    MSP owner looking to score some stock rx-8 wheels.

    So the title really covers it. I know most of you ditch the stock wheels, but truth be told, they look brilliant on a mazdaspeed protege. Besides, a bump from 17" to 18", and the wider tires, yeah. All things I want. I don't expect to get them for free or anything, but I know that some of...

    AWR Tranny Mount Stiffness :

    Maybe a stupid question, but upon doing a little research on cars in general, one observation I've made is that in turbocharged cars with large front mount intercoolers (especially ones with their turbo's in the front of the engine compartment) are doing a disservice to their engines cooling...

    I was just driving home from work tonight, and the car ran completely fine. But as soon as I pull up to my apartment complex, for no apparent reason.. it stalls.
