BTW, it sounds ALOT nicer.

Well, first mod is done. I removed the cat. Sounds nice, now just to see how it does out on the track on thursday if i make it.

Well, actually my first. And I didn't take it all the way out. And no damage that i can see on my car. Just kinda backed into it. Heh. Was kinda funny. My friends came running out calling me names. Oh well.

Yeah, that's right. Not me though. Some other kid that lives in my town did it. He lives up the street from on of my friends. He somehow broke part of it off and it just went kaput. Mazda said next time they wouldn't replace it for free. Also, apparently he's been redlining it from day one, not...

Yeah, I'm getting it. And my dad hinted at that he'd help me pay for it, thus saving me money for other parts.

Well, decided to see what my car could kinda do tonight, and while on the interstate, around 100-110 mph my car was making a beeping noise. Kinda odd. Didn' t know what it was. Has anyone else had this? Was something amiss in my car?

Question for all you guys and gals out there that are experts on the engines. My friend said that a header replaced the exhaust manifold on an engine. Now to my understanding, the exhaust manifold is replaced with a turbo manifold when a turbo is put on the car. Now does this mean you can only...

Now correct me unless I'm seeing this wrong but do you have to re-mount the antifreeze container(i think that's which one it is) for the MHP intake?

Flipping through the TV tonight, saw on speed vision they had an import show. Decided to watch it. Nothing but Hondas(go figure) but on a tv ad for Summit Racing there was a definate MP3. I was shocked. I'm checking out thier website as I type this. I'll post more on it later.

right. that's why my car is at MAZDA getting the scratch fixed..

I know this has been asked a million and one times, but I don't feel like looking through the posts, but could someone give me the number for mazda and what number i need off my car and where i find it to find out what number mp3 i have? thanks.

I was unscrewing my intake to see how much room there was around the engine in general, and I accidently slipped, and the tool I was holding slipped along with me, hitting a another screw. It's one of the four(two on each side) nuts(I guess you'd call it that) near the front that are a brass...

It recently came up in a discussion about the turbo on an MP3. My question is, to all who might know or who may be helping in the making of, how much are we looking to spend on this? This is going to be somewhat of a major deciding factor for me on if I'm going to even be keeping my MP3. It's...

Quick question, does anyone know what the compression ratio is on the MP3? I can't find it anywhere online and can't find any of my car mags that have the MP3 articles.

Well, it's either a) at the crank, or b) at the crank. :) I know it sucks. But not much we can do about it. They will tell you the power at the crank for the most part just because it's higher.

that someone posted on the General page, I'd say I've pretty much committed the rest of my paychecks for the rest of the year, any money I get from my birthday and will be asking for car parts money for Christmas, to buy performance stuff. Quite frankly, approx. 110 hp at the wheels isn't too...

Ug. The 1 time deal of the MP3 was the part that sold me on it. If they go back on that I'd be upset. [ 10-05-2001: Message edited by: Puccio ]

True, true. However, it's protegetech. They're pretty reliable. Let's just hope they are wrong this time.

Pardon my french but you gotta be f*ckin kidding me. On protegetech.com they are saying the MP3 will be made again in 2002 and 2003 with some adjustments. I swear if mazda does that they are gonna have alot of angry people calling up them and bitching them out. I'll be one of them.

Where abouts in south florida are you? I'm in Sarasota.
