cleaning?

    i'm not sure what they do. ask some questions. it's probably a fuel induction service. try this: 3m fuel induction kit the only way to really get it clean is to pull off the intake manifold and clean it by hand. but then your valves are still dirty... alas.

    So I decided to YANK my "M"blems off tonight... (pics and instructions)

    New 1ST gen MAZDASPEED 3 hood

    late reply ftl.. mazda is competing with other car makers who put scoops on their cars. everyone has a scoop now. it doesn't mean their better. if you read the file i linked, you will see that the middle of the hood has lower pressure than the front. which MAY mean that the charge is less...

    *testing THE WATERS* rx8 oem rims

    uh, tactful? it's not like i was being a dick, i was just throwing an idea out there. many people would never even think of calling a shipper and sorting out prices for pickup, packaging and delivery. i didn't know if you were one of those people, so i thought i'd throw that out there. maybe...
