    Beyond Bolt On - The Cheap Road

    There's a really great thread here on the forum, where the gauntlet has been thrown down for those interested in building a beast of an NA motor: The goal of 100 hp per liter of displacement. These engines are thrilling to drive, and the sound they produce at idle is enough to make the hairs on...

    Engine Whistling Noise ???

    My protege has developed a recent noise that sounds a lot like turbo whine, which is a bit wierd for an NA car. The noise is ONLY made under hard acceleration, over 3500rpm. It is not reproducable from a hood-up rev-the-piss-out-of-the-motor inspection. Any ideas?

    STS Suspension setup questions

    Okay, getting frustrated with the string of crappy finishes in STS. The car is decently setup, but it seems I just can't get a lot of grip. I get into the corners, the front starts to understeer/push, and that's as hard as it will turn without getting out of shape. This has led to a steady...

    Ground Control Coilovers

    Just finished installing GC coilovers on the car, but wasn't happy that the springs go totally loose (like 2" of gap between spring & perch) when the shock is at full extension. Is that typical for GC coilovers? I'm worried what the suspension will do when the suspension has to droop, like...

    Camber Plate Installation

    I've got a set of Cusco camber plates from a BG Mazda chassis (94 Protege). I've been told the attachment 4-bolt pattern is the same, but I may need new shock tower nuts. So, I plan to try the install with new Tokico's (due tomorrow) and used MSP springs (on floor in box). Now, I had these...
