I hit a piece of tire on the interstate and lost my right fog delete cover. I'm only missing the right but willing to buy the pair if that's the only way it's available. If you have a right one or a pair you're willing to part with, please let me know.

I've recently put on an Injen CAI and Corksport intercooler hoses. I don't think that's the problem but it's probably worth mentioning. The car feels like it has a lot of power in the past couple of weeks. It was hesitating a bit during acceleration so I moved to one step cooler spark plugs and...

A friend with a 2003 P5 wants an MP3 deck and I have a spare Pioneer DEH-1300MP that I'm going to give him. However, I want to make sure the internal amp (which is obviously nothing special on a $60 HU) is going to be enough. The FAQ says the factury HU does 50W RMS but doesn't say what...

EDIT: THIS HAS BEEN SOLD. I have a Glowshift triple gauge pillar pod for the Protege for sale. I got it for my MSP but then decided against using it and went with a single pod instead. This this is BRAND NEW. I only even took it out of the plastic they shipped it in to get a clear pic. I'm...

Can someone tell me the part number for the OEM endlinks for the MSP? Mine are actually worn out enough to be bowed so I figured it's time to replace them.

As of yesterday, my car is as ready as it's going to get. Fresh sway bar bushings, K-MAC camber bolts, an actual performance alignment, and a set of Nitto NT-01s. I'm psyched. Is anyone else from here going?

I just got in a set of K-MAC camber bolts and plan to put them on my MSP this weekend, then get an autox alignment. I've heard lots of negative camber on the front end is good for the MSP. Before I got the bolts, I was thinking of doing just -1 but after some reading, it seems that going for...

I need to replace my O2 sensor, which will involve loosening the heat shield. Does anyone know the torque specs for tightening those bolts back? I'd rather not do it wrong and have my manifold crack on me. While I'm at it, what's the spec for the actual O2 sensor?

I just couldn't stay away. I'm picking up some new rims tomorrow night and getting some decent tires put on them late Dec, early Jan. Still sticking with street tires but at least I'll have a set of rims with good street tires and a set with my usual cheapy crap tires. Next up is to actually...

I'm thinking of getting back into autox, this time a little more seriously. The biggest thing I need is tires (I'm using some garbage all season stuff right now) but since there's some tread left on the ones I have, I figured I'd get rims and tires together and just swap them when I race...

We're going to be out there throwin' down some records, just to be doing it. Gonna be a good time. drhumbra, Keenan Robert, Freckle, Panekk, and I will be spinning hip-hop, trance, breaks, dnb, NRG, and whatever else all day. Come on out and drop by our tent and say hello. It won't be hard...

Starting on the 20th, I'm going to be running a weekly at ONO's on Lobdell. If you're at all into electronic music, you should come check it out. The vibe there is nice and laid back and the bartender is one of the coolest guys I've met.

So I plowed into an effing deer, of all things, on Sunday. :mad: Most of the damage is on the front and left side of the car: my front-left headlight is broken, the hood well bent and dented, and front bumper cover is cracked (a little). Also, I somehow managed to get the car sideways enough...

My front end has been clunking mildly for weeks now but it's starting to get louder. This happens when I drive over uneven surfaces (like my driveway). It's definitely not coming from the back (that clunk's been handled permanently). I remember having to replace the front sway bar bushings at...

I got my first CEL in the MSP this weekend and dropped it off at Diamond this morning to get it handled. They just called and said they "can't" do warranty work on Mazdaspeed cars. What. The. ****. I knew Hollingsworth didn't do it but damn, if I'd known there was NO warranty service in BR...

Everything between Hooper Rd. to Florida Blvd. The officer says they've been getting a lot of complaints about speeding. This brings up a few concerns. 1. The road has a 45mph limit but it's 5 lanes (4 lanes, 1 turn lane down most of it, and huge shoulders). 2. WTF kind of person complains...

This is the first real problem I've had with my 3 and something the dealer just told my wife set off my BS warning so I thought I'd ask around here to see what's up. It's a 2004 3i. The problem was that in a matter of about 1-2 days, the brake and air bag warning lights came on (and stayed...

When I got my new tires (in May, I think), they didn't replace the valve stems (the factory ones) and one by one, they've been failing. I'm about to have to replace the 3rd one and figured as long as I'm doing it, I may as well do it right, so I was looking at some of the flush mount ones like...

I just got my pics back from processing ... weeded out the nasties and touched up the good ones. The Titanium MSP is mine, the black Protege is justanotheradikt's, and the blue Miata is Ryan's (get on the forum, dude :) ). Of course I have higher res and untouched copies of all of them. I...

I just terminated my Sirius service. Since it's not really relevant here, I'll just let people read the rant on my site (www.vinylfetish.net) if they're interested. That said, I need to get the antenna off of my car. I have another month of service left but I don't care enough to leave the...
