    where are the Austin folks

    I saw an Orange MSP passing me going northbound on the Mopac service road right around William Cannon about a month ago. It was the only time I have seen an Orange MSP. btw, I drove a black MSP. I have also seen a yellow MSP in the office building parking lot around there.

    Attention all oil changers!

    From what I read at various places, other than the dyno Valvoline oil, Valvoline does not worth the money they charge. Here is a virgin oil analysis of 5w30 Durablen: http://theoildrop.server101.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=11;t=000119#000000 Out of all the big brand motor oils...

    That's exactly what I covered. Simple Green did the magic for my MSP and my 200SX SE no R.

    Anyone else check their oil regulary?

    I checked my oil level every week since I put roughly 400 miles every week. I never notice any oil consumption. The strange thing is that after my first oil change, I can hardly tell where the oil level is using the dipstick. The oil level seems to be way past the "H" mark even though I...

    How fast can you do a 1-2 shift before you are hurting the tranny?

    I have been seeing a lot of post about changing to Red Line MTF. When I asked my friends, I got: Change the MTF when you first get the car new or don't change it at all. :confused: Is it true?

    Alright

    That's great. I will definitely take my car to them for my alarm issue and car pulling to left. Do you remember their name by any chance? I doubt the phone person (whatever they are called) will know who "flying mazda" dude is.

    Lights stayed on after arming alarm

    Local reset? Do you mean leaving the car key at "On" position and hit the emergency override button? If that's what you mean, I have done it, but it does not do anything. btw, my alarm went back to normal for a few days after it drained the battery. Maybe disconnecting battery will work...
