Yeah, that's exactly how I felt.

Thanks, but I'm looking for one that's fully intact.

My car swallowed a VICS screw or two, so I'm looking to replace the intake manifold. The manifold needs to be fully intact, or at the very least have all of the VICS components. Also, it would need to be shipped to 27560 (Raleigh NC area). I definitely don't mind picking it up if the drive...

Just talked to Mazda... My car falls just outside of the vin range covered by the recall. I even called Mazda USA's customer assistance, hoping that they could help me out, but I had no such luck. I guess I'll just have to fix it myself.

Not me... They handle x100 better than the crappy Kumhos I was running before. I'll admit, on a cold morning they're a tad slippery until I get them warmed up, but then again, they are summer tires. So far, I'm 100% happy with them.

What's the problem with the factory strut bar? I mean, I've had it off for various reasons three times in the last week or so, and it seems pretty sturdy to me. I wouldn't even bother replacing mine, unless maybe someone gave me an aftermarket one. I surely wouldn't spend any money on it.

I woke up this morning to a dead battery. A jump start and $100 later, I've got a new Duralast Gold that matches the car...

When it was repaired, did they also do an alignment?

Removed a bunch of garbage from cylinder #4 and now she purrs like a kitten...

I called Mazda this morning and they told me there was no recall, that it was just a TSB which is only covered if you're still under warranty, so I thought I'd take a stab at it myself. Check out what I found in cylinder #4 Once I fished all the bits of metal out of the cylinder and replaced...

Nevermind... It didn't help at all. See this post.

On my way home, just as I was parking in front of my house, I get a CEL and then engine goes into like limp mode or something. I pop the hood and get out to take a look and immediately I can hear what sounds like loose change in the dryer. I'm not sure what it is, but I know that something bad...

I'm lowered somewhere between 1" and 2" and have no problem with the ramps.

It looks awesome! I bet you can't wait to get it on the road...

Well, it's only been a day, but so far it hasn't stalled and I haven't noticed any irratic idling yet...

cleaned out the EGR valve and replaced a burnt out headlight yesterday...

I tried the playing card route on a set of wheels from a previous car and it was kind of annoying because they wouldn't stay in place. Considering how much time I spent scraping and sanding those wheels, I think I prefer the tape because that stuff is not going anywhere. If you were just...

I taped my tires up real good and just used aircraft paint stripper without a problem. It took several applications, but I eventually got about 95% of the paint off. I'll admit, I was a little bit worried that the paint stripper might affect the tires in some way, but it didn't.

No I haven't filled out the rebate form yet, but you're right, these tires are awesome. They stick to the road solo much better than the crappy Kuhmo ASTs that I had before.

Got my tires installed today...
