    Sumitomo tires, generally speaking, opinions?

    I can't really help you on the all-seasons, but I've run a Sumitomo Ultra High Performance summer tire. They were a nice tire for the money, good grip, great in the rain while the tread lasted but I got about 2/3 the wear as the Yokohamas I've had. And the Yoks weren't all that much more expensive.

    Exhaust question

    f you don't want to go aftermarket, just get a used exhaust manifold from a boneyard, they should be pretty easy to source. $1100 is sheer madness IMO. Which 02 sensor is bad? The Mazdaspeed "Sport Exhaust" is just an axle-back, but if you are interested in a Racing Beat Cat-Back I can quote...

    FS: Thunder Turbo Manifold, gt2554r, MSP ECU.. etc

    I can't tell from that angle if it's a V1 or V2, would have to see the rear and the EGR bung. The warranty isn't really transferable but if this is a V1 I will certainly help in any way possible if there is a problem in the future.

    Suspension Issue?

    It's definitely the offset causing your problem then, not your suspension. http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9129

    Suspension Issue?

    I think it's the offset, that's a pretty aggressive stance, +38 or less? Need more info, from the pic it looks like there's more wheel gap in the front, but hard to tell.

    What car are you ashamed to have OWNED?

    Wow, a 1982 K car! My most shameful ride: a blue 1974 Nova Coupe with an in-line six and a white vinyl roof. The ultimate old lady to church car. Not cool at all. The only fun thing about it...it was a hatchback and with the seats folded down you could lay down in it...which came in handy on...

    Thunder exhaust manifold sucks

    I probably just volunteered for the guillotine here but I will say it anyway... The Thunder mani is like any other part, aftermarket or OEM. It was designed with a specific purpose in mind. This as a stock replacement to provide better flow. It wasn't designed for more than 10-12 psi. It wasn't...

    **Please Read** Need a stock exhaust manifold.

    Honestly, not even the V2 is made to stand up to 19psi. In fact, I tell everyone who buys one now that modifying the mani itself or running that kind of power will void the warranty. These were engineered as an improvement and replacement for the stock manifold. And yes, they are still made...

    Direct-replacement MSP exhaust manifolds are HERE!

    The price below is accurate, although you are close enough to me that I could meet you somewhere if you wanted to save $15. The turnaround time is 2.5 to 3 weeks once payment is made Thanks. Can you send me a PM regarding your cracking problem? Do you have a V1?

    Dude, you never even opened the plastic bags? That had to be at least two years ago. Haha, this is a super-rare find. And a great deal compared to what this goes for new.

    Need some help with 2002 Protege Auto

    But if she's having acceleration/hesitation it's gotta be something with the intake system I think, not the exhaust? The 1.6 is notorious for hesitation problems. If the MAF is already cleaned then maybe it's just broken.

    If you have the 1.6L I'd say it was a bad/dirty MAF.

    4-Sale Protege Vavle Cover

    I just PM'ed Ken to see how much he'd want for powdercoating it. And I would want the cutout finished. I can't sell that last set of cam gears I have in stock so I am thinking about using them.
