What have you done to your MSP today?

nice, Mazda "master technicians" are assholes. the local guy here told me my subwoofer was blown and it turned out to be a blown fuse. some "Master". also, they broke my hotpipe and refused to replace it.

so far the ones ive had to deal with are. im the type that wont argue if i break something or a mod i made caused teh issue, but damn sometimes they just blame dumb s***.

my passenger window rattles, and he kept the car for a whole day just to deny warranty cause the rattle is my 'aftermarket exhaust'. even though i went out there and showed the service guy the rattle and he agreed. plus, i think theres a big diff between window and exhaust rattle.

not all techs are bad, im sure theres a few good ones, but they are never where you need them.

put on my Vibrant this afternoon. what an improvement! smoother, more powerful, and definately sounds great! it's louder than i expected though, i'm glad now that i didn't get the Perrin, it would've been too much for me.

hmm i would have to hear the whistle...you did use a brand new tb gasket when installing correct? and louder valve tick than the normal protege tick? possibly need to adjust the valves?
 
yes, louder than normal, how long would adjusting them take cause i need help with them ASAP, the whistle only happened after the 4.5 hr trip to here (ATL), so i think it wiggled loose, might just need some tightening
