Eneos brings up about 500 questions and no answers. The search 'best motor oil' doesnt answer questions for my app, my car is different than everyone elses and wanted to get up to date information given recent reformulations. I read that article on this forum (minus the recommendations). I...

Best Oil Filter? What do you think the best is? When I say best, I mean a balance of filtration capability combined with high flow capability. Ones like the Baldwin-Hastings (whom make Amsoil filters) are kings of filtration but I have heard they stop flow and to just use a cheapie. Also, what...

If you want to maximize range, you want to mount it up high giving both the front and rear sensors (if it has rear) unobstructed view through the front and rear windshield. Furthermore, you want it mounted as level as possible and you do NOT want it mounted where the front windshield gets super...

Hello The person who owned the car before me seemed to have replaced it with a VR3 unit. Having searched here and seen pictures, it looks like the Kenwood unit is pretty nice. Is it worth trying to hunt one of them down or just get an Alpine or Pioneer? I need normal CD capability, radio and the...

I'm not against going with the built internals...with that said I would phase it due to costs as the next mods would be the turbo/manifold/engine management/fuel upgrades/clutch/and probably a better tire (can you say PS2 or GSD3F1?). The shop seems confident that they can get it safely in the...

Thank you so much for all this information! My guy feels that 250-300 on the stock bottom end will be okay (he says NOTHING above 300 tho) with the in shop tune they do on their own dyno, their preference of engine management, upgraded pump and injectors and other related accessories. He's been...

My best friends all live in Parkville so the night usually starts their. Mon, Tue, Thur, Fri and Sat are all do something days. By all means come party. Nothing beats having a few beers, getting shitfaced, taking your shirt off as if you are Fabio and then sing a song completely off key. No but...

got pics? There are a lot of things you can do yourself as well as have done. I ask for pics as I see you are in Chicago. A lot of cities actually have issues with something called Industrial Fallout or IF.

Is the color of my car really called Spicy? A bold name for a bold car indeed. I am AMAZED how much attention this thing gets. Perhaps tho it is the loud noise or the bright metallic paint. How about the edgy styling? Maybe it is the epic stalling. And a possibility may even be the wastegate...

The car was examined by my performance shop and looks good. I had the bumpers secured, replaced the SRI filter, changed to NGK copper spark plugs 1 step colder, + had HIDs installed. It currently has: -Upgraded FMIC -Injen SRI -Crappy 2.5 inch crush bent exhaust -Boost gauge and AFR gauge...

I live in Lutherville but spend most of my time in Towson as it's my stomping ground. If not I am down Federal Hill or Fells Point. Are a lot of people from here near B-Mo? We may have to have a drinking night...

Bout 6 grand plus the extended warranty. It's in good condition for a near 10 year old car. The person who owned it before me kept in in pretty good shape and had all of the service records.

Okay so apparently there was a little confusion between the words "CAR" and "BAR". With that said, if you look at the "BAR" pictures, the happiness displayed will sum up to you just how happy I am to have this "CAR". Indeed, this "CAR" is a great ride to show up with at the "BAR", and believe...

A few exterior pics are in my technical thread here! http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123777053 I will take some engine pics as soon as I can clean it up a little bit as she is a little dirty! Thanks!

Hi, I am new to this VB style forum so forgive me if I am beating a dead horse as I am still working on how to selectively search. Also forgive me for presenting you with a near novel length post. I have a 03 MSP in metallic orange with about 106k miles on it which I purchased a few days ago...
