    How and y did u get in to mazdas or tuners.

    I was a Mazda Rev-it-up waiting for my turn on the course and opened up the back of a 6-5 door. Holy crap this thing had a lot space. I had driven one on course at last year's event. Even with a 4 cyl it pulled and handled light years better than the pickup I had at the time. I had owned the...

    Mechanical Engineer looking for job!!!

    ↑ I guess I have just had some bad dealings with head hunters. I got set up on an interview with a company, and was told the only time available was first thing in the morning. I got there before the interviewer had even shown up. It makes him look bad for not being prepared and me look bad but...

    Mechanical Engineer looking for job!!!

    Finding a "good" job is all about networking. If you had a high performance vehicles concentration then you should have had contact with the folks in SAE. A person that knows you and can vouch for your ability goes a long way, there are a lot of positions out there that are not listed. Don't...

    Good Performance shops for Mazdas

    PMed 07mz3. I don't mind spending a little more if I can go get it right now. $5 shipping for a $7 part does make much sense right now. Thanx

    Good Performance shops for Mazdas

    Along the same lines as the origonal poster, does anyone have any recommendations for performance parts, specifically the madison area? I am looking for AN fitings. I need one fitting and would rather not pay for shipping on that one item. Thanx in advance.

    my S14 240sx build......

    Forgive the reply two months later (haven't been on the board in a while) , but anyhow: I don't know how you could start a ka with any part of the timing cover off. The lower cover has has both the oil pump and the water pump mounted to it and the upper has the distrubutor attached. So no, the...

    my S14 240sx build......

    Very nice build, I will be eventually putting an GT-series in mine when my manifold cracks again(an AMS manifold is waiting in the wings). Did you get a prelude sock for the walbro pump? If not I would recommend it, the sock that typlically comes with the kit will not get all the way down into...

    How do you eat sushi?

    Some years ago some of us from work took a japanese client out for lunch at Todai. All of us americans are picking up our sushi with chop sticks, some failing more than others. The Japanese client looks at us strangely, shakes his head, and says "Sushi finger food".

    wrecked/salvage cars

    That looks to me like it just go pulled from the bottom of the bayou. Or at least that is what pier sections look like after we pulled them out of the lake in Wisconsin when we flooded last year.

    Smelly gas contributers?

    Last new years eve this steak restaurant had Apple glazed pork chops on special. They were quite good but the aftereffects were appalling. Doing shots before heading out for the nights festivities and trying to keep from falling on the floor laughing from the comments of "damn what died in...

    Emissions Standards Autonomy

    I imagine that for some states testing will get worse and for others it may get better. The Chicago area, for example, has been pushing to do away with emissions testing altogether. First dyno testing all the <'95 cars proved to be very expensive...not to mention the cost of repairing vehicles...

    Current Ford Mondeo will underpin the next Fusion

    They couldn't have thought of this a few years earlier?!...before they came up with a larger mazda6/fusion platform for the US only. Its waste's of resources like this that has put ford in the hole.

    When I think of a Mazda driver...

    I had the same though as you (Mazda drivers are good drivers), until I was shopping one day and I observed one of the salesmen describing the crash he was in. The salesman was the passenger in an RX-8 which had the entire front end torn off. I believe he said of the owner that this was his first...
