    Rotorworks: Anyones crack yet?

    Cool man, hope you like em, I spent some extra $$ for the black zinc coated option and they are showing minimal signs of corrosion after a harsh Maine winter. They put Potassium Chloride on the roads here instead of salt and EATS cars. BTW, I just went to their website and did not see the...

    Rotorworks: Anyones crack yet?

    I'm running rotors from R1 Concepts. They are dimpled AND slotted but NOT drilled through for the extra strength. Good luck so far..(6 mos.) corrosion resistant(important in Maine) and they look great. I think they are made in Canada and were about $140us for the front pair.

    turkey sound after installing intake

    Thanks Dirty.... While not as easy to install as other systems, it is obviously not "crap". Did I mention that it beat EVERY short ram in this test?.... INCLUDING AEM, INJEN and K&N......So much for the "lack of R&D" huh? Crashkelly and others need to do their homework and zip it. I am...

    Age of MSP owners?

    Nice!!!...good to see some VW fans about the place. I figure I was into the mid 140HP range with everything I did. It was finicky after the head work...like a switch at about 4200 rpm, it "came alive" all the way to about 6800. I had an adjustable cam timing sprocket on it too(+or- 5 degrees) so...

    Motor Mount Inserts

    Wow!!! OK so I just found out that my rear mount is torn half way through. I DO NOT want a harsh vibrating car. Could I JUST do inserts for now on the rear mount? I hat to replace the whole thing if I can get by with inserts for awhile.

    Motor Mount Inserts

    Ok YES, I know everyone under the sun offers a motor mount kit. I do not drag race or autocross and am not into a buzzing, vibrating car with change rattling in the cup holder. What I am asking is "Has anyone had good luck with INSERTS...like the ones available from Corksport...specifically...

    Dealership problems

    Swaybar dealer pains..... O.E swaybar is red and says "racing beat" on it just like your wheels. Don't take any s*** from the dealer, that is a warrantee item from Mazda and so are the bushings. ALSO.....not ALL Mazda dealers are Mazdaspeed dealers or authorized to do Mazdaspeed warrantee work...

    Ingalls Engine Torque Damper Feeler Thread

    count me in.... I too am ready to stiff up the motor a bit....thought of maybe just going with a front mount only to minimize vibration and get some extra support under load. This solution would be easier to install and would clamp the motor down a bit without any additional harshness.....COOL!
