Yeah there is certainly no shortage of stock piping in the for sale section, but over time all the plastic crap will break. When I was looking to see what I could sell my SLS hot pipe for, I found another one that looks like it is still for sale...

SOLD! I bought this custom hard pipe kit from Korangatang in February of 2012. http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123810831 The couplers and clamps are second to none, made by turbotechniques. If you've ever tried to piece together your own kit, you know how much good silicone...

Well I don't think anything is fundamentally wrong with Brian's setup. It does do a pretty good job of separating the oil. While I have had to empty my PCV can every 1k miles, I haven't been burning any. The AN fittings are overkill and add major cost to the system. While he claimed it is...

Digging up an old thread because I think I found the problem with my setup. I finally got sick of dumping out my catch can every couple months and decided to take off the red valve cover and then use the black one that was otherwise unmodified. Unfortunately, the black one did not come with...

Yeah I actually put hose clamps on top of the band clamps and tightened the hell out of them, it seems to have slowed down, but that might just be because it is colder out. Sucks that replacing them didn't fix it either. I guess I'll just live with it until they run out of grease and start...

My boots are still in tact, but they are leaking at the ends and flinging axles grease everywhere. Rubber just tends to shrink over time out here in AZ. I don't want to replace perfectly good axles because of such a minor problem, so I was thinking I could just tighten the clamps, but there...

Oh it was actually not the end links. Those moog's have held up great. The pop was actually my wheel bearing. I've had the worst time with wheel bearings. Now anytime I hear any noise that's the the first thing I check.

The block is more capable than anything the transmission can handle. I doubt the block will ever be anyone's weakest link.

Never heard of Wolf EMS. Just looked it up, what made you decide to go with this? Australia is a long ways away.

J_Naoto's log shows the closed->open transition very well. You can add as much fuel as you want before and pull as much as you want after but unless you can force open loop earlier, there is no way to consistently get rid of that transition. Here is a collection of some of my more interesting...

Update, the strut bearings were not the culprit. It was actually my right front wheel bearing. It eventually started making a whooshing noise when rolling to a stop. Not sure how it made the pop, but eventually I checked it for play and it was very sloppy. I had actually replaced this...

It doesn't have to take longer than a day for the trims to go rich. While a boost gauge is nice and a wideband is nicer, the most important tool to diagnose any problem with any car is an OBDII scanner, preferably with data logging capability. I always recommend getting an ELM327 bluetooth...

I thought the same thing when I first bought the car, so give him some time.

So I absolutely love my turkey. I bought my car with 30k on it and an Injen already installed in 2006. I've been driving it for six years and learning every step of the way but I've acteally been careful not to kill my turkey, because nothing brings a bigger smile to my face than making...

Start reading the 159 pages of the SSAFC thread to get an idea of what some of us have gone through to try to tune this car correctly. Just swapping injectors isn't going to do the trick. http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123620555-AFC-SplitSecond-PSC1-Map-Library&p=6095918#post6095918

Oh man, 1V actually is rich because it is over .5V and you would expect the PCM to pull fuel. I never even tried doing that with the FIC. I tried 0 and every value up to .5v. I ended up using a negative offset to get the best results. You have to add fuel though to match so it doesn't just...

Yeah this is the main problem with piggybacks and why I threw in the towel. The piggyback can't predict when the PCM will go into open loop, and there are a variety of ways it will do so. In open loop, our cars run very rich and we usually decrease MAF voltage to lean it out. But it also runs...

I have been debating adding the Sony XAV-601BT or the DSX-310BTX to the MSP. They are two of the only receivers on the market that have full wireless Pandora control over your phone. It requires a Bluetooth protocol called SPP that Apple hasn't included yet so it's one of the few features that...

I convinced my brother to buy an MS3 after I failed to convince myself. I test drove it a few times, and liked driving it, lag was acceptable, torque is phenomenal, and the car is a major step up in refinement over the Protege. However, I felt like I was sitting on a stack of phonebooks, and...
