    What's everyone's thoughts and feelings on joining a Fraternity while in college?

    I am a fraternity alumni, and was in a fraternity throughout college. Here's some pointers based on my experiences. I should add that I was friends with the majority of my brothers before I decided to join. I suggest you get to know the fraternity you're thinking about pledging before you do it...

    Unbelievable. This thread has had 848 replies. If leg humping was an olympic sport, Mazda Forums would be the world class dream team. Why can't I get this many replies when I have a tech question?

    New Mod Many Wanted

    Guys, I hate to derail the gravy train, but you need to have an AV or an AMM status to sell bulk (numerous identical items) quantities of products at Mazda Forums. If he's interested in selling here, he has to sign up and get the credentials from Antoine prior to selling. If you want to be his...

    Veyron losses race...

    Given constant acceleration for both, it's all proportional. But +1 for a creative commercial :)

    Veyron losses race...

    As if this even needed a physical arguement: The buggati veyron does 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds. From a start, this translates to a constant acceleration of 11.12 m/s^2. Given this constant acceleration, after 1 second, the veyron would be doing 11 m/s, after two seconds 22.24 m/s, after three...

    before and after pic's of my MSP

    Ok, be sure to get some pics outside in the sun so we can get some nice reflections off the hood to see any irregularities. Also in case you don't know, waxing fresh paint for the first 4-6 months is a no-no.

    Depends on how much your lawyer fees would be lol. Chances are it's going to be real expensive by the time it's all said and done. Give yourself an estimate of the repairs...which would be less? Keep in mind that courts are rarely fair, and you're not gauranteed a win in this lawsuit by any...

    before and after pic's of my MSP

    I know you know, but overspray is a huge problem when you're not painting things individually in an enclosed environment. Everything in your garage got hit no doubt (including the stuff on the shelves). Did you look over anything that was exposed on your car to see how bad it was? Looks as...

    I don't know dealership policy, but if I was a tech there, seeing that the PCM harness was previously tapped would be a big red flag to me. Remember, they have pinout charts, so they know exactly what wires were tapped and what for.

    More than your internals can handle. See my last comment. With the MSP platform, an upgraded clutch should be one of the last things on your list. Before servicing your MSP yourself, get a shop manual. If you can't afford a shop manual, at least get a Haynes manual.

    Strange, whine in engine bay

    Also, check that your drive belt is tensioned correctly. If the whine is coming from the transaxle at idle, it may very well be your oil pump.

    Not necessarily, especially if they have reason to believe that you're mechanically ignorant. With engine management and a "boost kit", it doesn't take very much to go from A. to B. (A. being the modifications, and B. being a blown motor). Maybe these modifications weren't enough to void the...

    Strange, whine in engine bay

    If your PS fluid resevoir is a bit low, your pump can produce an audible whine (louder with decreasing fluid levels). You may not be able to "feel" your steering affected if your fluid level is high enough. It sounds a lot like metal on metal. Just a thought.
