    Which Tires?

    Really? I drive the turnpike everyday so I have hit decent speeds while wet and havent had any lack of confidence... but now im scared the placebo effect may run its course :/

    Which Tires?

    after doing my research I just went with the toyo proxes 4's... Being in PA an all-season was a must and I didn't want to sacrifice performance. They're extremely grippy, handle equally as well in wet weather as dry, and I've pushed them pretty hard in the past two weeks I've had them. No snow...

    Silverstars or bust?

    I've been a fan of the luminics bulbs. I think they are a little cheaper than the silverstars and I know they come in yellow, white, blue, and violet. I have had the jdm yellows and arctic whites and loved both. I think I got them for like $30

    SMIC replacement

    Be careful if your using the existing bolts to mount the new smic. The ones used for stock are longer than what is needed for the aftermarket smic (custommsp's at least) if your not careful you'll screw right into the radiator and puncture it. This was only the case for me with the screw at...

    What have you done to your MSP today?

    damn the man saturday i rehung my exhaust with corksport hangers only to be pulled over at like 3 in the a.m. because of yellow headlights (honestly, they came from the dealer that way), then a citation for my exhaust which is not obnoxiously loud, and I know is legal. I'll see you in court...

    What have you done to your MSP today?

    I learned a $170 lesson to look under the hood weekly and re-tighten screws and clamps and such... after losing brake pressure and experiencing irradic idle and vac loss coming off the turnpike, and further having car towed to mazda and renting a car, i learned that the fitting that plugs up an...

    Front mount air duct for SMIC

    yeah, the duct will not sit in front of the radiator, it would be the approximate width of the smic itself, maybe an inch or two wider

    Front mount air duct for SMIC

    I was thinking of fabricating an air duct to mount on the bottom grill area (as mine is missing anyways) that would direct the air onto the entire SMIC. The duct would mount in front of where the bottom of my aftermarket SMIC is already exposed and have fins that would allow the incoming air to...

    ECU Reflash or AFC?

    i think im just gonna get it flashed, turns out i know the service manager and it will only cost me $50 not $96 which is better in comparison to $400 for an AFC. I'm currently boosting at 7.5-8psi (no boost controller), and with a few more additions plan to take it to 10psi, no higher, id much...

    ECU Reflash or AFC?

    Hesitation is driving me crazy, so i made an appt. for the reflash which will run me $96.00. This price got me thinking it is probably better to spend another $300 and get something like the split second afc. Thing is, i really know nothing when it comes to this engine management stuff and I...
