Makes sense to me, most saddles are leather.

Dyno sheet as promised - put it in the Dyno sheets section of the All Mazda area here.
Went to the Dyno on Saturday!
1st Run was 261hp/261ft-lb with the hood open.

Well, I've put way too many miles on mine(51,000) and it also needs four tires and front brakes. I think I'll leave it in the garage for a few months to avoid plowing any more money into it and maybe see what the used car market does over that time...

I went and autocrossed in mine (goodyear F1 allseason - 225/40). According to some spectators, they smoke really good when pushed!

I'm looking at the F1 A/S-C, but I've heard that they sometimes get very noisy as they wear. How are yours doing?

they are louder than the stock potenzas. This is my second winter on them, so I've got maybe 3500 miles on them and they show no wear (before last sunday ). I also notice that they are not as smooth riding as the stockers...purely a subjective measure, but it's noticeable. They are good in the wet and snow to about 4-5" and they do grip pretty good considering they're allseasons. That said, I'm not sure I'd automatically buy them again...I'd see what else was available first.

I bought them a few months ago from an ebay seller who sold me (4) NT-05s in size 235/40R18. He was a tad cheaper than DiscountTireDirect, IIRC...

I used Microsoft (Bing) Cashback @ like ~8%, so it ended up being less than $600 after it was all said and done.
I've used saddle products before, but I figured I'd give Zaino's products a try with this car after all the great things I've read about them. The scent alone of their Z-10 "Leather in a Bottle" conditioner is well worth it. It smells EXACTLY like brand new leather.
The Z-9 cleaner works quite well also.///M Compact

Thanks! I've got Pirelli P Zero Nero M+S tires on my MS3 at present. At 25,000 miles they are a bit noisy and due for replacement.

too bad it wasn't the one-77

i would have, but after he left at the light i couldn't get next to him again to ask him if he'd do a 40-roll. then im sure i would have beat him with just my CAI...cuz you all know it's just a driver's race at that point(first)

Made a short shifter bracket, waiting for the ball studs from McMaster Carr to arrive so I can install it (love working at a company that has a machine shop!) Gonna work on installing the power wire for upcoming 10" subwoofer install, trying to find an install kit that isn't way overpriced. Probably wash, clay, wash, and wax the car on Saturday for an epic Mazda Meet on Sunday.
