Just keep a couple of bags of potatoes in your trunk until Spring.(sssh)

Here's the link to the Japan recall notice. To save you the time translating, it basically says in engines with turbochargers the transmission mount might come loose and will break if too much torque is applied. http://www.mazda.co.jp/service/recall/177/105/002150.html I think a full...

800 miles in one week... now that's someone I can respect. ;-) Congrats!

Just have a few drinks and she'll pretty up. (drunk)

Street Unit is a taboo url... but that MS3 mod checklist is pretty interesting.

Interesting to see how the MS3 is now the 'target' for high-performance FWD sport compacts. http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/25/dodge-caliber-srt-4-finally-coming-this-fall/

Look on the bright side... you're not a virgin anymore.

You are a poo-poo head... but that's just my opinion. (bowdown)

Man... I hope they at least acknowledge they f'd up. I would totally flip out at the shop foreman for this nonsense. Since there's still a lot of confusion, can someone shed light on how many engine mounts are on the car, and which of them is the one failing? I thought it was primarily the...

Yup... there's nothing that I've read that would indicate any performance gains from one brand to the next. Oil is a commodity that oil companies sell to each other all the time so you might be buying Exxon the next time you pump at a Shell. You're basically buying the cleansing additives...

The part # is: GRMS-8M-L29 You'll find a few distributors online, but I'll go ahead and plug Protege Garage since they're an authorized vendor of this forum. It's $310 including shipping on their site. Although it appears to be back-ordered until mid-July, they sent me mine within a week.

I actually wish there was a Chevron in the northeast. I primarily use Shell since they're all over the place, but would like to alternate brands every 3k miles to keep everything clean. There are a few Texaco stations (part of Chevron) but they're all out of the way.

Agreed... and just to be on-topic, an ECU re-flash isn't needed with a CAI install. The ECU re-flash is a whole separate topic previously discussed in another thread ad nauseum. However, your ECU will need to re-learn and adjust its settings. It normally does this on its own after a few days...

A federal sales tax on cars? ouch!!!

My guess is they pick project cars based the long-term interest of their readers. The MS3 is a relatively new car with limited production numbers while the evo and wrx and civic have been around for a while with plenty of fan boys to boot. Sadly I don't see this changing as '08 will be the last...

I read a thread a while back about what gas people put in their MS3, but there didn't appear to be a final tally on which brand was the overall preference. To make things simple, here's a poll... so just pick the one you use most of the time.

... and don't forget stickers. 5hp each!!! (attn)
