I'm in the same boat as you. I really want to see what they look like on our black msp's.. no luck so far. If it takes too long, you'll just have me as a reference. The guy I bought my car from curbed the s*** out of two of the wheels, and when I get a few other things out of the way, that's...

I have nothing to contribute, I just wanted to let Mazdaspeed2oo35 know I was drooling just now. I really want a pair of those 18x8 rx-8 rims..

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the OEM pads/rotors are EBC. As far as the EBC combo's rumors of squeaking, all brakes are going to squeak if your romping on your brakes the minute you install them. They have to gradually make their groove in the rotors. I worked at a part store...

I'm sure It's been posted here before, but I can't seem to pull up anything under the search function. I had the link before and lost it. It was a single piece that attached to the front bumper, and came in all msp colors. It also had the option of coming in plastic or carbon fiber. Here's...

That really does suck. If it makes you feel any better, my mazda's been out of commission all winter. I have to sell my other car, (a 1971 chevy monte carlo, and my first car) because I can't afford the engine for the mazda otherwise. I've been using the car for daily driving (no heat) here...

Seems now that after driving it a little today that its more of a whistle. It only makes noise when i'm off the gas. I'm going to be delving into the engine as soon as it cools down a bit. I'm thinking its air leak/pcv valve related. Only thing I really know that could make this noise. It...

After a little snooping, im pretty sure it isnt actually coming from the block itself. Engine knock would change the way it drove, and it drives just the same. Thinking the fan clutch may have gone bad, because the whirring is more of a spinning noise, things in motion. Also changes noises...

No one can help me out on this entire forum?

Bump if you don't have any way to help. Anything counts!

like a whistle or a whine.. if it was kerplunking i'd be in even bigger trouble.. lol. Im close to having the money for a shortblock/engine, but I still need cash to cover its installation.

For some who know, and many who don't, my car has had some problems. When I bought the car, it was leaking oil. The cam and crank seals were replaced, timing belt and pulley, and a few misc items. The oil leak stopped, and was soon replaced by excessive oil burning. Dealershit charged me a...

What kind of stiffnesses did all of you use? That was more so my question - the difference between stiffnesses, and what a somewhat stock mazdaspeed should have, and those mounts compared to the original ones.

This is a movie we all need to see.. IN THEATRES. The more car movies gross in theatres, the more the demand to make more of them will increase. Even if you hate Fast and the Furious Movies - if you like cars, go see it in theatres. At least so we don't have to stomach another movie like...

The AWR Transmission mounts come in three stiffness settings - 70, 88, and 95 durometer. I'm looking for people who've had these in their msp's and can tell me the differences they felt in performance, cabin vibration, and overall appeal. When it needs replaced, upgrade. At least, thats my...

My vote this month is for Akaveli, the oem plus/purist look never gets out of style, and a clean engine bay.. unlike some contestants. Amazing car, as well as to all of you. I'll be in the winner's circle someday :D

I'm a sucker for black on black, hands down! But those other rims are nice, too. What are they?

Thanks guys, but you're under the assumption that this is something I plan on jumping head first into. I was just curious to its advantages and disadvantages vs a smic or fmic, and, my desire to have something that no one else has, lol. My car has no cooling problems, but I can see how people...

Well, IF this thing is even feasible, I'd be building the hell out of the car, and running much higher. I know that first, I'll be purchasing the customSMIC off protegegarage.com to replace the painfully inefficient factory one. The dsmic setups I've seen have the smics kind of mounted...

I think the temperature increase depends on the size of the intercooler itself, and since its being re-directed away from the radiator, there is a definite temperature increase. Like you said though, I'm not sure as to how significant it is, I'm just suggesting that this idea seems more...

The opposite side. I found a diagram of one before, but I can't find the damn thing now. Go figure. The opposite ends channel into one, and then a pipe connects the two together. I gotta find this picture. Let me scour the web, because I realize I'm being terribly vague.
