this past weekend in hillsboro, OR, i attended the paul eklund rally school per recommendation of a coworker/friend that regularly does rally racing (TSDs mostly). while i was surrounded by AWD vehicles (mostly subarus), the mazda held up well. considering i literally rolled off the street and...

i'm currently living in portland, OR, and working slightly westward in hillsboro. strangely enough, the unichip headquarters are roughly down the block from me. i spoke with a guy who contracts with unichip to do tuning, and i should be able to get the banana in the shop soon. now to my...

hey y'all. it's been a long while since i've posted, but the speed seems to have a rather large issue that needs addressing, and any input/advice would be great. situation: the car has intake, smic, full exhaust, atp wastegate actuator, and the unichip with a turboxs mbc @ 10 psi (instead of...

Hey y'all. I'm looking to pick up a laptop, and to make that happen, I need to find a new home for my desktop. Here are the specs on it: * Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 processor (dual-core) @ 2.93 GHz (stock speed) ... more info here -...

So Friday morning the car is working fine. Normal driving, everything is grand. Friday afternoon comes about, and I'm caught off-guard - my A/C isn't working. The blower is going about its business, but not cold air. Weird, I think, and I just turn it off and keep going. Farther down the...

So, just because I think it'd look a bit nicer (and so i don't have to deal with going into the wheel well to clean it), I'd like to turn my CAI into an SRI. I've searched around, but I haven't found out as to what you do with the temperature sensor that is right after the MAF and before the...

So, had some free time last night, and my friend and I installed my new CustomMSP SMIC. The uninstall of the stock intercooler and install of the new IC went fine as far as we can tell. Post install, we took the car out for a drive to see what it was like. *note*: The car was previously...

Anyone have a link to a guide or a few pics (or anything helpful) related to installing upgraded side motor mounts? I'd appreciate it. D.

Threw on the GReddy SP2 catback late this last week. It was mated up to my 2.5" Apex catted midpipe. Initially, there was an issue with a horrible sound coming from near the midpipe. I assumed it was something hitting the heatshield, and it was. After adjusting the heatshield so that the...

I should be getting my Unichip in the mail later on this week, and I plan on installing it fairly soon. Anyone have any advice when installing? Or, for that matter, how about post-install advice? I've read up on some idling issues for a few cars. I appreciate it. D.

Hey y'all. I've searched around, but haven't found the answer I was looking for. What kind of benefits would one have by replacing the OEM wastegate? Provided I'm not having any issues with the stock piece, would replacing it provide a couple pounds of boost? Maybe more steady boost...

I recently purchased a Unichip from ProtegeGarage. I'm aware that the Unichip comes with a boost controller, but that it's rather sub-par. I'd prefer to go out and pick up something along the lines of a GReddy Profec-B, but money is rather short. Seeing as power isn't my main priority...

Hey guys <O:p Ive been out of the protg scene for a while with school keeping me so busy, but Im back to working and making some money here over the summer.<O:p</O:p <O:p The car is near 60k miles, so along with some standard maintenance, there are some things that need repairing (as well as...

Hey guys. I haven't been online in a while, keeping busy with work and classes. I have, up for sale, an Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 processor. It has been in my desktop computer for a couple months, but I've come across another processor that I'm gonna use in my system. The processor is a...

don't know how many people on here are gaming nerds like myself, but i thought i'd give it a shot. Up for grabs is an eVGA nVidia 7900GT CO w/ a Zalman VF900-Cu heatsink and Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound. the card has been volt modded to 1.55 volts (this isn't dangerous; the 7900GT's are...

i'll be coming up on 30,000 miles sometime in the near future. i've checked the dealers website for their '30k recommendations', and i feel they just straight up listed anything and everything possible. that's great and all, but i'd really not wanna drop hundred's of dollars when my car is...

so i received an ipod for xmas, and i'd like to be able to throw it in the msp whenever i go for a drive. after google'ing for a while, i've seen: - air vent mounts - dash brackets - cup holder mounts these are alright, but i'd like to be able to have something as clean as possible without...

could someone take out the guy on the farthest left (bald college kid)? he broke up with the girl he has his arm around (my gf's sister), but we really like the pic, so if he could just disappear, that'd be great. thanks in advance. drew.

So i recently got Xebian (a variant of Debian) up and running on my xbox. I've never used any OpenSource OS like Linux before, so I'm rather clueless when it comes to some of the simplest things. Basically, all I wanna do is browse the web and do some chatting. Mozilla is already loaded and...
