where at what time, etc? I live in Indy.

I can tell you that the 70's are black in color and MUCH softer than the 90's which are Redish color. I started with the 90's and could take the harsh vibrations, so I switched to the 70's and its tons better.

My suspension is also squeaking horribly. But only when I come to a stop and accelerate again. I had someone look at it, and they told me it was coming from several places. Mainly the swaybar bushings and the endlinks. I purchased some AWR rear swaybar bushings to hopefully fix that problem...

maybe it would look better if you cleaned up your interior alittle, get some nice floor mats, and armor all the plastic down in the footwells. What color is the outside of your car? I could see if it's laser blue or something.

So now I'm curious to how this works. Does the oil when heated penetrate into the rubber or something? Kinda like a bronze oil bushing?

I assume you are stock intercooler piping, so make sure you check the connections from the Turbo > Hot side IC and then cold side IC >TB. Those plastic pipes can expand and/or crack and loose their seal.

Interesting solution Alejo_NIN, too bad I just bought the AWR's from street unit last week. I can't take the squeeks anymore, it's getting embarassing.

I think you mean an engine damper. See Link below: http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/price/Mazda/Protege/performance/Engine/Damper_Kits what durometer engine mounts are you using? There are a couple different "stiffness-es". I have the 95 in the front and it's not too bad.

one of the drivers is labled "prolific" and one is labled "cypress". I have no idea what that means. They both say for "USB to serial" drivers. From what I understand you have to install the drivers BEFORE connecting to the AFC? COrrect? Should I reinstall the drivers and then reboot with...

I actually have the cd with the drivers on it for the serial > usb cable that I bought. However, it has about 10 different drivers on it, and I'm not sure which one is the correct one. I have tried to download some of them but I can't seem to get them to work.

morning bumpage.... I'm gonna buy a straight through serial cable today and see if I can get it to work.

Ok, still not working. I went into device manager and changed the COM port #'s, but still not communicating with the AFC. Does it even make sense to change those if I am using a USB > serial connection? I could understand a serial > serial connection. Hell, I have no clue as of right now.(argh)

definitely seems to be a connection problem. I'm gonna go back out the garage and see if I change the COM port # if I can get it to recognize it.

Hey guys, wondering if anyone who had experience loading new maps on the AFC could give me some help. Once I start the R4 software I get the first screen where you can enter an new customer, etc. But it won't let me type anything in the lines. The only thing I can do it select file > new...
