I have a really bad head ache from reading the worst posts with the worst english ever here, I only hope these are jokers...

I was interested in the Cobb tuning accessport 2.0 thing, but I think I will just strap on the Mazdaspeed CAI and be done with it. My guess is that the increased air will help even out the A/F from being so damn rich...add more air, hopefully with the WOT Richness, it will add the air but no...

So please help me, I am confused... okay one of my best friends (she doesn't know anything about cars except what i tell her...) has a 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege, does that mean she has the LSD that will eat itself or is she safe with the revised one? She has been thinking of trading the car in...

What is the difference between the 3 inch and the 3.5 inch units? Why does the A/F readings go so crazy lean after 4500RPM? Isn't a 10:1 or 11:1 pretty lean? I have heard the DIS is pretty good about monitoring the FI system. Isn't this unit also going to nuke my warranty? I guess it might...

Well just the update of the century: Saturday morning, while noticing the new car smell, I decided to open the right rear door in the garage to air it out. Well, somewhere between there and the driver's seat, I forgot to close it, and didn't notice till I backed up Tommy Boy style and ruined my...

Not sure what out the door was, but I am guessing at $28,340. No extended warranty, and no sale hassles... I'm off to take some pics right now...at least in the garage...

Went to the local Walnut Creek, CA dealership to just "look and sit" in it. The wife fell in love (it's her car anyways) and they wanted $2500 over MSRP but said that if we put a deposit down we could have any one we wanted in 3 months...she said..."too bad, I want this kind...Silver, GT, with...

It is a special DVD system, I have it in my Mazda3, it is like DVD-RAM with special encoding or something. Putting regular DVDs voids the warranty.

No, the wheel locks are extra, reminds me, I should get them. Also, brought the car in, but Service had no idea how to fix it and couldn't call the technician from the corporate office since the whole company has the freakin week off. So gotta wait till next week...

This thread has gotten weird. First of all, I am not bitter, my wife and I chose it for the times we are out an about. The Nav system isn't just a map, it also tells you where Points of Interest are, Resturaunts, Landmarks, etc. So since we drive up and down the coast from LA to Oregon to...

That's excess at its finest? Spending like $10,000 on mods on a Protege5 is not excess? Man talk about warped sense of perspective. But whatever...Mazda must just be targeting all those people who live in excess...well that would be pretty much anyone who drives anything more than a Hyundai...

Re: Re: I have the Navigation No, just the SDAL DVDs made by the Navigation Company - NAVTECH. You void your warranty if you try to put in DVD-R, etc discs.

Got the Titanium with Black Leather, with every option except Auto Tranny. Got the Navigation as well...but... Unfortunately my screen doesn't work, but I was able to play with it in a sedan before I left. It is a great Navigation system. The controls are on the right side of the shifter on...

I have the Navigation Unfortunately my screen doesn't work, but I was able to play with it in a sedan before I left. It is a great system. The controls are on the right side of the shifter on the central console. The system works pretty good, no one at the dealer knew how to use it, because...

Why do we need a intercooler? Since an intercooler is like $1500 of the turbo price, why not run a lower boost level and scrap the intercooler? If a $3800 turbo system includes a intercooler, shouldn't a lower boost system w/o intercooler run like $2000? If I could get my car in the mid 7s...

What's a FMV?

Whoa! I knew that a $2000 turbo system wasn't realistic. Except that Greddy makes a Turbo kit for early 90's Civic EX that is like $2000. IT has only a handful of parts and is easy to install. Sure it is low boost and not intercooled, but I am not looking to race. My wife drives it mostly. I...

Am I the only one that is willing to be cheap and spend like maybe $2,000 on a system that might only put out like 5 psi and net us like 30rwhp? Is there a way to get that much more power without fuel management and extra injectors? Am I the only one who would be happy with a 170HP MP3? The...

I just bought the Yokohama Prada Series 2 - Nice tire with a 300 Treadwear. They also have a rubber strip around the outside which sort of helps our rim scraping problem.

I got the Yokohama Prada Series 2 It cost me $750 OTD with Alignment. I thought that was high until I saw the $450 for two! I have heard these Yokos kick our OEMs arses. I love them so far... Got a 300 Treadwear rating too.
