    Carbon Fiber rear upper window spoiler? DGM are you listening!?

    Not bad GMOEI! How does it compare to a install on the car it was made for? I really like your paint and interior pattern btw!

    Since I have 205/50 R16's, wouldn't my millage be slightly higher then I'm actually calculating? btw, I am calculating by resetting my pedometer after an exact fill up (when the pump clicks), then dividing that number by the gallons for the next fill up, and so on...

    Would I benefit more from a MP3 or say a Unichip ECU... Do the gains justify the price...? Next up is VTCS Removal.

    Yeh, I realize it and knew there would be a slight loss before buying it. But unfortunately for my millage, it fits my lifestyle being I mountain bike, surf, and snowboard (of which the rack is used). So it is used all year long. Sure I can use the hitch mounted bike rack (which I had first and...

    TheMAN, my bad. You have posted many knowledgeable and thorough topics. Didn't mean anything. I saw your threads on the plugs that upsman referenced. I'm going to read them more thoroughly tomorrow.

    Yeh, I know :( My state no longer has those gas stations. Well at least not anywhere remotely close to my area. There was a big discussion on Techron a while back and really makes a difference in our cars!

    Spark Plugs: 1) Long Reach or Extended Reach? Are they different? I've seen both terms used. 2)Brand: Bosch, NGK, etc. (where do I get JDM?) are others better/equally as good? (have a discount at a independent auto parts store, and they carry quite a few brands) 3)Spark Plug Part Number...

    Damn brotha, not bitching exactly. Just figured if you put everyones techniques into one thread, it could help us all. I don't recall complaining in the opening post.. But anyway, can you expand more on the intake cam and VTCS removal if you wouldn't mind?... Would you say this is accurate...

    upgrade to mazda3 windshield washer nozzles?

    I'm going over to my local Mazda dealer sometime within the week to pick up a pair of the Tribute ones. Its a Mazda/Ford dealer (sad), so I can easily pick the lesser ones if there is a price difference. My problem is not only what everyone has been mentioning, but with my R/C hood with pre...

    I've been debating about the catless (stock exhaust) for a while... How much of an improvement would it give? Are there any drawbacks? And how do you prevent it from throwing off our sensors and warning lights..

    One headlight out but works with highbeams, wire harness problem? (not bulb)

    happened again! My HID's are coming but still worry about sealing the connectors to prevent this from happening again. Could it be that I never installed my weather stripping on my R/C hood, enabling water to seep between while driving..?

    Dedicated to improving gas millage, by any means! EVERYONE POST I know this has been discussed many times over the years, but with gas prices constantly rising...I'm guilty of considering a VW TDI for an alternate car. I love my ES, but can't stand the 26.7mpg per tank... Comon' its a 4cyl...

    Gemini R/C Carbon Fiber hood cloudy!

    Thanks! But like I said, after wet sanding the gel coat to get rid of the discoloration, does it need another NEW gel coat before getting the clear, or just what is left of the gel coat...
