Anyone got the K&N part number handy?

derf derf... I read the thread on fordexplorer.net too. (headshake)

I never noticed this sound before now and am curious to know whether it's normal. When the engine is revved in neutral, or accelerating at low speeds, there's a distinct air flow sound coming from the engine bay. It's not the turbo spooling, I'm not that dumb. It's a strange noise and I've...

I've noticed a shuddering in the pedal, but I thought that was just ABS? It has happened a couple times where the brakes weren't going to lock though.

I'd come, I've never met any of you but you can't treat me like the new guy on that Wendy's commercial. Hehe! :p

I'm a bit confused about what you mean by "general" reckless, do you mean they got a 20mph+ ticket or were driving, well, recklessly? FCPD is a monster that's out of control. I have full confidence that they'll be trapping if I'm speeding, I have no confidence that they'll be around when actual...

Thanks for the welcome, this board has nice people which is good to see. Don't need to dyno, I'm bone stock and staying that way, but I'll come to see what the Mazda gtgs are like! (previous VW owner) (2thumbs)

At least you were actually speeding. I got followed and then pulled over for doing 35 in a 35 past a cop. I think he got pissed that I wasn't breaking the law. I got a warning for not having my county sticker, even though I was within the 60 days since buying my car to get it. MSP owners just...

Hehe, I didn't think to look here before. Hi! I'll definitely come out to the next GTG, hopefully a day when it's not so cold! (lurk)

A bit late I know, but that was me! My grandmother lives there, I was visiting for the holidays.

(did a search, didn't find what I needed exactly) As the topic says. I was planning to do the 5,000 mile intervals, since it's a hassle to not have my car while @ dealer, but the manual says 3,000 if you run hard, drive slow a lot, etc. (I don't gun it very often, but I have a nasty habit of...

I'm glad you're superior to everyone on the east coast. Unfortunately, your argument falls apart within your argument. Do you know why a lot of snow isn't a big deal there? As you said, it happens a lot. Of course everyone is going to be used to it. I may have been trolled, but that's ok. I...

Well, my car has stayed put for 2 days due to 6 inches of snow. I know the main roads are plowed, but my little street is still white instead of black. It's about 1/8 mile down a slight hill to pavement. Question is, do I try to get out? P.S. I know I'm dumb for not getting winter tires. That...

Update: I've fixed the major handling problems by redoing the tire pressure (all 4 were different PSI), didn't think about it since I had filled them all last week. Damn this freaking cold weather. However, I'm still noticing a weird feeling when driving, and the idle seems rough. I'm thinking...

Only 2000, gonna go to the dealer and see what they say. I'll get a alignment printout from Sears or something beforehand.

I searched and searched some more, but found no mention except in a unrelated thread. Does anyone's wheel tilt slightly to the left, and if so, have you gotten the stealer to fix it? And would misalignment cause that problem as well? Thanks guys, you all are great at answering my stupid...

I've been getting bad hop going in reverse out of my parking space. It's never been a problem before, and steering seems a bit off now. I did a search and found someone with a blown LSD who had similar problems, how would a car drive with that condition? Could a blown/stuck diff. cause pull to...

It's the driver. It's harder than most cars to get the clutch -> gas movment just right. I had the 'rumble' but it stopped after I got used to the car and started being more deliberate with my shifts.

Thanks guys! :D

My apologies if I'm asking lame questions, but I've read through most of the forum to no avail. Anyhoo... 1) How long do you let the car warm up in the morning/cold? I usually wait the 5 minutes until the temp gauge starts moving. 2) I'm way upside down on my financing so I'll be keeping this...
